Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1718 readers
45 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.

Apparently posting pictures of Nazis being punched in the face on r/pics is ok, but saying this Nazi loving pos should be punched in the face isn't... Apparently that is encouraging violence, and is a problem, but showing violence isn't promoting it and isn't a problem...

Cool 7 day ban, I just won't be going back.

I was trying to upload a screenshot, but app kept saying error, I didn't realize post actually went through till now cause I told app to discard.

Was banned by u/reddit cause I said this lady deserved to be punched in face. Woke up to a permanent ban after appealing ban and suggesting they were Nazi sypathizers.

I don't want a remedy, I want to burn down the Nazi sypathizers platform.

With the additional context of this photo I'd say they were being a PTB.

I tried, got an error every time, didn't even realize the post went through

This is the picture that I said deserved to be punched in the face

current version of lemmy has a bug. make sure the language in the dropdown is set otherwise you will get an error.

Remember, when someone brags about a ban and omits plenty of details you can assume the worst. OP probably posted pictures of newborn babies being punched in the face and argued that all Mongolian babies are nazis or something.

I actually tried to post the screenshot, I didn't even realize the post went through cause I got an error every time I hit submit

That is the lady I said should have been hit in the face

I don’t go by still frames in this context, otherwise I’d believe that a gay leader of one of the polish liberal parties is a nazi too.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you a little bit slow? As this picture is bloody obvious.

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz -5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good luck. You’re doing everything the same way as other countries who already fell to post-truth populism and rage when being told so.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wtf are you even talking about?

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You’re not exactly original in whatever you are doing. I’ve seen it before - it doesn’t accomplish whatever you’re trying to accomplish. You should focus on making an argument that’s going to convince people who aren’t already convinced. Calling Trump a nazi makes you feel good about yourself and not much more.

WTF are you even talking about? Trump is a nazi - that's a matter of facts, not feelings.

If it looks like a Nazi And acts like a Nazi It's a Nazi.

Trump shirt + Nazi salute = Nazi.

Happened to me once, too. Only time I ever got a site ban and it was for agreeing with a post about punching Nazis. The main post stayed up, while they systematically banned everyone who agreed with it for promoting violence. I spammed the appeals inbox until an actual person responded and unbanned me. But it was just another thing that had me looking for alternatives and then the API bullshit happened and Lemmy was brought up. Been here ever since.

Just out of curiosity, how did you know they were a Nazi?

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world -5 points 11 months ago
