Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1039 readers
198 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.

There's no removed comments. I looked through my profile cause like sometimes I just be saying shit so I was okay maybe. But I can't find any comments on that community. Just the old 196.

Idk if this is where to post this but I just wanted to rant. It's my first time ever being banned so it felt ouch.

[email protected] probably did the biggest power tripping move since the creation of Lemmy with their failed attempt at migrating from blahaj to LW without asking the community first.

I wouldn't spend too much time investigating this, [email protected] is a much better community

Yes. Shows how much of the failure the migration attempt is.

tbh this is a win. use [email protected] or [email protected] instead.

Look to me like it must have been a mistake because I don't see any trolling, so on that basis I'd call it a CLM in this case. If it was intentional, then PTB.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was intentional I checked to see which mod it was and they've done it before in the past. There was a post here a while back where that mod was banning random people.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've messaged the mod to ask for them to clarify the ban reason. I guess we'll see if there's any response.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I doubt they will, they went inactive a while back and other mods haven't been able to reach them. Maybe they will respond though, I hope so, I'm not holding my breath though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Oh well if they have scarpered then problem solved I guess.

Most likely PTB.

The ban seems to be a month old or so. The only activity from your account that I've seen there was this post, that seems completely ~~rule~~ OK. And the vague "trolling" message reinforces it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Fuck, you're right - I derped.

Anyway, it's still likely PTB. Power-tripping bastards love those vague ban messages.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

PTB, they have a history of unfairly banning users in the past.

As evident by the modlogs and the previous post about them here:

I've cleaned up the comment threads on this post and unlocked it again. Please try to stick to the specific post topic, rather than regurgitating old grievances.
