I'm leaving this up because you did get affected by a mod action, but please try to follow the posting guidelines next time without trying to start drama about unrelated topics.

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.
YPTB 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.

MODERATORS
banned me from all the communities they control. None of which I’ve ever posted in or care about.
Then y u mad?
Oh cool, ill just block OP
Says the guy who is one of the more extremist posters on Lemmy. Nah, I'm not buying what you're selling guy. There's a reason you are banned from all of my communities as well.
Mindbleach, you legit said i shouldn't be surprised if someone suddenly showed up outside my window to take pics of me... all because u were mad that I voted third party. You were part of the whole witchhunt to dox me and try to find out where I lived back in the days before the last presidential election. You and your little group were posting charts and times of my postings, trying to narrow down what timezone I lived in. Remember? (Yeah, I reported it)
Just because you didn't like that I voted Socialist and didn't worship your precious Duopoly. The fuck?!
So nah, get out of here with your nonsense.
Thanks, friend! :)
that reminds me, I forgot to ban you as well 🤣
EDIT: oh wait, turns out I had already banned you because you said AI generated pedophilia wasn't CSAM. I forgot that was you, you're just a shitty person all over, aren't you?
You know very well the main issue is lemmy.world mods allowing zionists propaganda to spread rsther than banning that specific user
Please try to follow the posting guidelines. Is this about you being banned as an anti AI troll by Mystic or is about the LW drama? Because at the moment this just looks like a troll post to me.
it doesn't really matter how bad you think the group in question is
It kinda does though. If you are killing children, stealing homes, bombing hospitals, destroying energy infrastructure or support the above then I don't want you around.
We're not talking about segregating based on immutable characteristics here, we're talking about a group who's identity is based in violence, abuse, and murder (not Jews, but Zionists--they are different).
A zionist in america not involved in the genocidal actions you mentionned do not deserve to die. Those involved is valid since they are terrorists
Advocating for genocide is a pretty terrible take. Would you recommend reeducation camps for them instead?
Were the Nuremberg trials genocide?
Yes it is pretty terrible but not to the point of killing them. Those advocating for genocide and not directly participating in it should be either jailed or fined. Those who are stealing Palestinians land and attacking Palestinians are valid target
I posit that stopping them from doing violence would be cultural genocide against Zionists.
Edit: I replied to the wrong comment
Okay great, but when that means "I wish someone would murder the admins of other instances," those instances will respond in predictable ways, regardless of how good your reasons are.
For the murder fantasies.
It's not a matter of who.
Agitating for justice against actual murderers, like Israeli Zionists, is not a case of one thing as as bad as the other, dingus.
And yet, when you call for murder, the people you're calling to murder will have entirely unsurprising responses. When those people are in charge of websites, you don't get to be on those websites anymore. Regardless of your moral righteousness, you have to temper your calls to action, if you want to avoid that blindingly obvious result.
Yes, and the single user who used that word did in fact temper their phrasing.
Maybe if an instance is modded by inhuman rape-and-genocide monsters it shouldn't be federated? I feel like that's reasonable. Its not as if there's any benefit to dialogue with them.
... then what was the problem with them defederating from Anarchist Nexus? Congratulations, they did the thing for you.
I am in fact in favor of more complete defederation from them
Yeah, there's a ton of terminally online people here who think that putting "murder all zionists" in their username is some sort of ultimate activism that saves lives rather than 'morally-justified' psychotic LARP on a social media barely anyone uses when you step outside the ideology for a moment. If what you say is true (screenshots would be nice), then yeah it's obviously power tripping.
it's absolutely true, I also just banned them for being against killing zionists/nazis.
EDIT: turns out I forgot I had already banned them for arguing AI-generated pedophilia wasn't CSAM: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/23163074
You would rather have us do totally unjustifiable immoral psychotic larp?
It's an event that exposed all the idealogues for what they really are.

?page=75
using the .world modlog as it lets you filter by mod. seventy five pages of bans from shit slop comms nobody ever visits. can it even be counted as power tripping if the power exerted is barely perceptible?
If they are so "shit" and "nobody ever visits," then no reason for people to be upset about being banned from them. Right?
right, that was the point, may not have been clear enough. OP noticed theirs but the other approx 1.5k bans issued by the same mod are unlikely to have been noticed or cared about. dbzer0 has 1.4k users a month on the front page stats: i just banned you all from my house. take that suckers. is it really power tripping if it never affected you anyway?
Yes, thank you for the clarification. I get ya now!
Or those are noise to occult the channel.
