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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.

So, you didn't understand the context of the joke at all, but just posted it anyway because it had the words "Harris" and "Cheney" in it? Or what happened that made you decide to post that, not knowing who Jill Stein is?
Y'all are barking up the wrong tree. Might I remind you this is the most winnable election in history. Harris sabotaged her own campaign because of her own bloodlust. She promised “the most lethal military.” Go get mad at her if you need someone to get mad at. I frankly don't care for these third party losers, half of them tankies, the other half TERFs. They won't make Harris lose. Harris herself digs her own grave and yours. She could win this by just opposing Israel, but she won't, and you're angry at me? Yet you're angry at people with principles? I will not blame people for not voting for more Palestinian death.
What a calm and reasonable explanation for why you said you have no idea who Jill Stein is and posted a Jill Stein meme a couple days ago.
And I’m not angry at you for “principles.” I was annoyed that you banned me because I was speaking against turbo-genocide, and now I’m intrigued that you might have fucked up your ruse and might actually be the glowie that I started suspecting you of being, starting today.
I don't care about this Jill person, but I won't hold it against people for not choosing more Palestinian death. You know, you don't need to conduct ideological cover for genocide. You can just vote and not be an apologist. You continue to make the choice to lie about Harris' program. Will you gladly and willfully walk over thousands of Palestinian corpses to cast your vote for the one who is killing them? Yes, you will. And you'll provide ideological cover too.
I really don't want to continue this. Ironically enough, it's badly offtopic for this community. You felt incredibly strongly about needing to defend your space against people coming in and broadsiding their political opinions into it, and now you're doing the same, in a lot more obnoxious fashion.
