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.
- 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.

I'll happily advocate for the Palestinians' rights to kill as many of the IDF as they can manage. It won't solve their problems, but they've got every right to do it, and nothing else that I can see will solve any of their problems other than better leadership in the US.
I think you've probably understood me pretty well, what you decide about me is up to you just like it is for everyone else.
Don't go to lemmy.world, it's a silly place, for this among some other reasons.
Don't you see the obvious contradiction between acknowledging that palestinian hard that right then censor the people who express that right. You don't have to police how people formulate that right either
When did I advocate for censoring the people who express that right? I think you maybe have me confused with someone else here.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
As someone who suck at fight and would die instantly the least i can do is to support those Palestinians who are fighting the idf terrorists while you are against the death of the occupying soldiers
Valid.
Well, we can still hope somebody else does that.
Me: I like killing IDF people
You: HOW DARE YOU TRY TO CENSOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO KILL IDF PEOPLE
Me: What? I am not censoring anyone, I actually listed that censorship as a reason not to go to lemmy.world
You: IDF DESERVES TO DIE YOU MONSTER, HOW DARE YOU
Is there someone else near to you that I can speak with? Maybe I can explain it to them, and they can explain it to you.
I literally can't tell if you are a bot designed to gin up conflict, or if you're legitimately someone who has this much difficulty in having a normal human conversation with anyone for personal reasons or something. If it's the latter I hope you get better as time goes on.
Weird huh?
It seems unlikely that their participation here is going to be productive lol
You're a modern marvel.
I want to be clear that my beef with you has nothing to do with your opinion on the Palestinian genocide, and I'm not accusing you of being supportive of what Israel is doing.
The only thing I'm calling you out for is your tendency to defend mods that are generally known shitwanks in the Lemmy community for no other reason than you haven't seen it yourself and you're a rules lawyer.
Jeez, I thought I took Lemmy too seriously.
