Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.
- 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.

Lol that's a ~~paddlin~~ bigotry
Until .world gets around to finishing defed'ing from the last of the Tankie Triad, best we can do is avoid generating anything on .ml. No comments, posts or upvotes. If it's a non-tankie post cross post it to the closest relevant non-.ml community
That’s exactly what I do. I refuse to post anything or interact with anything created for, or in that shithole.

Someone seriously needs to make a community called “Rule 1” that specifically calls their shit out.
It can either be a place to document the abusive admins on .ml (I say admins and not mods because it seems from the logs, the mods are powerless pawns that are overridden by the authoritarian admins all the time there)
Or it can be a parody community designed to illustrate the absurdity of admin abuse.
(I’ll help mod it if someone makes one, but I ain’t creating that shit. WAY too heady for me. lol)
"Authoritarian admins"????
That's it, banned, Rule 1
- !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
- !fediverselore@lemmy.ca
- This one, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
- There's surely way more places for people to post such content, like I see it on 196 a lot as well.
Also, while it is indeed the admins that mass ban people from communities that they've never even heard of across the entire instance, the mods are not entirely unknown to Lemmy users themselves. There are many famous stories, such as the one who told a user that he wanted to kill them, bc they posted a screenshot of two people kissing in some kind of dating game claiming that it was "triggering". Those mods are protected by those admins. In turn, nobody else across the Fediverse is protected from either those mods or especially those admins.
This is their software, and we are on their platform, always remember.
I meant a community that specifically calls out the mystery surrounding their vague .ml “Rule 1” removals.
And while .ml is their domain to moderate how they chose, any other instance is feee to host a community that calls out their authoritarian rigidity.
They have domain over their own shithole of an instance- not any of the others. So it’s not their anything. Ad If they wanted that level of control over it- to be able to dictate what others can and can’t do outside of their prison, they should have emulated their authoritarian ideology and locked it down.
It’s too bad they underestimated the number of people capable of independent thinking.

Pff amateur. I got an instance wide permaban for "dear winnie"
You now understand correctly - you FAAFO on that instance. Best to steer clear of it.
I'm surprised it is only temporary. Looking at the mod log, getting a temp ban or a warning are the rarest forms of mod actions taken across all of Lemmy.
ML generally don't do perma bans
