Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1778 readers

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.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

Done

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.

He has abused the modlog to claim 'harassment', which I have never engaged in. I have not even interacted with Rimu in any way for days prior to getting kicked from the PieFed developer Matrix channels.

He has decided to mass ban 20 users because they have spoken out against his erratic and hostile behaviour as of late.

ableist function names

Which ones? Not coming to PieFed's defense [1], just want to bask in yet another PieFed L, and I'm not personally that tapped in when it comes to the actual code in Lemmy and PieFed.

[1] Don't pay attention to the software my instance is running lol, I just wanted anarchist.nexus in my domain name to make my anarchism completely obvious 😆

Okay now I'm like 90% sure that null account is a rimu alt.

They're both using that rimus not transphobic line as a defense to try and deflect

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

null has been around for I think longer than Rimu.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think both arrived during the Reddit APIcalypse like me.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 weeks ago

I preferred when I had no idea about either of them but damn null is nasty

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol multiple people can see with their own 2 eyes that Mia said she thinks Rimu is a transphobe?

Must be an alt!

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Except she didn’t, she took the instances ideals as the reason the instance was shadowbanned as Rimu provided no actual reason.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you need me to quote it for you? She said she assumes the reason is that Rimu is anti-left and transphobic.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (6 children)

Because you’re a lying piece of shit, I’ll quote it for you

Apparently for ' obvious reasons ', of which I can only assume is our left leaning anarchist/pro-trans stance

Does that say Rimu is transphobic or that quokka.au is pro-trans? Go on tell me champ.

This is like the 5th time someone has said that and no have not seen any evidence.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes describing what the instance is. Where's the claim?

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

You disagree with that?

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes describing what the instance is. Where's the claim?

I go by actions rather than what words are used as so many prefer optics rather than what is actually happening.

It's extremely telling when those saying rimu was called transphobic only bring it up as a way to deflect from rimus actions.

It's really easy to come to a specific conclusion if you go searching for it like in this case.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice dodge.

I'll ask again:

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

You disagree with that?

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I go by actions rather than what words are used as so many prefer optics rather than what is actually happening.

How is that a dodge?

If someone takes actions to silence trans people or attack them yes but that's not at all what rimu supports keep shouting as the claim.

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

So this is what actually happened or it was just a statement on the instance that had repercussions done to it by rimu?

Please help me and others understand

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

How is that a dodge?

Because it's completely non-responsive to my question.

If someone takes actions to silence trans people or attack them yes

Okay! So you agree.

So this is what actually happened or it was just a statement on the instance that had repercussions done to it by rimu?

It is what Mia actually said she thinks is a reason the instance was silenced, yes. Therefore, my original claim is true.

Please help me and others understand

If only you were willing.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

😮‍💨. I knew better and still engaged.

Gonna stop here as you both are not reading anything and still ignoring the actual issue

Edit.

Re read you're own comments and you'll see yourself is calling rimus actions transphobic considering how little thought is put into the it

Re read you’re own comments and you’ll see yourself is calling rimus actions transphobic considering how little thought is put into the it

Hard to parse this word salad, but no, nowhere did I call rimus actions transphobic. You're lying.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If someone takes actions to silence trans people or attack them yes

It is what Mia actually said she thinks is a reason the instance was silenced, yes. Therefore, my original claim is true.

According to this logic you have presented since rimu did what Mia said his action therefore is transphobic.

Rimus action to attack another instance, which happens or have trans users, means he must be by your logic.

Again I'm going off actions not words but since the only example rimu defenders have is an instance being described it's all anyone can conclude

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rimus action to attack another instance, which happens or have trans users, means he must be by your logic.

Nope, has to be specifically targetted at them for being trans for it to meet my logic.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Which is what you said is the reason for it. Therefore your logic shows he is one

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it's what I said Mia said is the reason for it. Keep up.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If someone takes actions to silence trans people or attack them yes
me Okay! So you agree. You

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Correct. You agree that Mia thinks rimu was taking actions to silence trans people or attack them for being pro-trans.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope, logic was if the action did it then that mean it was what happened not the words used.

Again we get back to all of this is an admin describing the instance that was attacked.

Now you've spent what 50 comments trying to deflect from what actions actually happened, which pale to the transphobe claims.

I just find it funny this is the only defense for an epic self inflicted crashout on rimus part.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Nope, logic was if the action did it then that mean it was what happened not the words used.

The logic Mia is using, correct. Hence why I said she believes it was what happened.

Now you’ve spent what 50 comments trying to deflect from what actions actually happened, which pale to the transphobe claims.

Nope, I've spent 50 comments not letting you lie about what I said.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope, I've spent 50 comments not letting you lie about what I said.

I thought we were debating what rimu did not you.

Although funny to say that when just quoting you.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought we were debating what rimu did not you.

We were debating what I claimed Mia said about what rimu did.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope been about how silly the crash out and how only get defenders distracting

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So you concede that Mia did in fact say she thinks rimu is a transphobe.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Unless you have more than the instance description fuck no

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

So then we try this again. Here is the claim, tell me whether you agree or disagree with this claim:

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

So you are claiming rimu is a transphobe and was silencing people now?

I mean, you're the one digging their heels in on this point.

You can say sure, fine, Mia did say she thinks Rimu is a transphobe, but that's a minor part of a larger issue. And that you think Rimu is still worse and in the wrong. And that people are only bringing it up to deflect from Rimus actions.

But the fact that you have to twist and turn instead of just admitting I was right really speaks volumes about how you guys operate.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're both using that rimus not transphobic line as a defense to try and deflect

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is like the 5th time someone has said that and no have not seen any evidence.

But you had seen the evidence, and it was true.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm gonna laugh if rimus crash out is because they think an admin describing their instances focus as the reason.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago

So you concede that Mia did indeed say she thinks a reason rimu silenced quokk.au is because he's transphobic.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If Rheori is Serinus, Null can be Rimu.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago

Why world serinus have an alt though? They're happy to do it in public once they have prevented anyone from responding
