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.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

There's only one mod of !mop@quokk.au

I commented on their meme about Kamala Harris being just as likely to commit war crimes as Trump with an admittedly snarky, sarcastic reply that basically said "some of us wanted to whatever we could, as little as it might be, instead of watching the world burn. Must feel real morally superior safe behind that keyboard"

They banned me from the community for it.

Kinda funny for a community that bills itself as "free from the influence of .ml"

It's a bad take (in the context of to community you posted in) that is worded as a personal attack against the mod, it's not a good look for you. It still harsh to get perm banned for pretty much your second comment there though ngl

But yeah aside from that, the general vibe I'm getting from the community and the mod is that there's an attempt to build an echochamber of a specific ideology, and severe enough disagreement will likely land you a ban if the rules can justify it in the slightest way possible. It's a bit contradictory though, given how 99% of the mod posts there are just radical liberal coal that most people can agree with (just look at the upvotes), but when those people start commenting, they start banning them en masse since it's not the kind of people they want, and I don't think they have the self awareness to realize this contradiction.

Wonder if there's an acronym for "you probably deserved less, but the mod is also at fault for attracting and 'baiting' people like you over with their posts", idk.

PTB, "leftists should try to make the world a better place" is not a right wing opinion, or against the community rules. Deceptichum is not accountable to their own community's governing principles.
