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.
YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
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.

Apparently, due process is unrelated to an illegal deportation without due process case. (lemmy.world)

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.

This person isn't arguing in good faith. They straight up ignored my reply to try and argue with you. I linked the same documents that came from that same bullshit article they linked to me and they refuse to look at them, they just keep parroting, "proven in court twice! Proven in court twice!"

They're going to argue with anything they see, and they can't be swayed by facts.

Yeah, I saw. To be fair to them, I did respond after your last response, so perhaps that's why they jumped to responding to me instead. Who knows? And yeah, I was planning to give up on them if they did anything other than make a coherent response actually addressing my argument with something from the court docs, which I think is highly unlikely.

so perhaps that’s why they jumped to responding to me instead

Bingo. Just going through notifications from top to bottom, but I’ll get to them all eventually.

I have a few questions for you:

in the court docs was it determined that he is a MS-13 gang member, yes or no?
why was the “do not deport to El Salvador” order given? Was it because he was going to be deported for being in the country illegally and a gang member?
should he have been allowed to stay in the united states illegally forever? Say he wasn’t deported to El Salvador the other week - what should be done with him?

I’m sorry I haven’t “straight up ignored” your reply, I’m working backwards through notifications when I can. Don’t worry, I’ll get to yours. I don’t ignore people trying to have a conversation with me, I thought that would be obvious to you since you seem to be following my replies.

I “keep parroting” that it was determined in court twice because - get this - it was. The gang member allegations were determined to be true by the immigration court, and then by the next court after that finding was appealed. Do you disagree with those statements?

I will gladly be proven wrong and happily admit when I am wrong, because I value learning over pretty much all else in my life. If you can show me that it has been determined in a court that he ISN’T an MS-13 gang member, go ahead.
