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.

There was another post about goat banning every m@te they saw. They're kinda salty about being featured on yptb.
Very salty we called out their love of fascists on their community, and swears db0 is the evil group for proving it.
Apparently just being from db0 is now against the rules at MoG? TankieJerk thinks you're a fascist now too. I don't always agree with what you say but you're far from being a fascist. Huge yikes from the mods of both communities.
Thank you, I appreciate that fact at least. I don't expect everyone to always agree with me, not even my best friends and family. I am a deeply flawed human, I'll be the first to tell anyone that.
But its just odd that we're both fascists and tankies and anything else because we wanted Harris to win by calling out Trump, saying she'll stop funding Israel, promote popular polices, etc.
Or we're fascists for saying China is not a holy state. Or that murder is bad no matter which side does it.
The reasons why we're fascist-tankies is new each time.
When I first read there, I was also deeply offended. I now see how liberal ideas are deeply rooted in fascist thinking and now liberals are quicker to allow fascist ideology than try to get a different perspective. It's not our fault we've been abused, but healing that is our responsibility.
Goat is a trash mod and really should be blocked by everybody so they can exist in their own lemmy echo chamber that they desire.
I mean the genocide denial and apologia wasn't enough?
And then he said db0 was infested with tankies because we said that the UN and Amnesty International don't call the Uyghur people being mistreated a genocide. We used the official terms used by official agencies, and that meant we deny genocide.
When we agreed the Uyghurs were being mismanaged, but it wasn't genocide because has serious implications and must be called as such when it happens (See: Palestinian, Armenian, Ukrainian), we're somehow denying it, when international organizations don't call it one.
I mean, the tankies aren't denying widespread famine or the mismanagement of Tienamin square, or reasonable criticism of Putin either. We do all have a hard time accepting even our own evidence that our own governments heavily propagandize us. Hearty disagreement may be healthy and productive, but plenty of listening and examining all available supporting and critical evidence, with plenty of time taken to consider and reconsider while asking thoughtful questions, perhaps before asking them would do us all good.
Stop whitewashing tankies.
I mean many of them do?
And many libs are fascist ideology apologists. Dialogue like I mentioned elsewhere itt seems to be a cure no one is willing to take, because the psychological ivermectin is more palatable.
So you lied?
🙄 jungian shadow work works if one wasn't so fragile.
?
What does that have to do with this? I mean you lied about tankies. I don't know why I bother. Marxist leninism is a cult
Most definitely. That's how I first encountered that clown, and it only got worse from there.
ytpb is a fedi gem, an original content form... a place where mod misconduct can be documented on case by case basis and longitudinally. jordan lunds of reddit never face such accountability on reddit. modlog is the reason why fedi gonna win long term.
the drama is just a cherry!
The drama may be entertaining but it doesn't bring out the best in anyone. I get it, though, I've been there. I'm trying to raise my browline just a little.
100%
it is a entertaining but that's the slippery slope like anything else that's "fun":
to quote josh johnson: art can save your life, entertainment WILL kill you

Gotta love Lemmy drama
I hope this is the drama that gets people to realize you're a troll and a tankie sympathizer.
If you feel like have to hide your beleifs and abuse your small amount of power to forward those beliefs then your ideology isn't valid ffs
Yeah mate, I'm a "tankie sympathizer" who made an instance with an explicit anti-tankie rule. I'm playing 4d chess. Fuck outa here.
This drama mostly shows that goat doesn't apply their own principles

How is it supposed to be possible when people get banned just for their instance as seen in the OP
Ironic that this is usually the type of blocking that is criticized on MoG
https://piefed.world/comment/1644630
So you aknowledge them being a tankie sympathizer too
Obv tankies aren't welcome on the anti tankie community lol
You sure are also bending over backwards to defend people with fascist ideologies
I did not, I was pointing out the hypocrisy.
Then goat shouldn't pretend otherwise like in the comment above. Make it make sense.
Did you read that comment drunk?
