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.

tbh this is a win. use [email protected] or [email protected] instead.
history post that explains why the .world community isn’t worth worrying about: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663
Until they run into the same issue with the blahaj admins.
Tbh weather you use 196.world or onenindysix.blahaj is a matter of which community wronged you first
I can't even find a post that OP made on 196.world , so they shouldn't be banned without posting there.
@[email protected] want to chime in at all?
If the .world mods are banning people for dissent on other communities like the blahaj admins do then that makes them no better.
Oh please, I haven't found someone who was actioned by the blahaj admins that weren't bellyaching over being banned for queerphobia. As much as some people complain, it's not actually a real problem, these people aren't wanted in 196 communities.
Edit: after looking over your modog and history, You deserve those bans 100%
Turns out when janitors don't like you they pick a random reason and hit ban.
Blahaj is a hive mind, it isn't an inclusive place. And the ones who don't agree get banned
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am so far out of Blahaj’s demographic it’s mind blowing - but still I understand that when I interact with Blahaj I have to respect the rules of the house. That’s just how federation works. Obey the house rules or don’t visit. I might not agree with Ada about every single thing, and that’s not a problem, but if I decide to visit Ada’s yard I’m not gonna disrespect her there.
this is such a crazy take
Yeah, that's often the case with many of the people banned from blahaj for hate-speech, gatekeeping, or thinly veiled transphobia. They'd try and have people believe blahaj is an evil cult, and not that they were being assholes, which is what most of them were doing. A short peruse of their history and modlogs often shows it very clearly and the person you replied to is no exception.
Quite frankly, I don't even understand why some people are so upset about potential trolls abusing neopronouns. Like, who cares? If I suspect someone is a troll, I will choose to block them or just not interact with them.
Obvious trolls are probably blocked on blahaj.zone regardless. I'm fairly certain if I were to put "(jpavhovwhovsjbjpwvoj/bjevhpvwiyvhosvp)" in my name as pronouns I'd be banned rather quickly.
Neopronouns are strange to me as well but who am I to judge? It doesn't affect me and there are more important things to be outraged about in this world. Like people typing in all lower caps.
yep this is based and level headed thank you
nope. there was no “issue” with the blahaj admins that any significant percent of 196 members cared about. there were only an outspoken minority of members who just wanted to do gender based harassment without repercussions. of which you are included.
