I’m tired of shitlibs complaining that everyone isn’t supporting vote blue no matter who and pushing electorialism.
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.
- Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
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.
Relevant comms
Lol hello this is exactly the type of thing I was warning about recently.
We say the same thing all the time and every few years they act shocked and pretend we’re all Russian bots.
So much this!! Happens every election and is very annoying.
kingofras this isn't !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works. This is PTB, you keep not following rule 0, at this point it's BPR.
!manufacturingconsent@lemmy.ml is a /c/ to discuss haw people manufacture consent, positive or negative. It's about discovering how we are not immune to propaganda, and how many easily fall for it.
make a !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world 🧵 if you're serious about discussing a Texan election. This instance is anti electoralism, because we comprehend demagoguery. Americans, more than 80%, don't.

It's really sad how Liberal racists like OP think they can shame others into supporting their pro-genocide agenda, and go on a whine parade after getting shut down. And how normalized their behavior is around the internet.
The name of the community is literally "manufacturing consent," and you're arguing in favor of consenting to genocide. You're the exact kind of reason the community exists in the first place
OPs complete lack of self-awareness is amazing, right? I count this as the third attack against a leftist comm on LW in eight days. I guess the MOG right-wingers are getting agitated, lol. How about the DNC stops standing up pro-genocide candidates, then we might be able to get along.
My comments were removed and I was banned (again) for pointing out that Talarico went on to say that Netanyahu doesn't have a right to wage war on civilians, that the violence in Gaza needs to end, that we should support Palestine as much as we can, and we should come to a two-state solution that gives Palestinians self-determinance.
Just to as an addition I did ban OP but I did not ban you.
I generally only start banning turbolibs when they start insulting people.
Your ban was from a .ml admin who don't want Liberals on the server preaching their Liberalism. (based tbh).
and we should come to a two-state solution that gives Palestinians self-determinance.
Palestinians have the right to all of Palestine not an ethnostate next to them.
This election doesn't offer an off-ramp to genocide
So then it's not a democracy and it doesn't matter if people participate in the sham.
On the other hand, if there is some semblance of democracy, then there is always an off-ramp to genocide or anything else, which is getting people to demand it. By giving your vote to a politician who doesn't offer an off-ramp to genocide, you are choosing not to demand it, you are saying that you find what they're offering acceptable, genocide included.
If a critical mass of people refuse to vote for a candidate over an issue, then they will change their stance on that issue if they care at all about winning. If all you say is, "Hey, we'd prefer if you did this, but it's not going to have any impact on how we vote," then it doesn't matter how many people say that, they're not going to change their stance because you've given them no reason to.
Stop letting politicians tell you what is and isn't possible and start telling them instead.
I swear, the kind of trivial shit that will end a politician's career because people think it's kinda cringe, shit like the Dean Scream, and you think this is just set in stone because they say it is?
These people want trump to win. They do everything in their power to make the left look as bad as possible. They need things to get worse and the west to decend into fascism so their shitty ideology looks like the lesser evil.
