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 think it might've actually been worse than that, what they were saying to me, and the fact that they told me HRT + surgery is required could be considered a form of transmedicalist abuse. It really sucks that there are people like this, I wish people could just be nice and accept others for how they are. Just because I like certain dresses in a game or even that I enjoy wearing skirts and thigh highs in real life doesn't make me a trans girl.
Yeah they're a vocal minority, and generally I don't listen to them but I've noticed them being active lately. And yeah they are just reinforcing the acceptability of using slurs and insults without consequence. Also I would argue they are devaluing the merit of calling out transphobia, because they say people are "transphobic cissies" for not agreeing or disagreeing on something they said, even if the person they said it to was literally a trans woman herself. So yeah a lot of them are super vocal trolls.
I agree with this, I mean I will try very hard to make people feel respected and recognized but there is a point where it becomes too much and they're pushing it too far.
I agree with this, it is very important to have a set of pronouns that are considered default and messing with these messes up language very badly. Especially when trying to replace established first-person and second person pronouns like what dragonfucker is doing.
They have indeed rejected gender neutral pronouns:
Maybe it wasn't extreme rejection or outright hostile but they have claimed they don't accept them to a certain degree.
I'm almost certain this is absolutely the motive, it was certainly the motive for DroneRights and it's very likely dragonfucker's motive. Though they seem to be trying to be more quiet and respectful about it. Probably hoping they wouldn't get banned if they weren't outwardly aggressive yet that clearly hasn't worked out because mods who see their behavior for what it is aren't tolerating it and honestly I don't blame them, I'd do the same thing if I saw a situation like that developing in one of my communities, it's just not worth it.
I would agree, we generally refers to all members of the group, it doesn't feel like it has or would have any deep gendered connotations. It's just a way of saying all the people (or creatures) in this group ("this group" being ambiguous).
