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.

MODERATORS
I got banned by him once because I pointed out, in rather colorful language, that a personal attack isn’t an ad hominem if it’s not directly used to refute an argument.
It was a three-day temp ban, in response to:
I don't think it was the part about ad hominem that led to the ban.
It's actually been really interesting reading how people summarize the interactions they had with moderators, and then looking at what actually happened, to see the parts they left out of the summary, and the stuff they put in the summary that wasn't there.
The people who attract moderator attention sometimes also tend to argue in bad faith and engage in personal attacks. Who knew.
Oh man, I enjoyed reading those again, so thanks. Brings a tear to my eye, definitely some of my better work.
The mod was clearly entertained by the first one and lauded it a little bit when they removed it, lol.
pls do me im genuinely curious
Ha. Your post seemed perfectly fine, and the heavy-handed censorship of your discussion about moderation is a perfect example of why some people don't have the right temperament for moderation.
Jordanlund bans are very different from FlyingSquid bans. I realize jordanlund was the one who temp banned the parent comment, but mostly I was defending FlyingSquid here, in general. The disparity between "wild personal attacks and wishing suffering on other users = short temp ban" and "question the moderators = permaban from multiple big communities" is exactly a perfect example.
ahaha thanks for your analysis and insight
FlyingSquid actually bans people? Color me surprised
Flyingsquid likes to get other mods to ban people via the .world moderation discord server.
You shills need to calm the fuck down if you ever want to actually influence the general populace.
Oh shit, son. Stop, drop, and roll 🤣🤌🏽🚒👨🏽🚒
