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.

An account on Feddit.org is pushing a screenshot of a conspiracy theory that shows db0 is run by Nazis. Zero evidence is supplied except a link that mysteriously doesn't work. Of course Feddit.org is eating this up as all the proof they needed.

When arguing against that and how suspicious it is that a user was browsing this site at all to happen to discover a month old post that conveniently portrayed a plan by Nazis to take over the instances who defederated feddit.org for Zionism.

Knowing how important following German law is for Feddit.org, I inquired as to if libel was against the law. I was informed that it was and calling people Nazis was libel (i.e. exactly what the post they are hosting is doing).

I was than banned for apparently calling someone a Nazi? (I never did, you can see that below) yet in the modlog the actual reason given was bad-faith, because I did not blindly accept a easily falsified screenshot.

The admin in question is Emopunker@feddit@feddit.org

This evidence continues a history of bad-faith and outright lying by the administration at Feddit.org.

I will investigate reporting this to the German authorities, it is unacceptable that Feddit.org will call people Nazis with the full support of the administration staff.

PTB, the actions of Feddit.org and emopunker do not surprise me. They went to accusing me of being a bigot when I wouldn't readily accept the Hasbara apologia. It's not surprising they wouldn't use doctored evidence we are Nazis to support their own beliefs, and use their admin powers to suppress those who push back or call it out.

It's also possible emopunker doctored that evidence themselves. We can't really prove it but it certainly is possible.
