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:

  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.

You talk about shooting people, and tell other people to eat shit. You admit it

And you want the moderation community to think your the victim here?

Was it necessary for people to shoot Nazis in WWII? Was it justified?

Is it ok to say Nazis should eat shit?

I think without knowing the context, maybe we shouldn't just jump to conclusions. Sorry to jump to Godwin's law here so quickly, but it's kinda directly relevant.

Edit:

In response to the article titled "Trump to sign executive order to fundamentally change or get rid of FEMA" Op wrote:

HAHA SUCKS TO BE YOU — any red state that needs FEMA money… Florida, Texas, Louisiana, basically any Gulf of MEXICO state. Eat poop and choke.

Currently sitting at +8, -1.

In response to the article titled "Montana Lawmaker's Bill Would Charge Parents Of Trans Kids With Child Abuse" Op wrote:

All I’m hearing is “kill Montana politicians.” Is that supposed to be the message?

Currently sitting at +21, -0.

These are both in popular coms. It seems to me that Lemmy widely accepts messages like these, and it's disingenuous to pretend like it's not a popular sentiment. This is clearly a conversation we need to have.

OP is saying the quiet part out loud. Responsible citizens keep such thoughts to themselves until they are organized to save their democracy and it becomes absolutely necessary to use violence to do so. The reason is: Violence should always be a last resort and bringing it up publicly all the time makes it seem extremist and scare some comrades.
