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.

You can read the mod log. No reason to harass anyone when the reason is already spelled out.
But since you want to take screenshots and question my instance.
It's effectively a single user instance. That is what I mean by private lemmy instance. I have a handful of users on my instance that are all people I directly know. The implication is that I will not accept general people signing up to my instance, thus "private".
No one is being harassed here I'm asking about a moderator action in a community about moderator actions.
Off-topic is not a rule of the community or dozer0's instance and amusingly enough it's the same reasoning as the OP's comment's removal.
Uhh you sure about that chief?
It's right there... first rule. My sidebar of my instance has nothing to do with this post, or mods, or admins, or any sanctions you would receive.
You got but hurt that I (and somebody else) downvoted you and then started asking questions about my instance, without even tagging me to ask me... That's literally the definition of off topic. That is the reason it was removed. What more discussion would tagging db0 net you?
BTW... I downvoted you because I didn’t think the comment actually further discussion and specifically shuts down any meaningful discussion. Not sure what the verbiage in my sidebar has to do with any of that.
It was a comment not a post and it was on topic in the topics that were naturally forming in the comments.
