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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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'm not against jury nullification exactly, but for murder? I mean if he just kicked him in the nuts fine. But this guy was already getting sued by the DOJ, this kept us from learning what he knew (which, of course, may have been the actual point of the shooting).
He was being investigated for insider trading using information he was privy to in his position as CEO. Standard everyday business stuff. No need for the conspiracy theories...
They ran an AI approval process that denied 90% of the claims for months. They denied cancer treatment children anti-nausea medication. Denied diabetes treatment multiple times. Did things that either killed people or caused them to go bankrupt to try to treat their illnesses that they paid the healthcare company to handle. UHC had 22B in profit last year. They literally made it from hurting the people stuck with them because of their jobs.
You yourself can see how excited the general public is. The healthcare companies have swung WAY too far into screw you, what you gonna do about it territory. This is RIPE for nullification.
Morally, it's trash, but morally, they were (and by proxy he was) far worse.
