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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

at this point, why not setup your own instance + communities so you can do whatever you please?
If it was just this guy, he'd be defederated from everywhere within days.
Yeah many instances don't take kindly to admins using their abilities to circumvent bans, which he would almost certainly do if he were an admin.
What would be the point of that? I'm not interested of going on a banhammer powertrip or create an echo-chamber. I can freely post on .ml since it's not ran by Zionists.
Aside from a few Tankie.World communities there would be no point to making my own instance.
I am suggesting it so you aren’t the one having your posts removed. You would be in control of the content you allow rather than beholden to others
I'm not interested in controlling posts. I am interested in turning people against the Genocidal apartheid regime of israel.
Creating an echo chamber would be defeat that point as nobody who doesn't already dislike israel would post there.
You don’t have to create an echo chamber though. Thats the benefit of having your own instance and community.
It would still require calling out the heavy censorship of other instances such as Lemmy.World as users would not move without that. Especially with the massive amount of gaslighting Lemmy.World users do on a daily basis trying to smear other instances.
How has “calling other instances out” going for you so far?
Great. You should have seen Lemmy.World a year ago. A lot of "nuance" going on back then.
Is that sarcasm?
The part in quote marks is sarcasm
so you genuinely think your harassment campaign is going ”great”?
