Why aren't you just blocking Hilarious Chaos?
I haven’t posted there in about three months.
Exactly. If someone doesn't like a poster/community/instance, just block and move on. I don't even understand why someone would post or keep in touch with a community they totally disagree with.
They won't change the main poster's minds, and people who hate the community already agree with them. So what is the point?
BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction. Seems it was posted to a conservative community just to provoke reaction. (Edited comment to remove pointing to OP because OP wasn't the poster of the comment that got removed.)
Apparently this made @catloaf@lemm.ee mad enough to downvote this whole post.
catloaf downvotes almost everything.
You're not wrong.
This is interesting, how do you see these?
This seems off-topic. Not sure why you felt the need to post a user's downvote count when they aren't involved in your OP complaint, and they aren't a mod for the sub you're complaining about. As far as I can tell, they have nothing to do with your original complaint?
I agree, that's a dick move, and off topic.
The clown struggles with reality again. I've found it's not even worth my time engaging with him.
Were you the one who called them a clown and got the comments removed cause you hurt their feelings?
Sure was lol. It's his name afterall!
I know.
It's like if they got butthurt if you called them Chuckles.
Yeah, sorry mate, but this is BPR.
You went trolling and got a bite.
I actually wasn't involved in that conversation I just found it to be an abuse of Chuckle's power.
Ye Power Trippin' Bastards
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.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.

- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.
