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.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.

You only feel this way because you agree in lock-step loyalty with Pooh that free speech and criticism of an oppressive world leader should be illegal. To everyone else that is capable of free-thinking and common sense-
It’s a freedom worth exercising.
I sincerely hope that when you’re free of the constraints of your edgy high-school angst and manufactured outrage, you’ll see how cringy it is to defend little Pooh Bear and hopefully come to your senses.
"hurr durr Asian man yellow" is not criticism.
Criticism is allowed and encouraged in China... But you have to back it up. Xi has a doctorate, all members of parliament have at least the equivalent of masters degrees. "Hurrtr duuurrrr China bad because of (insert something from 80 years ago from a completely different internal party)' isn't going to cut it.
I hope you get better soon. Racists are the reason the US is actively destroying itself via Trump's trade war. You need to be better if you want to survive.
It's interesting that the only people who think this is what the "Pooh" insult is, are the ones trying to claim that they're trying to stop racism...
I checked your comment history and wow… you’re nothing without your false accusations, are you?
I mean- I suppose with times being what they are, I can understand your hero warship of that coward Xi, your angenda-inspired rhetoric, and even the schoolyard edgelord insults, but accusing people of racism with absolutely no evidence to support it?
That’s sad and desperate.
And judging on the reaction you get, and your many mod/admin actions of removal- it doesn’t seem like it’s succeeded even a single time to achieve whatever result you’re after.
But best of luck on your next victim. Remember. Volume is key.
Thanks! And you have fun in your crusade to accuse everyone of racism because they disparaged your cowardly little dictator.
You've yet to disparage anyone, you just used a famously racist stereotype to describe an Asian. Or rather you're defending it an neither pretending you don't see the problem, or don't find a problem with your countries history and use of it.
In either case cletus, I hope you get everything you voted for with Trump. You deserve and have earned it.
Cletus? So… am I now to assume that to be another derogatory blanket statement of yours? Americans are somehow all rednecks now?
This, coming from the person accusing me of racism??
Man… it’s good you’re at least transparent with your hypocrisy.
