Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

MODERATORS
sh.itjust.works is a Nazi bar. There are some good users, but they have the most zionists, pro-imperialist users, mods, admins, etc.
PTB.
Typical Liberal hellhole, they constantly hit left and demand everyone give in to fascism and then claim somehow everyone else is dividing the left
Punch left, cater to the right. Then wonder why the left doesn't trust them, as they vote in fascists with a better PR campaign.
Yep, Eugene V. Debs' Ghost even pointed out how someone linked evidence of goat's transphobia, then goat went and edited it away to hide it.
It was transphobia to be more exact. @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone have a link to Goat being transphobic while claiming to stand for trans people. Goat edited the link after months, after she posted the evidence.
I find personally people who are happy to see Palestinians die generally arent to fond of any other minorities (shocker)
Ah, my bad, thanks for the correction!
It's amazing how goat is just here to get attention while saying it's to clear their name but only makes themselves look worse
Keeps posting their own ass, people call them out, posts ass more. Rinse and repeat.
Them making up rules in this comm then being upset no one wanted to use them wasn't on bingo card.
Yep, they revel in the drama. Judge me by my biggest haters.
Honestly wonder if mwog was made specifically because of a slight they received on a grad comm or simply because they love attention
The latter, goat's a cryptofascist.
