Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1634 readers
206 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.

To the mods of this comm, I understand this isn't a post complaining about a mod action taken against me. It's hardly even a complaint against a mod, although he does mod a handful of communities. I know it's a hard-to-prove personal message that the accused will deny sending or say was a joke he told a troll, his word vs mine. But this is beyond the usual actions mods take. This is abuse of the fediverse, harrassment, ban evasion, and vote manipulation.

I believe the situation to be self evident even without this message that the users who frequent DonaldJMusk's comms are primarily him with a new username on a new server and they're leaking out into other communities with ill intent.

If action is to be taken against this post, I ask that it be locked and not deleted.

And the OP is mad at the admin showing it's not UM and not breaking any rules either. Now they wanna leave Lemmy.

And the admin also called out OP for likely being the one to having alt names, because OP's account is only a few hours old and the comments in this thread are the only comments he has made. I've never even interacted with OP and he's not banned from any of my communties, so I'm not even sure how my name came up anyway! lol

Honestly might be an alt of someone who hates you, projection is their entire thing of such people.

This is a big kicker for me. I have an identical name on a separate instance only for when .today gets attacked. This isn't that fucking serious! Who goes out of their way to manipulate votes? Like I treat the numbers as feedback as compared to an indictment.

I oddly got accused of it by some taco butt plug braincel, but found the entire idea laughable. Which much like relationship cheaters, makes me think they were actually doing it and projecting.

These numbers aren't real or important, why do some people take them so seriously?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm baffled at how many people seem to take this all seriously. I ain't got time or the brain cells to switch between 300 accounts, alt usernames, instances, etc. Just cuss me out here. Not only that, these people they are accusing of me being, don't even post the same shit I do, so why would I create alternate names just to post stuff that opposed my views?

So wait, am I every socialist on here now? Or every anarchist? Or every republican? Or every democrat? Or every libertarian? Do people not realize that those are not the same things? Am I all of those now?!

Isn't "astroturfing" supposed to mean having the same message? All the names they are listing post all kinds of different shit. So what would the point?

I have actually chuckled outloud by some of the comments here. People really need to go outside more. lol

Someone just linked me my mod file, and I apparently pissed off someone very active here cause I am perma banned from so many communities I never interact with.

It seems like this is early adoption, but current Reddit.

They flagged me for serial down voting, but votes are public and I very rarely down vote anyone.

If I gave enough of a shit I'd investigate & make a post here, but I got better things to do with my time. Other than today, cause I did babysit a popular post I made this morning for a few hours
