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.

- 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.

That's not what happened... Judge made a limited scope ruling. No legal determination was made on his gang affiliation status. This was pointed out for you by two different people up thread.
If you can't read the original content and come to these conclusions, then you are either an idiot or useful idiot or you are paid for this, ie a bad faith actor.
You do serve a useful purpose in discussion purposes though so that other readers can see the failed tricks.
The "limited scope" being that he is a MS-13 member lol. Also what legal determination do you think there is to say "this person is a gang member"?
How can you read the original content and conclude that he needs more judges declaring he is an MS-13 member before he gets deported? (which he should be anyway, since he is there illegally lol)
The irony of you calling me a "useful idiot" is just amazing. You're arguing for an illegal immigrant violent gang member, who has just ignored multiple court appearances in the past, to be brought back into the USA where he has no right to be in the first place. To make it even dumber, you're demanding he be deported from his country of residence lol. Who is being played like a fiddle here again?
"But I just want him to have his due process!" I hear you scream. Where was his "due process" to enter the country? He already had his "due process" in immigration court where he was ordered to be deported and determined to be a gang member. What more "due process" do you actually want? Like specifically - what do you want done with him if he is brought back into the USA?
You dont under the legal process and what due process entails.
This ain't rocket science. But sure you can keep making these idiotic arguments that have no basis in fact or law while sourcing it with poorly stapled shill op website making up narratives
So you can't answer this?
I want the law to be followed and due process provided. This is what this discussion is about...
But you are not here for that. You got shilling some clown talking points to support the regime because you are a bootlicker.
Still can't answer the question lol
What law and what due process?
What process was not followed? What court case should he have if brought back?
If you can't answer these it's pretty clear you're a "bad faith actor".
Sure buddy ;)
Ok cool, so you definitely don't even know what "due process" he wasn't given, nor what "due process" he should be given.
Sums up the mentality of most of the people who are melting down over the deportation of a violent illegal immigrant gang member.
