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.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that YDI retroactively for posting such a low-resolution screenshot. -_-
But also y'all, isn't it kinda weird to downvote YDI posts? It's not like they don't belong in this community.
I guess it makes sense considering there was absolutely no abuse of power going on?
This is an "Am I the Asshole?" style community, though. When an asshole posts, you're not supposed to downvote them, because they're specifically being invited to post and receive criticism. Downvotes just bury their posts and defeat the purpose of the community.
Huh, this is the first time I'm looking at the sidebar and seeing that detail. From the name I always just assumed it was a sub to call out mods for abuse of power.
I keep telling people that
I upvoted.
I'm sorry I don't have a nicer laptop with a higher res screen so I can take bigger screenshots. Maybe I should dip into my savings and buy one instead of saving up to get bottom surgery. It's no one else's problem that I have a penis after all. That was sarcasm, I'm not doing that at all, get used to low-res screenshots because I'm not buying a better laptop unless this one dies or I have a vagina (probably won't for a while afterwards bc I'll be in debt).
Well now I'm immensely curious about the specs of your machine. A circa-2011 smartphone has more pixels than that in both directions.
Wait how small do you think the screenshot I took is, are you looking at the thumbnail as the full size? If you are then it makes sense for you to complain about my screen size but this screen is about 1080p (maybe not exactly) and the screenshot is only slightly cropped to remove excess junk from it like my window borders and the extra modlog entries, so if people complain about that I have the right to be at least a little bit snarky.
Ah, looks like it's some weirdness between lemmy and piefed. When viewing the post on lemmy, clicking the thumbnail shows the full-resolution image in the body, just scaled down by the browser. Clicking on that or doing right click->view image shows the original full-size image.
On piefed, there's an image preview in the body instead of a thumbnail, and a link to the full-resolution image. Clicking on the preview or doing view image normally shows the whole thing, but on this post it gets you this image, which is larger than the lemmy thumbnail but smaller than the full-resolution image.
Ok, that's good, I thought you were one of those resolution snobs complaining that my screen isn't one of those fancy 4K laptop screens, but I guess in this case it was just an honest misunderstanding.
