1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards

https://lemmy.ml/u/davel

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Community Ban

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

(I have not posted there)

Likewise the community has no rules listed, so I'm not sure how I've broken rule 4

Davel is probably going to try to claim me downvoting a post or comment of his that popped up on my feed or something as me breaking the entire instances rule 4 (no spam?) - which is why I need to be banned only from one community I don't engage in.

Lemmy.ml admin Davel has been rage downvoting my posts a lot lately, even going so far as to downvote me telling real legitimate antisemites to 'fuck off'.

Even CowBee had the decency to admit they were in the wrong and change their ragevote to an upvote.

Davel however seems to especially thinskinned even for the typical .ML'er and would rather double down and engage in poorly disguised retaliation bans for criticisms of a political ideology.

This thought terminating behaviour on display by one of the admins of such a reputable and outstanding instance as Lemmy.ml was not at all warranted and I hereby call on the leadership at lemmy.ML to unban me so that I may continue to not post in their community.

Weird how they came in here suddenly.

B-but it was on all of our front pages! Ignore when we post it, link it, screenshot everyone, on our Slop community! Then talk about how much we hate them but don't do anything to stop getting angry about it on the same community!

Edit: it keeps happening, wow I'm so shocked.

Edit 2: on the front page of Slop, users from Hexbear commented and then went to the post being discussed https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59235577?scrollToComments=true

"But we don't do that! Lemme just prove we do!"

Didn't come here from slop or any other comm, it's genuinely the top for me. Default settings, which are sorted by All & Active.

Considering we're not federated with .world, this is probably the most active thread on our federated spaces.

Edit: also there's quite a few .zip bots which would have artificially boosted the activity

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

You couldn't have come here from slop because this thread isn't on slop: they're just lying through their teeth

[-] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

oh yeah the .zip bot, I was surprised it somehow got through

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

The zip bots are very odd. I've reported them for spam.

And again, it was not the top when I checked. I concede things may have changed since then, but when I checked while work was slow it wasn't.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

I think the discrepancy comes from whether or not you're logged in to an existing Hexbear account.

I got a screenshot on PC in an incognito window for just visiting Hexbear as a guest (default: Local and Active) vs my default as a user (All and Active, since federation at the very least)

Ignore the Nvidia pop up, I launched a game in the middle of testing this

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 days ago

It's the "local" vs "all" sorting.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

I personally used the "all" setting when I checked, but it's important to note.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

That's probably a factor, I don't have an account there.

How dare you play video games and have fun!

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

This hasn't been posted to slop, you dishonest troll. As ever, you're just mad that communists are allowed to use the website built by communists

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

Yeah that acct is phony AF. A lib insult to the memory of EVD.

Hello I got here from the front page and as you can see (if you’re timely):

https://hexbear.net/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=Active

This post is currently at 2nd place of our front page, discounting the pinned megathreads.

Now I have provided proof of our position, will you provide proof of yours?

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

Of course they won't prove their position; their irrational boiling hated is all the proof they need

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1513 readers
19 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.
