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.
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.
Relevant comms
Here's additional context that Blaze conveniently left out.

I'd be 100% on the Lemm.ee community if it had the history the LW one does.
This has very little to do with LW, and is about the effort I've put into this community over the last two years compared to Blaze's efforts that started 16 days ago and seem manipulative and malicious.
mate, listen to me, this is counter-productive. complaining that someone prefers to talk about a subject in a different instance just makes you look salty. If your community has more active people, and given than the fact that you built a whole app for it you seem to be very invested in it, it will organically become the de-facto one.
People will naturally orient themselves to whichever comm is the most active. Trying to force this activity by doing things like censoring links to other comms, will only backfire.
I even wrote an application 11 months ago specifically to make posts to this community.
Oh, so now you recognise that Blaze is a manipulative wanker? Yet you somehow missed this small fact when you blocked Carnivore community last week after being prompted by the same manipulative wanker?
This is looking a lot like a personal attack tbh. This community is about holding mods/admin to account, not for personal attacks on other users. Blaze has (from my own personal experience) consistently been working to help promote small instances and provide alternatives to communities hosted on the larger instances. While that may not be great from LW's perspective, I think it's good for the fediverse as a whole. This whole situation feels like it could easily be resolved with a good faith discussion between all parties involved tbh.
No. Blaze has done everything to manipulate Serinus to get him to ban Carnivore community. He is as far away from "helping small instances" as I can think of - he is a manipulative wanker and I am glad that Serinus may have noticed that this time.
