Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1718 readers

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.


Some acronyms you might see.

There are 9 rule 7s here and 4 of them are obviously written by communists criticising liberals. Rule 7 is supposed to protect the community from libs but the biggest turbolib I see here is db0.

Fuck's sake this is worse than lemmy.ml

Your definition of "liberal" confuses me.

The comments broke the rule, the mod removed them. If you don't like the rules, why not make a new community? It takes like a minute to spin one up.

YDI. electoralist apologia is liberal cringe, and these rules couldn't be more clear. Doesn't matter if you yourself are anti-electoralist. The rule is about bringing electoralist apologia into !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which you still did.

I didn't bring any electoralist apologia in. In fact, I was criticising the electoralists who are so determined to effect change with their votes instead of direct action, that they're withholding their votes to try and influence electoral politics.

Bro literally made a dogshit post screeching about anti-electorialists in a community that has a rule against screeching about anti-electorialists, and the post got removed for breaking that rule.

The injustice is insane...!

I expected you'd get salty about it and post here. It's a simple rule (7) peeps, no anti-anti-electoralism inside flippanarchy. That includes your "I'm anti-electoralist too but if you don't vote, you suck" shit-take.

Pretty much, nobody using the term turbolib unironically is ever going to be on the good side of any issue.

And that proves true in this case as well. No power tripping here

Rule 7 literally says turbolib in the rule description...

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did I stutter?

Nobody but jackasses use the term.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 1 points 17 hours ago

So given that db0 used the term, you're saying he's a jackass and perhaps a ptb?
