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.
YTPB 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.
- 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.

We all believe you, monk
🙄
Some things are true whether you believe them or not.
If you ever find proof of "harassing" DM's that I sent, please post for us all to see. Because that was the supposed reason for my banning and when I ask about it, all I get is "That's private, we don't share private information."
Seems easy enough to block out the "private" part and show screencaps of what I said that would be deemed "harassing." tho.
Face it, the reason I was banned was because people thought I was a troll because I didn't vote for the Biden/Harris train and voted socialist. Now it's ok to bitch about Biden/Harris. And in fact, lots do now. But 3 months ago, it was viewed differently.

Still proud of what I did and what I said. And very very happy that I didn't vote for Harris in the election. :)
And the banning did nothing, I just switched to better and less censorship-happy instances. So all good.
And people are still trying to ban me from other instances. LMAO But it didn't work: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252
Thanks, friend! Proof that people are still trying as of just last week (it failed and the admins in question rightly stood up for me and refused to bow down to the witchhunt):
I know who you are, monk. Ive interacted with you before. I don't care what you have to say, to be frank. You're a troll and you know it.
I know. Glad you admitted it rather than imply that I was lying.
Nope. Posting things you don't like doesn't make me a troll. And I'm still glad I voted third-party. Funny how lots more are advocating for third-party now, huh? When I did it, I was accused of being a troll. Hmmm, my my my, how things change once the truth comes out.
I'm still here, no matter how much you all tried to censor me. Because the fediverse is awesome and celebrates diversity of thought.
And I hope that the squid guy in question, who I don't agree with most of the time, realizes that Lemmy shouldn't be taken so seriously. Hopefully, he steps back a bit and heals.
Thanks, friend! :)
