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:

  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:

Take a break from Lemmy, it sounds like it’d be good for you

I'm good, I can control my emotions.

From where I'm calmly sitting you seem extremely upset about me telling off Tankies.

Look dude, idk what "babys first internet argument" you're hopped up on. But your making an absolute public fool of yourself. Your comment history is basically 90% politically charged shit.

You may think you're on a righteous path, people may even agree with you, but your own attitude hurts your own cause.

You will be blocked after I post this message, I hope you find help that you desperately need and that you crawl yourself out of this hole of political mania you've dug yourself into.

This guy just keeps getting angrier all the time, jfc, who pissed in your cereal?

He just finally realized how little you value your own time.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 33 minutes ago (1 children)

He finally calmed down, bless his soul

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago (1 children)

You're like a professional at making bad arguments on the Internet aren't you?
