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.

If this is about Charlie Kirk, Kirk was not a journalist. He was a racist piece of shit propagandist who spread hatespeech and neo-nazi ideas. Yeah I think calling Charlie Kirk a journalist is nazi apologia because you were deliberately muddying who Charlie Kirk was. A hatespeech propagandist who frequently parroted neo-nazi talking points. And you know what they say, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck its probably safe to assume its a duck.
Was about a literal nazi propagandist from nazi germany. We did indeed interpret Satans comments as muddying the waters
Cool, so even worse than what I was assuming lmao.
Great, and the next time the right is in power they'll remember this and categorize everybody on the left as not-a-journalist but rather a propagandist working on behalf of foreign powers to undermine America by evangelizing a bankrupt ideology that destroys societies. I'm so excited for the future, you guys.
They already do that. Your worst case scenario is their starting point.
We're talking - specifically- about the right in the US. The bug fuck batshit insane racist sexist homophobic fascist party of grifters and thieves who are literally causing harm and death right now. Don't try and devil's advocate them
They already did, and the Zionists who they aspire to regularly target enemy journalists. The damage demonizing protestors and funding police has already been fucking done. Your liberal virtue signalling will not save lives. Killing Nazis just might.
Quick question. But first, lets recap:
Don't you think this is already the plan?
I think its the plan, I just think it hasn't been fully put into effect yet.
OK. Point me to some actual journalism from Kirk.
Edit: still waiting...
Dude we are already there. They did not and do not need an excuse. Look at the way they talk about the No Kings protests, despite the protesters doing everything to show they are non-violent and are not anti-american. They are deploying the military to crush them and painting them as "paid antifa protesters."
It's worth considering that this could happen anyways.
It's not like putin came to power after a period of rule by the opposition (Yeltsin set him up as president).
This is not about Charlie Kirk but he should not have been shot (not hung either).
No, he should have been eaten alive by something.
Yet more proof this isn't a just world.
I assumed it could be because someone else commented about it and as far as I saw you didnt add context for what it was about. Sorry for the assumption.
And to clarify, I do not think we should shoot or hang people like Charlie Kirk. However I do not feel bad for his death, and I did and do celebrate it. I will celebrate the deaths of people who wish harm for me and my friends and family, even if I do not think it is the most constructive or effective means for addressing the problems.
Edit: I am actually going to adjust my clarificarion. I have mixed feelings about whether killing Charlie Kirk was justified. Under normal conditions, no. However we do not live under normal conditions anymore, this is ramping up to a civil war and I think we need to realize in certain areas we will need to do unsavory and things we viewed as wrong in order to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and to ensure a safe, free, and tolerant society. Does that mean I think the killing of Charlie Kirk was the right decision (assuming hypothetically it was a leftist with good intentions, and not just a groyper trying to get a false flag)? I dont know. But I am happy he is dead.
I will end this with John Brown did nothing wrong (except the Pattowatomie Massacre).
