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.

Talmud says you can lie to acquit a jew aganist a non-jew (baba kamma 113a)
Then you see conviction rate of palestinians vs israelis in occupied palestine. But if you connect the two, you are anti-semitic.
When a palestinian is murdered, their murderers say they are jewish, but if the palestinian being murdered were to condemn jews, they would be called anti-semitic.
Sure there are peaceful, non-zionist jews like natura karta. But vast majority jews do support israeli actions.
If mosques in Europe and USA invited leaders of alqaeda or ISIS, and praised them, nobody would hesitate in condemning muslims.
Until synagogues start condemning Israeli state like mosques condemn ISIS and alqaeda, judaism is zionism. Anyone who think otherwise is just a hypocrite.
Irrelevant. The percentage of Jews who are Zionists does not matter, unless it's 100%. It is still more accurate to target criticism at Zionists, a category that includes the entire problem and only the problem, than at Jews, only some of whom are part of the problem, and who don't cover the entire problem. Objecting to the distinction between Jews and Zionists and calling it "Hasbara" is completely wrong.
Bullshit. I would absolutely not blame Muslims in general for the actions of some mosques. Just because there are lots of people who are racists doesn't mean we all are.
I don't think the Talmud is very relevant to this. What's far more relevant is that statistically
Even when Zohran Mamdani recently gave his "combating antisemitism" funding he gave it to Zionist orgs and basically said he wasn't able to find any non-Zionist Jewish organisations to give it to.
A distinction between Jews as individuals, and Zionism can be made. But Judaism as a religion (which is what the sign in the OOP is about) is absolutely wholly intertwined with Zionism to the point where the difference is so minimal that it's not important at all. It just distracts from the Palestinians getting genocided. As explained in articles such as "Jewish settlers stole my house. It’s not my fault they’re Jewish". or "The Hollowed Vocabulary: Jewish Voice for Peace and the Institutional Capture of Anti-Zionism"
Queue the Western brained libs coming to yell at me for saying what Palestinian authors are communicating themselves because they have never read or heard anything by a Palestinian.
