Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

951 readers

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.


Relevant comms

MODERATORS
 

These comment removals don't appear on the modlog but the likely culprit comment is

"It fucking matters that the lemmy main code contributors are Tankie scum. The less power they exert over the whole, the better."

At a 3 to 2 score, but also includes such heinous comments as

"You can just browse lemmy in a mobile browser like waterfox just fine...

Why would anybody want to install unnecessary third party apps? That sounds awful."

and

"I havent used many instances but I've never used one which didn't have a mobile site."

The Modlog does mention the ban with the following reason:

Look, let's say I agree with that. I think your take lacks depth, but I'll play along.

Yeah, those tankies suck.

But if you roll up to my house spitting rage and hate, IDGAF if I agree with the underlying principle, you're an asshole, and I'm kicking you out.

The community you were in was just escorting you to the door for being obnoxious. And you were. You still are.

You have the freedom to have your opinion. You can even broadcast it anywhere you want. Once. Nobody has to let you back in the door when you disrupt a community with unrelated venom. It's like some. Mormon coming to your door when you've got it open for a nice breeze and bitching about how much Jehovah's witnesses suck.

It stinks up the place.

If your house condemns those who mistreat tankies, then your house spits rage and hatred all on its own.

Dude, you are so far over the top, I'm not sure if you're fucking with people

I say this in the nicest way possible: if you live anywhere in the free world, tankies would clap and cheer when you lose everything you own and/or die.

There is no civil discussion so long as Tankies are allowed to participate.
