Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1779 readers
28 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.

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


Some acronyms you might see.

That's right, nuttin'! Here's the modlog:

This mod clicked ban, saw the box to put in a reason, and put nuttin' in it.

Jokes aside, the last thing I did in that community was say "mods, remove this slop please", in the comments under an AI generated meme, posted by a mod. I thought that was funny, but it might have been why the mod decided to ban Me. But the mod didn't see any reason to put that in the modlog, which is where reasons to ban people go.

you were probably banned for being a prat. you not only complained about the post, but deleted it from your instance. so why are you here bitching about being banned?

you also went through the effort of complaining on multiple posts, so that certainly isn't going to ingratiate you with the mods or admins.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 13 points 1 week ago

Those are some pretty interesting receipts.

I don't see them complaining on multiple posts.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

then you didn't look. almost every single one of their comments in that comm is them complaining about something regarding the post.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I looked through the first few pages. The most recent comments were on this post, but past that there were comments on other posts, and not about whether those posts were AI slop.

[–] MrNobody@quokk.au 5 points 1 week ago

The OP is a massive troll, they’re in the other thread arguing that “enslaving” ai chatbots is against their vegan belief.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean it's obviously a joke. How are they commenting if it was removed?

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

deleted threads are only deleted for regular users. admins can see and interact with all deleted threads and comments, including those from other instances. as you can see from their modlog, they did in fact delete it from their instance.

Oh weird I did not realize this.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

YDI.

You weren’t welcome there, seems obvious enough. Not sure why a “anarchist” troll like yourself thinks they deserve an explanation.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

deceptichum is the sole mod for that instance. also, you called slop on a meme that was indeed using AI generated images, but so are a ton of other comments in that thread. so its strange that your comment was the only one removed and you banned.

might just be CLM if he thought you were a bot?

edit: or I guess he isn't the sole mod? i have apparently developed a reading disability lol.

second edit: nevermind! apparently the call was coming from inside the house, if ya get my meaning. (YDI)

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they're an admin. they deleted the post in question on their instance, and that's probably why they were banned.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why does that merit a ban?

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they're complaining on every post and deleting the ones they don't like, and you're questioning why that merits a ban. not only that, but they then came to YPTB and lied about being banned for nothing. and you claim to not see the very plainly public constant negative posts they make in that comm, which are clearly listed on their profile. not really sure why you're pulling a Trump fake news over this, but I'm not really interested in finding out. I'm going to just assume you are not being serious and not waste any more time on your nonsense.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The only people that see the deletion are the users on their instance, right? It looks like that's mostly just them. I don't see how this affects anyone else at all.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 week ago

It looks like that’s mostly just them.

yeah, so was their ban. 🤣

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago

I feel like people are getting distracted by your dumb opinions but no ban explanation = PTB in my book. It's that simple.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From reading your replies here and your history, YDI

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 days ago

They are, but so is the mod of that comm so 🤷

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I think they called you slop

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's no rhyme or reason to some of them. I get banned from some subs if I comment too much on the bad spelling or downvote bad spelling.

I think I disagreed with a mod and now I'm a holocaust denier, or something. If mods get to have the last word and we can't refute the libel, then beyond blocking the sub for narcissism I can't be arsed to care more.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly your track record and behavior it's surprising you haven't been banned from more places, or even instance banned completely. Your most recent removed comment is you making fun of a dead 3-year-old. You are legitimately a piece of shit.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago

I don't remember that one. I remember making fun of some parents and the name they choose for kids, but I don't remember making fun of a dead child itself. Did you find someone's straw man? Who says "that's funny she's dead" anyway? That seems excessive.

Sorry I upset you.

Now I wonder what made someone think I'm a h-caust denier. I probably spelled it wrong.
