Mod removed my comment because it questioned the core premise of a meme.
I don't think such a comment should be removed.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.
YPTB 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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Can someone show me the hate on hilariouschaos that makes them monsters? They have been censured on fediseer, I think unfairly - each censure is a supposition about what they might do, not what they have done on hilariouschaos. When I look at the instance itself I don't see hate or antagonism, they are not combative like hexbear.
I personally think if a group keeps their crazy into !crazythoughts@instance and then goes out into the fediverse acting as good citizens and respecting posted community rules... then thats fine, they are good fediverse neighbors.
Censures - https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/hilariouschaos.com - None of this point to something the instance itself did. Most of the censures are blank... It's not reasonable to censure a instance for predicted behavior, and its really unreasonable to just echo a censure without doing a investigation "i.e. the n/a censures"
Their admin action modlog looks reasonable :
Update - I've made a dedicated fedigrow post on HC and their censures and defederation.
Their admin is an open transphobe.
You also say that about me... : https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=3&userId=1364396 That is a position I disagree with, obviously I don't think I am.
It would be helpful to see content on HC that demonstrates why they are discriminated against and censured so widely
do they export their beliefs to your instance, and cause trouble for your people?
And here you are, sealioning.
Interesting.
That is reductive thinking - we are in a moderator review discussion which requires us to look at both moderator and commenter actions.
In this discussion the grand parent commenter used the users instance as a factor, and I'm asking for evidence for the instance censures, which is reasonable. If we are saying being a member of a instance is enough to get moderated then its reasonable to establish, WITH EVIDENCE, that the instance censures are based on actions rather then speculations.
Asking a question in good faith is not sealioning. You really really need to learn how to use that word correctly.
I can’t show you specific examples but my block list is filled with users from that instance. They seem to attract shitheads for some reason.
Fair enough, but to understand the impact of your block list, I need to know under what circumstances you would block someone?
I block rude people, bigots, and tankies or fascists. i have noticed hilarious chaos as the instance of a bunch of the users i end up blocking. Their url is rather unique and sticks in the brain.
They are a bit of a nazi bar afaik. I think it's pretty well established, do you really need us to look up specifics?
They have the new conservative communities, and their admins both participate in them.
Here is hilarious chaos's TOS: https://www.termsfeed.com/live/2df34e41-7192-4df8-bfc2-c311fe60a35a which they post under their legal section off the main instance landing page.
The TOS seems reasonable, and second point seems to go against the censures accusations.
Lots of Lemmites are obsessed with censoring people for what they "might do." It's getting freakin' crazy lately. lol
I believe many of the censures came to being as a coordinated effort to isolate the instance as it was one of the first that allows speech that doesn't tow the lemmy party line.
From the interactions I've seen on my community on hc all the vile activity has come from outside instances.
I was not aware there was a 'lemmy party line', especially considering the origins of lemmy and its devs
