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.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.

It seems to me YDI. You keep using unreliable and sensationalist sources in a community with rules against such sources.
Right and did I ever post an opinion piece? Is a clickbaity title misinformation?
You're all so quick to focus on something unrelated to the actual issue which is the lyings for the reason of those removals.
The point is that these sites are extremely unreliable and it adds a lot of work to the reader to distinguish fact from opinion from misinformation. The reason for the removals I think is meant to encompass the fact that you mostly seem to be posting these unreliable sources.
And in regards to that I had already had prior discussions with mods in both World and News and we came to an understanding on what is acceptable and what isn't.
None of that justifies deliberately incorrectly labeling a news article an opinion piece, removing the post, and citing posting opinion pieces as a reason for a ban. It's completely bogus.
