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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.

OP I think you should relax. I get what you're trying to do but you have to understand "Okay we're going to ban you" as a very predictable result of the personal nature of how you've chosen to approach it, and repeatedly trying to send the same message to people who have indicated they want you to stop. YDI
This did not say that, read the modlogs again. The horse has also indicated they dont want to be chained up, ridden on and imprisoned.
The lemmyworld instance is allowing disagreement on posts, So folks are allowed to make such comments.
"Disagreement" is fine, as was your initial comment mostly. Once someone's heard your message, and explained to you that they don't want to hear more, that is their right to do, and you need to stop repeatedly trying to communicate further specifically to that person that same specific message. The fact that you feel they are violating some other type of right in some other context doesn't change that.
It's a very different thing, saying that your general opinion is that horses shouldn't be kept as domestic animals. That I don't think anyone would have an issue with. It's totally different when you are telling one specific person that they are bad, and not stopping repeating the message when asked to, or even when banned. I don't think there is really any well-moderated forum where that's allowed.
LW ToS section 8.1 Do No Harm

Had OP backed up their claim with a peer review study on how horse captivity is harmfulness to them, then LW admins would have had to remove this post to comply with their ToS.
Actually, they provide one below: https://beva.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.2746/0425164044848000
@[email protected] FYI
Hm, to me that only says that having weight on their back changes how the horse moves and “may” contribute to some types of injury. It doesn’t say there’s any indication that it is bad for the horse. Do you or they know of a study that says there is?
@[email protected] ?
...Have they indicated that? We've only been shown a picture of a horse. That's not enough to make that very aggressive claim.
Did you miss the chain or the cells?
No, I saw them. My point stands. Is there any thing to indicate the horse is unhappy about the chains, cells or rider? From the post itself, we have to assume the horse is pretty chill about their circumstances. Why do you assume otherwise?
The policy is not currently in place. But if it were, it does specifically say a small amount and respectfully.
If you went with
And left it at that, it would have fallen under that policy, if it were in effect. As it is, with heavy passive aggressiveness and sarcasm, well, you're on your own.
Everyone knows the Lemmy.World admin is very anti-vegan. Have a goodnight.
