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.
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.

The one who believe in a one state solution is the one who spread hatred and you who are justifying an supremacist and settler colonialist ideology is not . You are really a big idiot . My arguments are valid otherwise you would addressed them directly but you keep deflecting
I use the term Zionists because they are Zionists based on Herzl definition, i use the word colonizer because Israel is colonizing the west bank and occupying Gaza .
Palestinians are resisting a 58 goodman year of occupation yet you blame them rather than Israel the occupier who is committing genocide and you have the audacity to say that i don't care about the Palestinians
It is Israel who ethnically cleansing Palestinians to begin which and made sure that they would not return so no it was Israel who killed the right to return .It is Israel who killed the two state solution by occupying the west bank and Gaza in 67, it is Israel who killed the two state solution by never ending the settlements expansion . There is no Palestinians state because the whole world ignored Israel settler colonialism fir 7 decades
You shamelessly compare Palestinians to Germans when it is Israel who is acting like Nazi Germany, it is Netanyahu who is acting like Hitler. The cycle of hatred was started by Israel and will end by Israel abandoning their supremacist ideology and their intention to exterminate the Palestinians
You also have the audacity to call me an antisemite, should i remind you that Zionists killed many jews during their terrorists attacks before the creation of Israel. Should i remind you that some holocaust survivors is calling what happen in Gaza a genocide?
I am not an antisemite but you are a genocide and settler colonialism apologist
Zionism the creation of a Jewish majority state on a land already inhabited. Zionists are those who are justifying the forcing of a state on the local population also known as the Palestinians in 48. I do not call for ethnic cleansing of anybody unlike Zionist
This the terrible lie you pro settler colonialism and genocide supporters use. Your disgusting and irresponsible accusations of anybody against a supremacist and political ideology of being antisemite only hurt innocent jews and also advocating for the loss of jobs of many anti genocide and occupation people
It's your side that is acting like the mustaches guy. You shamelessly still comparing Palestinians and people believing in their freedom to be Hitler like while it is Israel who is acting like Nazi Germany
The Palestinian authority respected the term of the Oslo accords and Israel is the one who ignored it by building illegal settlements, arming the settlers to attack west bankers then protect them . So they could lead temporarily Palestine till Israel end occupation then an election should be done
The British alone are responsible of between 50 and 100 millions death in India alone. Iran colonialism is definitely not worse than European colonialism . Israel atrocities over 77 years of oppression is definitely worse than any atrocity Hamas did yet you are associating more responsibility to the oppressed over the oppressor
Again i support a one democratic state with equal rights for everybody. I do not support any colonialism. It's you who do
Iranian colonialism didn't kill ten thousands of people. 83% of the killed in Gaza are civilians
You keep accusing me of spreading hatred when it's only you who does while acting like you care about the innocent civilians.
You should go to reddit, your propaganda won't works on lemmy
Stop being disingenuous. I told you a million time I don't talk about current Israelis or the jews who was living in Palestine before the Zionist movement. I should remind you that there is 2 millions non jews in Israel so why do you keep talking about jews in general when we are talking about Israel as a state occupying another and Zionism as a political movement
I told you a million time that no Israeli should be displaced yet you keep lying about me advocating for ethnic cleansing , i never did and never will
Again you keep accusing me of thing I never say. Hamas committed war crimes everybody know about it now let's back to the topic Israel is the occupier who committed Hamas like atrocities for 77 years
Germany was the oppressor, Israel is the oppressor. Nazis committed a genocide, Israel is committing a genocide. So the real comparison is between Israel and Nazi Germany. Unlike you who justify the genocide, i will never do it
I want the hostages freed , Israel doesn't . Israeli themselves say it not me , not anti occupation people . I was Hamas brought to the justice but I also want Israel to be brough in justice
If you really wanted peace you would not justify genocide, you would ask Israel to end occupation so the cycle of hatred end
Israel is committing the murder which you are fine with it. Me , everything i write show that i do not support any murder
Again i don't support a single jews to be displaced , you are the one who is supporting the occupier committing a ethnic cleansing and genocide . I am also a semite.
If you think opposing Zionism is antisemite then you are accusing many jews of being antisemite . If you was alive during Nat Turner revolt you would have argued that slaves should stop hating their owners . If you was alive during Nana Sahib revolt you would have argued that Indians should stop hating their occupiers and you would have justified the British empire massacres. If you was alive during Pontiac's Rebellion you would have argued that indigenous people of America should have stop hating their occupier and justify the massacres in response of those revolt
