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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.

YDI
Those are both edits to existing replies where I was trying to be an asshole, AFTER I could no longer reply and received a ban message. Why Lemmy would let a banned user edit historic comments I dunno.
I can't seem to view my OG comment in my own history or modlog, or any of them prior to editing. The most asshole the OG comment got was "your bravado is reckless and dumb af", but still got like 95% / 40+ downvotes from a user base who believe nuclear war is a joke. It's the first time I've bothered using the modlog, and as a feature that was touted for its transparency it's honestly not much better than reddit. Can't even seem to view the mod who made the decision.
Why do that after the fact if you're innocent? You want to preserve all content the way it was if you suspect power-tripping. Editing it after the fact is just tampering with the evidence.
YDI, for being a careless fool and tampering with the evidence after the fact. Here's a tip, if you get banned by a power-tripper, don't edit any of your comments, don't even correct a typo. Edits can be used against you because they cast doubt on what really happened.
