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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.

Got no post for this one. Literally no idea what he's even talking about. I also barely know who this guy is. I think I messaged him once in the past when I saw his name a bunch and I was being nice and diplomatic but otherwise? No idea who he is. The only time I've ever heard his name is by people saying stuff about him being an incredibly toxic and horrible human being on Lemmy. Which made it all the more hilarious to see this.

Come listen... let Stamets tell you a tale... the tale of a scared little poodle.

The only thing I've ever said about the dude recently was in the YePowerTrippingBastards matrix channel where I said that it's kind of hilarious that losers like him spend so much time getting angy and worked up over something to go after it again and again and again.

So lemme get the crayons and break it out for the false savior with breathing difficulties so severe he's going to choke on his own ego.

I make a post every now and again while occasionally pointing out the stupidity of others. You just seem to actively go after people over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. See... I've got a hobby. You've got an obsession and one that's eating away at you pretty bad by the look of it. Wanna go out for a frappe buddy? Need a hug big guy?

From where I'm sitting, this recording indicates a lot of effort and obsession put into something that lobs those exact two things in the form of an accusation. 8.5 minutes of repeating the same accusation in 27 different ways. "PugJesus is a loser obsessed with arguing." I mean that's exactly what you're doing here 100%: obsessively arguing and being petty. And then, funny enough, you imply most people wouldn't listen to a weird obsessively recorded message about them. Morbid curiosity if nothing else, don't even pretend you're immune to that.

The number of takes that must've involved... Is sad. Guessing you spent several hours on this even if you're a trained performer. And yes I realize I'm late to this post. I got curious about some of the users defending you after you got really worked up with me over a small correction I attempted to make to one of your comments.

The reason stated for him banning you, hypocrisy, is valid. If PJ had recorded and posted this shit, you'd be giddy to present it as proof that he's an obsessed loser.

Ps. I once argued with PugJesus about something and it left a bad taste in my mouth for sure, just because he seemed both very rigidly self righteous but he also seemed an overall a decent human and btw, he didn't ban me or get petty like you claim he always does. Honestly, showing human decency is too rare in fediverse arguments, so at least I have to give him that. Take for example my exchange with Stamets. He was pretty fucking rude off the bat in an uncalled for way and then tried to publicly shame me for my modlog.

I think if anything your conflict with PJ is that actually he's a lot like you except he tends not to go so nuclear as you do.
