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 mean, apparently so, but I was not operating under the assumption that "We don't believe in gender, this is all roleplay" was the base state of the instance, and many others seem surprised by it too.
Three feet to your right is "trans women are roleplaying women". You may not hold that view explicitly, but the rules around respecting identity in that instance exist for that reason. And that means accepting identities that are challenging, even if they are being used by shitty people.
It's not about the person being shitty, it's about the identity itself being absurd and contradictory to reality.
You missed the point of the comment you're replying to. To a lot of people, garden-variety binary trans people are "absurd and contradictory to reality". To even more people, nonbinary people are.
Blahaj lemmy's admins have decided that they will not draw a line, because they don't want to be the arbiters of what is valid. That does mean some extreme cases don't get decided the way you would, and that's fine! Just block those cases.
Whatever identity they have, I don't care. The internet's big enough for everyone. It's not my problem, not my life, live and let live.
You're so close to getting my point. It's like right there.
"Transphobes hate trans people because they don't think trans people are real; therefore, in order to not be transphobic, you must admit reality doesn't exist" isn't very compelling.
Most ordinary folk would opine that transphobia is bad precisely because trans folk do exist in reality and are valid.
They're exactly the opposite of what he just said.
