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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
- 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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

You weren't banned for feminism. You were banned for tinfoil hat election conspiracy theories.
Yeah I linked that itt and clearly stated that - I am upset about (2) separate issues. I want my comments (feminist) reinstated still, which imo was why you were searching for a reason to ban me and chose to call me a hysterical crazy woman with the "tinfoil hat" thing. You also brought up the woman eating salad thing, laughed at me, said I wasnt a priority (okay, then what exactly is a priority for a MOD, you dick), and generally treated me the same way a sexist PoS would about my concerns regarding feminism previously and now.
And it wasnt a conspiracy (the ban), I literally cited a documentary with John McCain and Hillary Clinton, NBC, journalists, the treasury department, NPR, etc. None of it is a “tinfoil hat conspiracy theory” - or is Clinton a conspiracy theorist? Tell me which sources exactly were not okay? What specifically was wrong with what I said? If you tell me a conspiracy, I can refute it by at least pointing out specific examples. What specifically did I say that is a "conspiracy theory?" Why can't you tell me that? I linked the post. You permabanned me for it, you can't take the time to tell me why? Youre so busy stroking your micropenis to your ban logs you cant tell me why?
Eta: Fuck you, you gaslighting misogynistic lying PoS
And comments like that are exactly why you keep getting bans and removals.
"See I can't be sexist when I hate you for being a feminist who stands up for herself."
She's not standing up for herself, she's lying about her ban reason to try to gain sympathy.
She was repeatedly arguing that voting machines were connected to the internet and the election was hacked, NONE of which was true. She was warned, doubled down, and got banned.
Now it's all "Because I'm a woman!" No it's because she's a fucking nutjob.
