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:
- 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.
- 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.

I made !unlockthread@lemm.ee for lockedthreads but yall can crosspost and recomment there (lol i dont see anyone actually using that community yet), this situation applies
In my experience, too many .world mods are shit. Just Reddit all over again.
Yep!
The hypocrisy in someone posting about a national shutdown in protest of a forceful dictatorship-
-then going on to delete most of the comments because they don’t like that they disagree with their narrative is- Well.. you know…..
I see things like this all time. It's so crazy they never see that they're doing exactly what they accuse others of.
Ya know eveytime I see these I wonder, “how did the Arabs do it?” They actually did something in Egypt. We can’t even agree to take the same day off.
It didn't do shit. Egypt is a dictatorial police state, the middle east is in shambles, thousands have died for just wanting peace and democracy.
They fucking used tanks against bahraini protestors. Libya is a failed state. Syria entered a decade long civil war, and tunisia is the only one that had a good outcome[-ish].
We still live like peasants in autocratic monarchies, totalitarian dictatorships and "democracies", what the fuck is this user talking about?
But if you are going to do this, you need some amount of leadership and coordination. 50 people losing their jobs as they said is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it will ruin those 50 people's lives.
Egypt got fuck ton of money from USA to restore (their) order. Libya was toppled by the USA. Syria was destabilized and invaded by everyone around it (and the USA)

To clarify, there's definitely some outright flaming and incivility in there that warranted deletion, but there's a lot of valid comments and constructive criticism that got removed, too.
There's no formal rules on this comm except "be civil".
There is also a fair amount of deflecting in the thread ("I'm not affiliated with the movement, I'm just sharing it") in response to posts that stayed up - I feel like if you're sharing something on your own community, you ought to be prepared to have a discussion about it. You thought it was worth posting, so there are probably reasons you thought that, right?
I saw that post in my feed and scrolled through all the deleted comments. Checked the modlogs to see what was removed and immediately thought- yeah, that post will end up here.
PTB for sure.
The bastard deleted my comment. All i said was that it looked like a facebook chain post (1 like = 1 prayer, share for jesus).

I don't think anyone's gonna click all those links, matey.
edit: please check the posting guidelines in the sidebar
I could have embedded the screenshots instead I suppose, but honestly I struggle to remember how to do that on fedi sites because I don't do it very often.
I do have one post among the comments that were deleted, but I wanted to give a more zoomed-out overview of the goings-on rather than focusing on my own comment. If that's not close enough to the desired format, then my bad... If that's not what you're referring to, though, I wouldn't mind more specifics?
Unruffled is probably referring to the rules which forbid the deobfuscating of mod names here to prevent harassment.
quick reminder regarding the embedding: the format is the same as linking stuff, but with an leading exclamation mark:
Most clients allow me one to simple copy paste the image and it will be re-uploaded to lemmy

Is it just me or is Imgur completely unusable now?
The expandos aren't loading right on Fedia, but I can click through the direct links without issue. I've been using Imgur for a while because it had an easy integration with ShareX. Happy to take suggestions for another image host if you have some though, I'm sure I'm behind the times on this.
I see Catbox used quite often around here.
Ugh, I tried. But it doesn't work for me. Not yet, anyway.
