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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.

DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated…..

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

So... the thing is, you linked a right-wing nutjob site, but! I looked into it anyway because I'm always willing to do that. And if you scroll down to where the rag you're linking says, "which he has disputed in court, are included in the release," you would see the word "included" there is a hyperlink to a justice.gov website, which is the documents involved with the subsection, "2019 detention and bond hearings" to which I directed you.

That document is an officer talking about the other men that Garcia was with, they're suspected ties to MS-13, and then they talk about Garcia. Why was he suspected of being with MS-13? He was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat. "Officers know such clothing to be indicative of the Hispanic gang culture." His crime was being in a Home Depot parking lot, looking for work, and wearing a Chicago Bulls hat. And I can't stress enough that the wikipedia link which you found less trustworthy than this garbage, had all of this information!

To continue showing evidence of what I say, here is a link to an actual court document, citing the withholding of removal order. Which was granted. What you're looking for is at the bottom of page 2- "Although Abrego Garcia was found removable, the immigration judge granted him withholding of removal to El Salvador in an order dated October 10, 2019."

That 'court document,' is the Defendant's Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Why am I emphasizing that? Because this was filed by the Department of Homeland Security. This is a document, supplied to court, by Trump's administration, which states that the withholding status was granted.

You can send me garbage articles from idiots all day but nothing will compete with, "Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security list that the withholding status was granted in an actual filing with the court." And they not only state that it was granted, they do so under the heading, "Statement of Facts." Enjoy.

Finally, the reason that the Barrio 18 was after him had nothing to do with MS-13. They were after him, like they had been after his older brother before him- his mother owns a business, and the Barrio 18 were extorting her.

I'd say I'm looking forward to your next reply, but I'm sure it'll be an extensive moving of goalposts. He had the withholding status. He shouldn't have been deported. The Supreme Court agrees with me. That's really all I need.
