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

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.

Please don't downvote posts in this comm because you think a ban was justified. That defeats the purpose of this comm.

So, you're telling us how to use this?

Who died and made you God?

Y'all make me gonna power trip all over youse arses!

If a ban is justified, then there is (pretty much by definition) no power tripping, right? So I feel like it definitely makes sense for this community to downvote if the ban is justified.

no this just buries the post and doesn't transfer the info, that this is why the downvote was cast (and not, say because it's off-topic). We have text votes for this, check the sidebar

Ah okay - I will say, the community name is a little misleading. The name makes it sound like it's for exposing power-tripping mods, but the sidebar suggests it is for asking whether a mod action is justified or not. Perhaps a different name would be more appropriate.

It's both. Ultimately it's to point power overreach, but these kinds of places have a habit to turn toxic, so I've structured it in a way which promotes constructive dialogue instead of ranting.

[email protected], the irony. I'll use the downvote button to show that a ban was justified. The entire purpose of this comm is to show mods power-tripping and I shall downvote content that does not fit the theme of this comm.
