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.

Yeah and the swastika comes from Sanskrit but now that the Nazis attached themselves to it there is another meaning.
It’s wild how dog whistles sound loud when you listen for them.
This might come as a surprise to you, but Palestinians are Arab. Palestine is fighting a war of national liberation, they aren't a cabal of anti-semetic Nazis.
Wait wait wait you mean the Semitic people aren’t anti semitic?
This is huge news!
That said I’m saying you are overtly anti-Semitic.
Being anti-zionist isn't being anti-semitic.
We agree on something, but from my perspective you’ve well crossed the line on a number of occasions.
Anyways, I hope you live the life you deserve.
I support the right of Palestinian resistance, and have attacked antisemites on numerous occasions trying to use pro-Palestinian movements to further their agenda.
There's no evidence for systemic rape by Palestinian resistance. This is hasbara.
There is footage
There is no footage that proves a systemic rape by Hamas. That is a proven lie
That's not to say Hamas hasn't raped people. This isn't condoning Hamas. But to imply that hamas is more guilty of rape or that it is part of their overall strategy is stupid and Israeli propaganda.
If I found evident that a Jewish person raped a Nazi, would that invalidate every Jewish person that fought back?
There is though, there's footage and confirmation from the UN.
There being evidence of single isolated instances of rape does not equal to "Palestinian resitance is rape". Saying that is only spreading the Israeli propaganda.
And Goat wonders why people call them a Zionist.

There is no crime in Ba Sing Se, gotta i love seeing that crazy shit from ya'll!
Nobody provided any evidence for systemic rape by Palestinian resistance. Goat is deliberately trying to reduce the Palestinian resistance to a gang of rapists in order to justify Israel's genocide as being against people that "deserve it."
Was that the claim or was that you moving the goal post, acting like they're aren't rapes, frankly we have plenty of evidence of both idf and hamas raping people, but you have a mantra you are saying, don't let me interrupt you.
It's that mantra state sponsored? Like despite your tail of other weirdos, when not unhinged apologists see you say unhinged shit, it makes your arguments look crazy. I mean Jesus you have to ad hominem this goat guy, cause no one who has an opinion against you consistently can be anything but a random adjective. You whine when people do that to you.
Don't you have some more hyms to repeat while you put your fingers in your ears?
That was the claim, yes, goat was equating Palestinian resistance to rape. Isolated cases of rape are awful, but it isn't pushed systemically. What goat is trying to do is justify the Zionist position that Palestinians "deserve it" because the resistance is "bad."
I never said it was a "Zionist plot." I said I support the resistance, and goat said that "rape isn't resistance," pretty clearly doing so to equate the national liberation movements in Palestine with rape. It capes for Israel.
What on Earth are you talking about? How am I a hypocrite?
No?
Absolutely reduced to making animal sounds, fascinating.
It was inevitable after moving the goalpost as a basis for an ad hominem argument in bad faith while projecting their own behavior onto cowbee... 🤷
