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.

Funny, coming from 'Dark Thoughts'.
Anyway, please continue enjoying using lemmy (on your computing machine almost certainly built by slave labor) to be aghast at an apt description of modern liberals, who also fully support drone strikes, extraordinary rendition, arming an ally committing a genocide, etc.
Yep, no murder or violence involved in being or supporting modern western liberalism, no sir.
The point was to illustrate that liberals, at scale, in their preffered national and world order, despite their claims to support equality and fairness and social justice, are actually fine with routine murder and exploitation, just as long as its obfuscated and justified through layers of organizations and bureacracy, done indirectly...
...whereas actual leftists, at bare minimum, acknowledge that this is the actual reality, that modern society ultimately just has a bunch of byzantine rules which justify and minimize the deaths and exploitation of some groups of people, such that others benefit from this.
The point was not to shame you personally and myself moral grandstand personally for existing and functioning in this world.
But you missed that and took it personally, and then switched into your venomous, hateful, vindictive, true self, after first doing the (i guess more moderate?) tactic of implying i am a dangerous person who may potentially murder any random person.
I could not have asked for a more perfect example of liberal narcissitic two-faced hypocrisy if i tried.
