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.

Why didn't you ask this in .world?
Not my comment. I was just scrolling through the modlog because I got bored and was (unfortunately not suprised) by this questionable ML modding decision
Ah so it was just a typical ".ml bad hurr durr" post. Sorry, I thought it was something important.
Maybe ".ml bad" posts are typical for a reason.
Yeah. It's called tribalism.
Is that the only possibility though? Is there maybe a chance that .ml is bad?
Yeah. It's tribalism.
Oh, I see. It is tribalism. On your part.
Yeah bro that's what I'm saying. Are your thick? It's tribalism.
Yes, I'm thick. But I don't understand what my physical size has to do with me not understanding that you have a problem with ".ml bad" posts because you have a tribal mindset and don't see nuance. You weren't very clear initially. We are on the same page now, yes?
It's tribalism bro. It's not that hard a concept to grasp. Lol
You persist in being unclear. Please answer the following question with either "yes" or "no".
Do you have a problem with ".ml bad" posts because you lack the ability to see nuance and only see teams?
Edit: spelling.
I don't pack anything bro. What are you even talking about? We aren't talking about packing lol
It's fixed now, go ahead and be genuine.
Sure: It's tribalism bro.
That's not a yes or a no, meaning you either do not have the capacity to understand what I wrote, or you think you're "trolling" me. Do you have no respect for your own time? Don't bother answering I know you don't. It's Tribalism bro.
I'm glad you finally got it! Wasn't that hard, see?
Well to me it’s important that the main lemmy dev blantantly removes anything questioning Russia’s imperialist war in Ukraine but suit yourself.
I mean what implications would it have for Lemmy if their main dev became affiliated with possibly sanctioned Russian companies, probably wouldn't mean good things for Lemmy as a project and since Sublinks is nowhere near there yet that could mean big problems for the Forums side of the Fediverse.
There is also both Mbin and PieFed that are fairly developed.
The problem is being able to migrate existing instances to those, not just having other software available. Current instances can't easily move over at the drop of a hat, for many it would straight up kill them to have to start from scratch. And as far as I'm aware Lemmy Database isn't compatible with either so they'd have to start from scratch on the new software.
Thank you for the explanation.
Although there are existing instances of Mbin and PieFed that I would guess would not have that problem, bc they already have posts in their own respective formats? And any new Lemmy instance I thought would have the same issues - as in even if an older post would federate, the comments and votes that happened prior to that action would not (if I'm reading https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1907501 correctly), plus even existing ones like aussie.zone seem like they can lose content if the backlog of bulk sending of actions does not get cleared within 7 days time.
Still, it's an excellent point about existing instances already running Lemmy not wanting to switch to Mbin or PieFed, but that could perhaps switch to Sublinks.
Though individual users could move, and still keep posting to the same communities as they had been.
Once a Piefed instance is mature enough, I could consider asking a few communities I mod if they would be okay to migrate to it.
!casualconversation@lemm.ee for instance doesn't really need to be able to edit past posts, and we already moved from LW to lemm.ee. Moving again to another instance wouldn't be that different.
