You seem like a troll. I'm surprised your whole account is not yet banned. It's also pretty pathetic how you took the time to downvote everyone in this thread that says YDI.

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.

Oh wow you trainwrecked hard. Lmao
Oh no, consequences for your actions.
It's only a 3 day ban mate. Go touch some grass.
Looking at it, YDI mate.
I’m not vegan myself but going into “sweetie + laughing emoji” territory with someone unprovoked, especially over phrasing, is, well, silly.
It was amazing how fast they went from "i think this was a reasonable ruling" to "brain damaged vegans!!!!"
Some things just immediately tank people's opinion of a commenter. "Sweetie" and laughing emoji are pretty good. Maybe missing a little "boo hoo".
they could make it even worse by talking about "feefies". I've had people do that to me in DMs more than once
You absolutely deserved it. And if you “can’t see why” youre either a troll or a moron.
BPR and YDI
Did you think you seemed justified in the linked thread?
You were trolling and you're shocked at being banned for being a troll? YDI, come on now.
YDI, a clearcut case.
YDI. Some real Piers Morgan energy you have in that thread.
While I would say the way you worded things was way too unprofessional (I had a similar experience on a different instance I used), I would also mention that it was nothing too controversial. Hey, at least the EU went ahead and at least did something about the labeling trick called lying.
However, this was 100% BPR for me. Some say YDI, but I don't. The compromise for me is that ESH in this instance.
