Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.

No, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how federation works.
The user is on lemm.ee. When they make a post, they're posting to a local copy of the community, and never directly onto the server. Thats not how federation works and so your points are all totally invalid.
At no point does the user ever make contact themselves with that external server. They never physically touch lemmy.world in their actions, everything they do is on lemm.ee, and so lemm.ee's Terms of Service is the one that applies to the user.
As has already been hashed out multiple times, Lemmy.world's ToS is not relevant here and does not apply to an external user.
This is totally up for debate, and you don't understand it. That's fine, learn from people who do know and take it with some humility.
Oh and if you still don't get why its important and how wrong you are - if you were right, then every single post you make is federated to thousands of different fedi servers. Suddenly, you would be legally in contract with all those thousands of servers and their ToS. Imagine if I put in mine that users have to pay a small sum of currency for every post that they make on my server. In your incorrect definition, you would be liable for that just like lemmy.world have applied their ToS against someone who isn't one of their users.
What lemmy.world should do is update their moderation policies/code of conduct/whatever to specifically say that they will ban you if they suspect you are under 18. Its such an easy fix. This never had to be so wrong in the first place.
ROFL….
In other words, "I have no rebuttal"
That's what they default to, yeah. Every time they're in a corner it's lol or lmao.
This you?

Some things are just too fucking stupid to entertain. This is one of those things.
The kid broke a rule. Got banned. Cry about it all you want, but the fact remains.
Nah, you were backed into a corner and couldn't come up with a real response. Play it off all you like, but your behaviour is incredibly transparent.
Nah. I get to say what my reaction means. Not you. Cool?
Okay, Cool.
Whatever helps you sleep at night lmao
Autonomy is a pretty big deal to me. Maybe you like people telling you how you think and feel about things, but I’m personally not a big fan of it…
so l, yeah… I sleep better having told people who try to build a straw man out of my reactions to kindly fuck off.
Which is what I did.
Glad to see you admit you don't know what you're talking about about.
When other instance admins who have to be familar with this law interaction disagree with you, you're probably wrong.
