Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1339 readers
144 users here now

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.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said "death, death to the IDF".

After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as "acargitz") pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.

Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.

In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American "(again)", though I couldn't see the first time. It's not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.

Bonus points for the "DC Comics" removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.

Still waiting for the non-dishonest question.

Do you accept that you cannot advocate violence in !world@lemmy.world ? Come on, it's a yes or no question.

Make it easy, say "No" so I can permaban you and save the trouble later.

Answer the question, you coward.

Do you accept that you cannot advocate violence in !world@lemmy.world

Yes, which is why comment "Israel has a right to defend themselves" should be banned as it is a direct call to murder yet more civilians including children. On the other hand calls to kill IDF should be allowed as long as they refer to Palestinians - as they are allowed to kill IDF soldiers under international law.

You should ban yourself for your genocide apologism.

Israel got attacked by Iran.
Israel has the right to defend itself.
Iran got attacked by Israel.
Iran has the the right to defend itself.

Are you comprehending how this works yet? I really don't think you do.

Palestinians are slaughtered by IDF and have right to kill IDF soldiers. Comprende?

Answer the question, you coward.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They can do that all they want, off lemmy. If they advocate for it in a lemmy community, it will be removed. Same as if the IDF came in and said "kill 'em all". Not allowed in the lemmy community.

Please learn to differentiate real world rules from lemmy community rules. There is a difference.

You are not going to answer the question, you coward?

I have answered yours with a simple yes.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I've already answered it multiple times, if you can't accept it, then that's a problem between your ears.

If you advocate for violence, and mods see your comment, it will be removed. Really that's the end of it. Do NOT say on lemmy that anyone deserves to be killed or harmed. Do not celebrate on lemmy anyone being killed or harmed.

If it pops up in a report, it gets removed. If mods see it organically, it gets removed. If you keep doing it, you get temp banned. If that ban expires and you keep doing it, you get permabanned.

Each step of the way you get a warning. Not acceptable. You then have a choice. Learn from your mistake and get better, fuck off and don't come back, do it again and get banned, or come to PTB and be a whiny little bitch about it. Sometimes a combination of any or all of the above.

Stop lying. You haven't answered my question:

If there was an armed thug murdering defenseless children on a street, and there was someone calling to kill the thug to stop children being murdered, would you ban the person calling to defend the children?

Yes or no. Answer the simple question, you coward.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Again, dishonest question. Where does the lemmy community enter into it? It doesn't? Oh well then there's nothing here for me to reply to. Try again.

Wow, amazing how Jordan can't answer a question. No wonder .world loves him, he's a politician for the mod team.
