Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1329 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.

Based on the modlog, I'm going to take an guess and say that the person in question posted an AI-generated image representing a fictitious but realistic child doing something sexual with an adult, and the removal entry doesn't show in the modlog because it was purged.

"Technically" this is not CSAM, but the difference does not matter here. No sane instance allows images depicting sex with children; doubly so if it can be reasonably confused with CSAM, like AI generated images can. So, if my guess is correct, the user deserved it.

And, if my guess is wrong (it could be - I don't know), the user still deserves a permaban, but under another reason: just look at the modlog. It boils down to the user assuming (i.e. making shit up, lying to know what they don't) things about other users, so they can screech at them. Being an assumer on its own is already bad, but a combative assumer is even worse.

Based on the text of their removed comments from the .world modlog, they deserved being banned even before the one that says they posted CSAM.

Well they were pretty suggestive of child rape but Trump was friends with Epstein.
