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.

It's a photograph of a PETA protest posted to vegancirclejerk which endorses this sort of protest.
The image specifically has the text "vegan" in it, and the dog is a prop.
Given this instance endorses animal abuse for the purpose of food, what are the grounds for the ban? The vcj admin can remove the post if they feel it goes against the community (it doesn't), people post bodyparts of animals to this instance all the time.
If footage of vegan protests is against the rules, that should be made explicit.
I understand why you posted it, and I understand why they banned it. That said, I personally don't I agree with this admin action since this was clearly a prop and nothing more gruesome than animals on a skewer than one sees constantly in various countries during bbq days, I think this kind of moderation should be left to those community mods which are better suited to know if it fits their community. That said, I can also understand why that mod felt that this sort of gore was too much.
I think this was an BPR overreach. I'll have to have a talk between admins and our community to see if this sort of thing is how we should handle it. Thanks for bringing it up.
Once again you come down on the side of facts with admins behaving as reactionaries over veganism.
I'm not sure this is reaction against veganism, rather than a kneejerk reaction to gore or otherwise bad taste posts. Let's not be uncharitable here. I'll try to get this sorted with a community mandate.
I understand Naeva’s feelings because she was censored before by Lemmy World admins however you’re doing a good job sorting out the situation.
