Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1032 readers
68 users here now

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.


Some acronyms you might see.

Cringe is NOT reason to remove someone's comment...just cringe and move along.

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Especially when it’s not even cringe!!! We were talking about solar and oil lol

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The phrase "all it can" was written twice in one sentence. Ultra cringe.

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Perm ban me, I suck so hard, so hard.

https://beehaw.org/comment/4197620 for context. OP was having a meltdown claiming solar panels are not worth it despite getting proven wrong multiple times. Then they just cherry picked the comment after which the mods finally had enough to claim the mods are the ones loving oil.

Beehaw is known for being way too heavy handed in moderation, though it hasn't been too much of a problem because they decided to defederate from the large instances, which really killed the majority of the network effect they originally had in the fediverse. Honestly I'd just recommend staying away from them, they're not a bad instance but you will encounter and deal with a lot of petty shit like this in their communities.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Talking to beehaw users on communities in other instances is almost always nice in my experience.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 months ago

I've never had a problem with Beehaw users, it's not like with Hexbear where people there are assholes who will attack you. Their only issue is the heavy-handed moderation, though my experience with Beehaw users has been few and far between, and that's not a coincidence, but rather a negative side effect of that heavy handed moderation, since Beehaw has defederated from the largest communities and over-zealously bans users from the instance. Which has the effect of isolating their community, and their users.

From what I remember a lot of people who were joining Beehaw in the earlier days of Lemmy ended up switching to lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, or lemm.ee because they were missing out on all the content.

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I get banned a lot more from .world than anything else.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean instance bans or in lemmy.world communities? If it's community bans that's different since those are often not affiliated with the instance admins. Beehaw though has not community mods, everything is completely and tightly controlled by their admin team, which makes their transgressions so much worse and reflect on them as an instance, and not just one community, or one moderator.

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online -3 points 3 months ago

Communities. Although some mods do have the ear of the instance. None of them seem to like talking about reality.

I don't think your representation of the situation is fair.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 13 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I thought I remembered that brainfart of a discussion. The mod comment is very apt.

[–] LongLive@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Could you please share information about your attached license? Example: What does this achieve and does it have any use cases?

[–] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The license is a copyleft license and I'm doing it because saw someone else doing it, thought it was a neat message (specifically the anti commercial part), and then added it to my comments.

The link should show what it covers.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 25 points 3 months ago

You had a whole fucking meltdown in the comments while spitting absolut bullshit and are now mad? The context to this devinetively matters.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Boohoo.

Hey by the way, you can get money off your electricity bill in CA and OR by feeding your extra solar energy to them.

But sure, it doesn't make a difference. Nihilism like this gets us nowhere, and then you have the gall to complain about power tripping.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

~~These LGBT subs been feeding steady drama for the sub.~~

Modlog is the hottest new content genre!

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

beehaw and blahaj are LGBT focused ~~subs~~ servers. Check this sub, you will see serious content from blahaj this week.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Only Blahaj is afaik. Beehaw is general purpose.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 6 points 3 months ago

hmm, i stand corrected then

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

there are people that want to be referred to as 'it'? Most people I know dislike dehumanizing terms. choosing them is new to me.

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

It is what it is.

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 6 points 3 months ago

I wasn’t aware beehaw was lgbt focused. Either way, solar is not an lgbt focus.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is "cringe" actually against the rules!? If not, I'd demand the rest of the mod team try to defend that! But yeah, it's probably a better use of your time to just block the instance...

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online -4 points 3 months ago

All instances have abusive mods. Mods usually have big egos.
