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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
- 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.

So, the source is your arse?
Yes, sweetie.
You are asking me to search for probably non-existent section of German criminal law forbidding public from calling nazis worthless piece of shit.
At no point in this thread did anyone quote the actual law, including the guy few comments above this one. You keep commenting third time about pasting into Google - well suit yourself and do that.
Furthermore, it is on the person claiming existence of such law to give a source, not on me to disprove it - that is basic logic.
So, since you are so adamant, are you able to give some legal source, with quote, referring to a specific situation here?
You may or may not be right, but jesus christ stop condescendingly calling people sweetie.
I will try for you, honey 😁
Yikes
My German is pretty rusty and I’m currently on call but:
This is in English for you, babe, so have a look through and cross reference it against what the comment claims.
I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, just pointing out how to settle the discussion.
Any other queries, don’t hesitate to hit me up.
The constitution is the base of the criminal law. However: in our law system judges don't say "this violates article on of our constitution so youre guilty" but use the criminal law to specify how people should be punished. So while you are in theory right this devinetively isn't the base of how you should argue that something is illegal.
This is constitution not a criminal law, sweetie 🙄
You don't have a clue, do you?
Grundgesetz
Yes, sweetie. Not the criminal law.
So that means its ok to violate it? Like what is your argument there?
That you cannot be penalised under criminal law? Plus arguing that the OP violated constitution is ridiculous.
Fair, I did not know individuals could not be persecuted based on the GG alone (although there seems to be some nuance on this with "mittelbare Drittwirkung" which implies that the GG should be considered even when a matter is between two private individuals, but I don't think that is too relevant here)
