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.

ML has always been fairly tame*, the problem is liberal programming has made them react violently to anything that threatens the status quo, and ml users tend to offer critical support of distasteful people and regimes.
The way neo/libs are reacting to this topic is the same as they react to anyone questioning why zelensky is now one of the wealthiest people in the region.
Edit* compared to the grad or hexbear or some unspeakable instances.
I don't get it, if they dropped the cult of personality bullshit they could enter mainstream. They can't honestly as adult people be larping some dead genocide daddy. I am mean I guess all countries look to "their leaders", some people think Kissenger did nothing wrong. So i can see it as reactionary to that but we are trying to operate at higher level here tbh.
