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:
- 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.
Relevant comms
YDI. You're not actually criticising from "both sides." You're attacking "woke" while praising some shitty gamers.
You're criticizing from the right because you're a reactionary right-winger (aka """libertarian"""). Reasonable people don't want to hear any more of that trash. It's already shoved down our throats from the capitalist media.
YDI. Be normal.
same cancel culture energy as the woke crowd jumping on games with sexy beautiful women
Yeah, that's not a thing.
Rule 2 also calls on civility, which I think is important here, because your comment (in context) comes off as a troll looking to start something.
I probably would have removed it too, but would have explained why it was inappropriate (in several ways).
YDI.
This was my mod action. Rule 2 is also about hard-line stances. This is the first time I've ever moderated for that reason, but it fit.
I question your reading of that rule:
No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
It seemed civil enough.
It seemed civil enough.
It read like ragebait to me.
Further reading of OPs comments showcase a hatred of "the left", including assigning "the left" to right wing religious groups.
It read like ragebait to me.
Maybe your trigger is sensitive: in objective, dispassionate terms, can you articulate or point out the incivility: the harassment, bigotry, abusive language, antipathy?
Further reading of OPs comments
I guess I don't go reading through user histories looking to evaluate users. I evaluate the comment in front of me.
hatred of “the left”
Even the left "hates the left": we're a disagreeable bunch. Seems your judgement is based on bias. Unless you can define troll, I could imagine anything you object to qualifying: I partly left reddit to get away from such moderation lacking integrity.
So do you think the OP here, using ablesism, insulting everyone who disagrees with them, and being blatantly incorrect about things easily proven wrong, was being kind?
If that's being nice and civil, then I hate to see what you consider rude.
Maybe your trigger is sensitive
With zero reason to do so, they brought up a hardline stance against "the left" in a thread about racists and a game about Africans.
Harassment, bigotry, and abusive language don't come into play.
I guess I don't go reading through user histories looking to evaluate users. I evaluate the comment in front of me.
I evaluate context. A well meaning user can often be misinterpreted. I generally don't act on any community I mod without evaluating context for the comment as well. It could be poor phrasing due to English being a second language or a variety of other issues.
Context is always important.
Even the left "hates the left": we're a disagreeable bunch. Seems your judgement is based on bias. Unless you can define troll, I could imagine anything you object to qualifying: I partly left reddit to get away from such moderation lacking integrity.
It seems youre trying to decide how I evaluate things for me, as well as then trying to paint me (not the mod in this case) as lacking integrity.
I'm not interested.
For the record, I would consider that sort of commentary in line with ragebait, as you have phrased things in a way to get a rise out of someone. Alone, not worthy of removal, but perhaps a comment to point out the antagonistic nature of your comment does not lend itself to constructive discussion.
Edit: Wrong part of paste cut out on the first section.
While I think that community is quite quick to delete stuff, I also think you intentionally write like an attention seeking troll. Totally deserved.
