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.
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.

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
