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.
YPTB 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
I notice you prefered to avoid answering my question about foreign leaders who regularly quote fascist intellectuals, intellectuals who openly admired Hitler and Mussolini. Instead you brought up the double genocide, which wasn't relevant to my question.
Why do you think it is that you'd rather not answer a question about leaders who regularly quote fascist intellectuals and the countries that support them?
What would you think if someone tried to change the topic when you asked them a question related to polticians quoting fascist intellectuals?
Where would you think their political affiliations lie?

Here's a link to my reply to you from 30 minutes ago which addresses every point you bring up here. I'll copy the relevant parts below.
Even if we accept whatever you’re trying to say here completely at face value, is your stance that someone who says “this specific claim about China is not supported by credible evidence” has to then answer for every single thing any leader in any country ever supported in any way by China has said?
Yes, you're correct that if there was an overwhelming amount of credible evidence from an almost uncountable number of sources (including the people committing genocide bragging about it) it would be different.
There's no equivalence there. Treating these two things as equivalent minimizes (possibly even rises to the level of denying) the actual genocide.
Let's see if that's true. What were you referring to with leaders who quote fascist intellectuals, because my point in referencing double genocide was the "Red Fash" trope that libs refer to often, but there may have been a misunderstanding.
You seem to have found this an intriguing point to hone in on, willingly ignoring the rest of the points I and others had mentioned as well. If we're making such inferences, what does that infer about you?
What do you think it infers about me?
That you're intellectually dishonest, a real dialog with you isn't possible, and I'd have a more coherent conversation with a dog, thus this conversation is now over.
You are indeed correct that a real dialog isn't possible with people who are intellectually dishonest to others and themselves.
Especially when it comes to certain world leaders who regularly quote fascist intellectuals.
Chickenshit response
Thank you for the compliment.
Hey, here's a 'fun' quote for you:
The country China is supporting and all your cosplay communist friends on hexbear and .ml can't help but make excuses for.
Gee, wonder why people don't treat you with the respect you deserve! SO UNFAIR!
Lol sorry China isn't meeting your personal moral standards, maybe you should send them a strongly worded letter about it
