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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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.

Can we migrate instances or do we just start a new account elsewhere?
New account. There is a way to back up your subscriptions, somewhere, but you can't "move" an account.
You can export your info from your existing account and import it on your new one.
Account -> Settings -> Export to a JSON file, then in the new instance after creating your new account Import it. It will remember your community subscriptions and block lists, but if people send messages to your old account there is currently no way to forward them to the new. You could put a message in your old account (Bio area I guess?) to let people know.
@Blaze@feddit.org has some nice lists of instances to move to, if you haven't made a decision yet. Like lemm.ee if you want access to everything on the Fediverse - including hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml that I don't recommend but you do you - and is the #3 Lemmy instance by size, or sh.itjust.works (#4 instance) seems quite nice. Conversely, Lemmy.cafe (UK) or quokk.au (Australia), or dubvee.org are the only ones defederated from the big three tankie instances including even lemmy.ml, if you want that. Lemmy.ca for Canada, feddit.org German + English, lemmy.dbzer0.com for anarchism, Discuss.Online for USA, and ofc there are themed ones as well.
Here is a really nice website tool to help show you info about each instance: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list.
