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.

I understand what you're saying, but violence is necessary.
Peaceful protest is all but impossible and uneffective in the current political landscape.
I don't think we can take back our world through political means anymore. The rich have been waging a culture war and winning it. And if you don't believe me, just look at the fascist tilt in recent elections.
I'd love to be proven wrong but the longer I look at the situation, the more it seems like a return to the guillotine is the way to go.
Yeah, indifferent to your side/angle/cause, you have to play by the rules. Its not the 90s internet anymore. Either play smart by the rules or find an alternative.
Edit I do condone any form of violence or calls of action to.
Violence should only be used against billionaires. Moreover, I think any site or gathering place is in its rights to have that within its rules.
However, violence must be maintained as a clear alternative because peaceful protest and political action only when backed by that credible threat. It should also only be used when it is clear the other avenues are not sufficient.
And if we remove that from all gathering places, we have kneecapped our ability to stand against tyranny when we need it.
