Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

909 readers
345 users here now

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.

As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, here's the book referenced by the shooter:

Give it a day or two for the LW admins to respond. Remember, they're not doing this as a full time job. This only happened today, and I would expect change on the instance to take more than one day.

Also most of the mods on LW only have one big community. Different communities will have different standards.

What are you talking about? The post is about a LW admin declaring that discussing jury nullification is grounds for banning. Did you mean to reply to something else?

Edit: Not admin, worldnews mod

They're not an admin, they're a community mod and they're talking out of their ass.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right. I just realised that. So either they know something or they're making false claims and the admins need to remove him.

Willing to bet it's the ladder, this would be outlandish if true and would be kind of bad for lemmy.world.

Ah whoops. OK, mod making a declaration on behalf of the admin team, it looks like.
