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.

Goat is a trash mod and really should be blocked by everybody so they can exist in their own lemmy echo chamber that they desire.
Very salty we called out their love of fascists on their community, and swears db0 is the evil group for proving it.
Apparently just being from db0 is now against the rules at MoG? TankieJerk thinks you're a fascist now too. I don't always agree with what you say but you're far from being a fascist. Huge yikes from the mods of both communities.
I hope this is the drama that gets people to realize you're a troll and a tankie sympathizer.
If you feel like have to hide your beleifs and abuse your small amount of power to forward those beliefs then your ideology isn't valid ffs
This drama mostly shows that goat doesn't apply their own principles
Tankies never venture into this community, despite this being a place where they can freely discuss their viewpoints.

How is it supposed to be possible when people get banned just for their instance as seen in the OP
Ironic that this is usually the type of blocking that is criticized on MoG
.ml actually has this comm instance-blocked LMAO
So you aknowledge them being a tankie sympathizer too
Obv tankies aren't welcome on the anti tankie community lol
You sure are also bending over backwards to defend people with fascist ideologies
So you aknowledge them being a tankie sympathizer too
I did not, I was pointing out the hypocrisy.
Obv tankies aren’t welcome on the anti tankie community lol
Then goat shouldn't pretend otherwise like in the comment above. Make it make sense.
I’ve posted on there before but that’s just dumb and petty. Guess I’ll unsub
That whole sub always seemed dumb and petty tbh
Well meanwhileongrad was fun while it lasted I guess lol. Tell me you're a much bigger PTB than even the accusations you got on YPTB, without telling me.
goat's done a couple of weird things that I have observed. I think the most notable was that they made PugJesus a mod, PJ said he didn't want to be a mod, they left him as a mod even with him repeatedly asking not to be, and then a little while later, they made a big public show of deciding he was a Zionist and announcing they were removing him as a mod. It always felt to me like there was more going on with that story.
Anyway yeah it sounds like he's a tool.
MoG had the bones to be great but that opportunity got squandered with excessive shilling.
We get it goat... you got anti tankie vendetta... jfc
Recently someone posted one of the .ml admins saying the BBC was not neutral, and the entire community went "no that's accurate, they were told to not publish stories about Israel, have manufactured stories on Jeremy Corbyn, and constantly try to both sides transgender issues."
And I'm amazed goat didn't just ban everyone there in that moment for questioning an idol of the neoliberal brainrot.
There's a lot of .ml and hexbear users who moved to db0 because they wanted people to have to see their shit opinions again.
I don't have a judgment on this one, two petty mods fighting
Which ones? We don't really like tankie members making accounts here. Part of the process of getting onto here is talking about anarchism.
The post that started this from PJ was about db0 tankies.
I don't care enough to ask PJ but they probably recoded the accounts that were causing problems.
No info then. Got it. Thanks for stirring up drama over nothing.
