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.

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:

So called socialist countries have an attrocious civil rights record, a severe lack of protections for vulnerable classes of people, if your definition of liberalism is that it isn't socialism then you've truly outed yourself as a misinformed Tankie, gj comrade.

BTW, those "white liberals" helped pass the civil rights act that MLK Jr advocated for. The USA was 88.5% white at the time of the civil rights movement, and we the entire USA as one people still passed it through an all white congress. MLK's concerns turned out to be wrong with that letter.
