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.

You kind of seem like a shitlord that brings negative vibes whenever possible, just from comments alone.
How was I negative?
"Cope," "seethe, "cry harder;" as examples. Basically just stuff that would harsh the mood if we were all just chilling at a pub. It's cool that you have different ideas, but there's a certain toxicity to calling out the misfortune and fears of others that promotes negativity in the community.
You can celebrate your win and different perceptions in ways that don't feel as rude, hateful, and divisive. You don't have to, but that means people aren't going to like you or want you to be a part of the discussion.
Honestly, it's hard to not make fun of your opponents when they lose. We do it everywhere. Like in sports. I guess you're right though. Considering the tense nature of the community, I shouldn't have let the urges get the better of me. Thanks for the reply.
Oh gosh, it's SO hard not to kick people when they're down. So glad to hear such an untoxic sentiment from such a good sportsman.
I suppose you have never made fun of anyone in your entire life?
I'm making fun of you right now. I just don't think losing is something worthy of ridicule.
Humans do it all the time.
Humans also murder each other all the time. Doesn't mean they should.
I feel that, though sport is kinda in the name, and playful banter makes sense. When we get into politics and laws, people's futures, there's more on the table than just teams. Nobody is worrying about their children and family members when a sports team gets thrashed.
And of course, you deserve proper input and not the same hurled right back.
Counterpoint: if you put toxic bullshit out into the world, don't cry "they're picking on me" when you get toxic bullshit directed back at you.
Agreed 100%, I just wanted to take the opportunity to explain a simple concept that their parents may have never given them.
True.
