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.

folks should leave lemmy.world
They trippin harder and harder each day
I've been struggling to find another instance that ticks all the boxes
-allows NSFW
-doesnt censor swear words
-allows downvotes
-isnt an embarrassing name (looking at you sh.it.just.works)
-defederated from hexbear and other troll instances
-doesnt cave to elitist interests (.world has now fucked this up)
-active enough to have a good sized feed of communities
If you want a US based-instance, https://discuss.online blocks hexbear and lemmygrad
If you want a non US instance, https://sopuli.xyz blocks hexbear and lemmygrad
Both are large enough to address your last point.
You need to lower your standards at least a little bit because sh.itjust.works is probably one of the better servers out there. Mainly because their philosophy is the same as their namesake, which is almost certainly why they named themselves that. I think most people like it when Shit Just Works, and aren't really fans of the jank, which is what a lot of the earlier days of Lemmy during the Reddit migration were like.
Personally I don't think this one matters so long as it federates content elsewhere in a timely manner. Pay close attention to uptime stats on the Fediverse Explorer. Sort by Active Users for best results - and it looks like lemmy.ca is another good option, defederating from Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml.
You can block instances yourself, you don't need to have your instance do that.
It's still not the same level as defederating at the instance level: https://lemm.ee/post/46435607
