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 would have banned you for genocide apologism.
The fact they both sided this, and feel very strongly about people reacting to it, months later… raises questions about motive and belief.
I’m not here to judge or criticize, that much. But it was very uncomfortable for me to read that and see some comments concerning it.
Too much drama here
How the fuck is this genocide apologism.
The "IGF" isnt a typo, i called them israel genocide forces.
No, you called them IGF. It depends on everyone else to guess what you actually meant.
It's a sensitive subject and saying "hamas is just as bad" is essentially a dog whistle. It's a main talking point of the pro-genocide goofballs and, even though it wasn't your intention, being a mouthpiece is still ban worthy.
You're both sidesing a geonicide even when it's still actively in progress. Even recognizing it as such.
You don't know the political circumstances that lead them to such desperate measures (the Abraham accords isolating Palestinians and making their genocide more inevitable as this is obviously the goal of Israel.)
Or, you can believe this is some irrational hatred that exists due to some genetic / deep cultural root... A belief that would be deeply dehumanizing and would justify the Israeli governments actions.
Your the kind of person who would of both sideded the French resistance and the Warsaw ghetto uprisings. Think about that. Reaaaaaally think about that. Consider that your position in a different time would be defending Nazis.
I didn't read the context of the commenter, nor am i trying to find bias in the argument. I was bored and surfing through all my shit on Lemmy.
But many people have a hard time identifying ideas that people have "locked" in as whatever mechanic that the acronym is known for (Not necessarily the acronym itself. Keep reading) It's not going to change. I understand and respect how you criticize, but the most you're going to do with someone is anger them, and not "in a thought out defensive" way, but in a "They had to do a CTRL+ALT+DEL" to understand what you were getting at. I respect your right to argue, but I'd like to recommend that you use like-minded phrasing and mentality that the rest of your known population uses (meaning human social interactions in this regard. Not interent social interactions). And I'm not saying this to offend anyone at all, but examples like:
"The 'Israeli Defense Force!?' I prefer to call them the 'Israeli Genocide Force!'" You're acknowledging their belief and feelings disrespectfully, but you're also expressing your beliefs and feelings in a respectful way. No one should have to feel bad, nor should anyone push the other to feel bad for their beliefs.
We're now on a planet with 8 billion people. The fuck is treating people like shit for believing something we don't truly believe going to impact?
