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.

I'm very supportive to use correct pronouns for 3rd person.
This user seems to want to take use neopronouns 1st and 2nd person too.
What is the issue with "I" and "you"? Everyone defining their own pronouns for those two, while they are gender neutral, seems confusing.
Maybe I'm missing something.
no one should have to reconcile their preferences for you to take them seriously.
i don’t know why bill is a common shortening of william, but i don’t refuse to call bills by their chosen name.
the other thing is you can just choose to not interact, like genuinely no one is forcing you to do anything here.
That's a first name, not a pronoun. Or you never use "you" when you talk to Bill? Bill does not use "I" when he needs to talk about himself?
The objective of this community is to identify whether mods are power tripping. Identifying them helps the platform as a whole, identifying potential trolls as well
i feel like you’re willfully misunderstanding me to some degree so i’ll just repeat the operative part of the comment that you ignored just now.
no one should have to reconcile their preferences for you to take them seriously.
i’m not trying to argue semantics. you clearly know what i meant with the name analogy, you’re just doubling down on not respecting a preference you don’t consider valid.
Then should we just stop using 1st person pronouns altogether? I guess that's the main issue here, even though the mod could be power tripping, most of the people here don't understand why OP doesn't just use "I", as it's the neutral, inclusive pronoun that everyone has been using in English to designate themselves for centuries.
Using the correct pronouns to refer to someone in 3rd person is important as English uses gender pronouns, and that should definitely be respected.
Confusing people using another pronoun instead of I and not even using 1st person forms "Drag is" rather than "Drag am" for no visible benefit, is what is the issue here.
Reminds me of this thread, where the OP was gendered as "goddess" and asked people to capitalize their pronouns https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14491263
are you kidding me? can you only think in absolutes? stop wasting both of our time.
if doing something purely for someone else’s benefit is really such a foreign concept to you then i can offer you nothing except my sympathy.
