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.
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 had to trim my screenshots due to being a mod elsewhere, so I can see mod names. I think the screenshot of the interaction really sums this one up. I initially commented after a brief skim of the article, basically enough time to figure out that it wasn't spewing great replacement bullshit, and then gave a little reminder that ecofascism is real and uses language such as "humans are parasites".

OP responded with a suspicious comment, and another comment pointed out the author's true intent, so I went looking deeper. At the very last part of the article, like 3rd to last sentence in the last paragraph, the author calls for a "non-coerceive" means to kill 70% of the human race. I called it out, and was banned.

I was about to post the link. Now we can see the actual discussion. Was a ban needed, probably not from what's shown here. Don't know if OP took it to DM and escalated it. I notice a possible brigading of downvotes though... interesting.

Nevertheless, the point of overshoot stands, and it will have an effect on population numbers. Like I said, it already is, look at conditions in third world nations thanks to the modern world's progression. But that's really not the discussion here, or rather, what it should be about. It's simply was the argument about the word ecofascist and is that ban-worthy, and was it FOR that? I guess it was, since that's all we have to work with.

See and now you are in here spouting the same lies that overshoot is inevitable as the divine right of kings. Its not. We can reduce consumption without genocide. Fucking hell, the urge to go directly to murdering people. There are no third world nations thats cold war alignment bullshit. There are vulnerable people to climate change, and from what I can see, systems that haven't fully collapsed yet. Kill your gods and your masters, theres still time to save the Earth before they murder us all.

I covered all that in the other reply, this isn't the place. You're not wrong that we can make efforts. I think it's too late to fully turn it around, but something is better than nothing. Be nice if we started.

Would you prefer non-westernized countries, developing nations, what? I just used a common phrasing, and it was clear who I meant. The ones who complained at the IPCC and got shrugs.

But this is for unfair bans, which no one has even talked about lol. I think it seems heavy just from the actual posts. I suspect there's more to it, as there always is from one-sided arguments.
