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.

You need multiple accounts to work around instance defederation.
On centralized platforms banning multiple accounts make sense if one account was banned, but on the fediverse it makes zero sense.
Indeed, I don't get the reasoning, except if the previous account was banned
Also in the early days content federation was very poor (it still is sometimes) and multiple accounts were a necessity because if the instance federation was broken or someone wasn't subscribed to that community on your end it just didn't exist, was inaccessible, or was completely empty. So it makes sense to have multiple accounts.
Also instances do die. Many of the instances that started up when Lemmy first became popular aren't around anymore. Big players still are but the really small no-name ones like (i.e Lemmy.ninja, unilem.org, etc.) don't exist anymore. Having multiple accounts safeguards against that by having redundant ones that will still be there when and if the others disappear.
