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.

Not really "powertripping". Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org... I've unsubbed and blocked the instance.

We can't dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!

Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930's "tolerating" fascism, and the Nazi's killed over 100 million people. Don't make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.

So writing the policy that deliberately withholds rightful treatment, causing thousands of people to die, is not similar to actively strangling them? And a self respecting regime shouldn't be having a discussion about how people with power use that power to the detriment of their fellow man and what the consequences should be to prevent the fallout of more luigis?

you sound like a domestic terrorist mate, final warning.

I sound like a domestic terrorist for articulating that physical violence isn't that far off from economic or social violence and that the failure to enforce penalties against them will lead to people lashing out as we have seen multiple times historically? And that we should have a discussion about that to avoid people continuing to stew in poor conditions that ultimately lead to someone lashing out? You sound like an apologist and someone who is unconcerned with the general welfare of their fellow man.

I just want peace, love and unicorns, Luigi's act upset the fantasy world I live in... where hard work pays, the leadership is good, healthcare quality is good, and the poor deserve being poor.

Neo liberalism has brought prosperity for all the best people and I can't stand see lazy people now trying to roll back the reforms that permitted us to prosper this well.

To be clear, at no point have I advocated violence. I have pointed out why some people may be moved to violence in response to non physical kinds of violence that do not provoke consequences Then said it was semantics between a murderer and a person who kills by policy, which would reason that it should result in harsher penalties for the people who kill by policy.

All that to prevent more abused people taking power into their own hands.

Again, at no point did I advocate for violence or terrorism. Please learn to read.

I never seen anyone on fedi advocate for violence but I have seen a lot of mods remove content they did not like and claim that tit was "advocating violence"

Also, I apologize I was being sarcastic, I agree with your analysis.
