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.
- Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
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.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.
- 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.

I'm gonna cut through your bs and just say you need to accept that there's racist, bigots, contrarians, and transphobes out there.
If you want to change the world then you're gonna have to do hard work and explain what being transgender and the trans community is to actual transphobes and you'll have to do it without telling jk Rowling to suck on a shotgun
Who gets offended at the term "normal people" did we persecute people for being normal or something?
Have you considered that you might be a structural bigot and net negative force on the world?
You shouldn't. You're not. You're great. Its the damn tr... People confused about their genders who are wrong. How dare they be so rude to you, a guest in their space! As if they have no concept of Hospitality!
in marginalized spaces we work to recognize that "normal" is only perceived as "normal" because of an established hegemony of violence. you perceive yourself as normal because of your privelege. we ask you, in our spaces, to leave that at the door. that you perceive this as persecution is telling. i'm starting to think this was never about you being uncomfortable with encouraging self harm and suicide, but instead the surrounding ways that you engage with minority issues.
you may not percieve yourself to be a bigot, and maybe you aren't, but not being a bigot isn't the bar you need to clear to be welcomed by marginalized people. you need to be an active anti-bigot. comments like what i quoted above are indicative that you are not quite there yet.
Like in 100% of cases? What if I call slave a normal person did they use violence or hedegomony to get me to call them that or did I respect slave as a human being
