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.

As far as I remember: "Attack on people", "Do not harm(possibly a stretch)" and possibly another one. Granted I do not care for dark humor or vulgar language(even against my own beliefs) but it is very different when it is constant targeting like with this community.
Hmm yeah, that makes sense. Some things there could be considered spam as well, the same way that someone making nonsensical meaningless posts would be not okay (posts like this would probably be considered in that category, and this is most of all that's been posted there lately).
@kersploosh@lemmy.world What do you think? Does this seem like it goes against LW's TOS or User conduct rules? Personally I feel like !linuxsucks@lemmy.world is skirting the boundary but there's times it goes too far.
Agree, even if it does not violate any rule now there should be a rule on communities based purely on bad intent/faith. I've seen the posts and while ridicule/comedy is fine, it takes the next step of trying to humiliate people.
A counter example would be some of the memes I have uploaded to c/linuxmemes, it makes fun of our biases and defects but never insulting people.
