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 respect and support Ada's decision to ban that person from the instance over a meme that conflates Palestinians with Hamas, and I respect and support her decision to ban that community from the instance over the mod's apologia of that type of content. It might seem like a downside for people who are on that instance but in all honesty most of the users and communities they ban there are better off not interacting with. Keep in mind that blahaj.zone is meant to be a safe-space instance for LGBTQ and marginalized groups, maybe not to the extreme and isolationist degree beehaw is but they still aspire to be a safe-space, and that means content from bad actors and malicious people will and should be banned and filtered out.

Honestly, I was against the ban of the whole community until Nuke doubled down and the other mods rallied around him. Now I'm much more sympathetic towards Ada's position.
