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.

and yet my money is on you not learning the lesson.
The lesson being that beehaw is apparently a kindergarten.
That is indeed what beehaw is! lmao
Yes, positive vibes only.
Or you get the gat.
Ah, American kindergarten
Kinda... Yes. They are an instance meant to be a somewhat walled garden. You can't make new communities on beehaw, only use the ones they have. They set it up in a very unique way and that's why I vibe with it even though I don't agree with it.
Despite people obviously having hostility toward you for holding this sentiment I agree with you. Beehaw has some very extreme views, and while I admire them for their spirit of moderating against hate speech they do take things way too far. One example is deciding to defederate Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works simply to stick it to them, a move which ended up not really working in their favor since they just lost out in those communities, and many of their users (who didn't feel the same extreme way they do) just left.
And they even talk about the Fediverse being non-viable when they went into voluntary exile by their own choice.
So honestly I would generally recommend people stay away from Beehaw, it's just not worth giving them the attention, and one can already find many alternatives to the communities they have there on other instances. Which I can guarantee will be less extreme and childish over matters such as these.
Fucking great points! Good post!
Thank you very much.
I intend on turning their "their server their rules" comments back on them next time they get banned on lemmy.ml.
Good idea. People are always so eager to stick up for servers with that dumb excuse turning it against them is only fitting. It's such a hypocritical excuse as well because under that logic this community is invalid.
I don't think what Beehaw did quite gets there, but just because it's on character for them doesn't mean it's good or normal. It's still extreme and they should best be avoided because of it.
