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.

Weird your comment is much much longer and doesn't say that at all. I guess you have to keep lying to keep the Zionism alive.
Zionists trying to tone police the movement like you should be perma'd.
It literally says that exact phrase, word for word. Who do you expect to fool with such a flimsy lie? People too lazy to click the link?
As someone who completely and unequivocally condemns Zionism, I agree completely.
We should also be permabanning edgelords like yourself who criticize antizionists for not being sufficiently racist, and who think that not being racist is the same thing as being a Zionist.
This is what your concern troll comment says. Thank you for proving my point and keeping lying.
You will take my position in a year and then pretend to have always been on the right side like a true Platnerite.
You're really doubling down on this blatant lie?
I'll be dead in the ground before I take your position, racist, lying scum.
Wow you highlighted an entirely different part of the comment great job. You sure proved your point by confirming you lied.
Even fencesitter tier leftists like Noah Samsen have already voiced my position. https://youtu.be/b0Ot0me5ocQ
You are going to voice it whenever the celebrity you worship starts doing. Who is it, Hasan Piker?
I show you direct evidence that I said what I claimed I said, and you're still lying? I don't know that I've ever seen someone lying so blatantly.
I really, really need you to understand that not everyone is like you where they're obsessed with some random idiot on Youtube or Twitch and blindly follow whatever the fuck they say. Some of us read books which are also known as theory. And think critically about those books even! You should try it sometime!
Maybe V.I. Lenin is just poaching Bad Empanada's ideas and in a couple years he'll wake up, punch through the glass Simpsons' style, and say "Actually, we should be hating the Jewish race instead of the state of Israel." At which point I would realize that I've misjudged him terribly and reevaluate everything I've read of his.
Your understanding of reading was "All Palestians believe in the Elders of Zion"
Don't pretend. You just have a bookcase full of stuff you never read past the introduction.
First you lie and say that I didn't say what I said, now you've moved on to lying by just making shit up whole cloth, completely unrelated to anything I've ever said.
Unbelievable. Your brain is rotted through so far that you can't even conceive of someone who's brain isn't rotted through the same way.
