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.

196 is just a community hosted on Blahaj, it's rule is "post something before you leave" which is why all the posts on it have "rule" in the title.
The "drama" comes from the Blahaj.zone instance
ahh so 196 is a blahaj zone community then? then is has to follow general blahaj zone rules right?
Yes, however bans in question were handed out by instance admins iirc
then I don't get what the problem is, the admins make the rules for their instance, communities in those instances follow those rules, if not they can move to other instances, see the star trek communities for examples. the admins are making a hard stance on this issue and have the right to enforce the rules they state they will enforce.
Just like people have a right to come to this community and say they think it’s a silly rule. We all are within our rights, hooray.
so if we are all within our rights then the admins were justified with their bans , I'm glad you agree.
"Within their rights" and "justified" are not the same thing.
so somebody who has right is not justified when exercising those rights? like whats your point here? the admins make the rules, they say they will enforce the rules, its entirely within their rights to do it, and people get upset when they do it? if you dont like it then go somewhere else, theres other trans spaces on lemmy, try beehaw, or make your own. i swear your all acting like children who dont want to get told no, nobody is making you interact with these people or this space, your choosing to do so, why does it matter so much to you?
Yeah, like how one has a right to freedom of speech, but that doesn't make it right to spread rumors.
Like, this is literally the triggering event that caused me to leave Blahaj, that's exactly what I'm doing. I don't know why complaining about something that I feel is absurd is such a deep offense to you.
you don't have the right to do something intentionally malicious, and spreading rumours is malicious.
and if your leaving then why spend time getting upset over it taking to people like me? send like a waste of time to me.
Not everyone sees spreading rumors as malicious. In any case, surely you see the point that 'rights' as in 'what someone is allowed to do' and 'right' as in 'what is just, moral, or upstanding' are not synonymous now.
I'm bitching about it on a comm for bitching about moderators. I didn't think this was complex, but apparently, that's too much to parse.
rights are something you have as a person, they can't be taken away, and grant you privilege to do things without question or interference. that does not mean people won't try to infringe upon them however. you dont't have rights to hurt or infringe upon others rights.
rights are not "what your allowed to do" or synonymous with things like the law. if you need to expressly be given permission for any act then it isn't inherently a right, and instead defined by social contact, and that changes depending on the society and the individuals place in it. I think you think I'm referring to social contact as per your example of spreading rumours, and perceiving the act as moral or not.
also it's funny just to watch you complain. cry harder you didn't get your way.
People question the validity of those rules, to my understanding that's where the drama begun. There's an individual who refers to themselves with other pronouns than "I" (ex. they don't say "I went elsewhere" but "word went elsewhere") and people think it's a troll.
neopronouns have been a issue of discussion for a long time on blahaj zone. multiple people have been caused discussions over the history of the instance, many discussions exactly like the earlier one. the admin said themselves that the recent post was not spurred by any incidents or individuals in particular, and the instance has always moderated in this way, long before this incident. it has repeatedly been stated that neopronouns are the norm, accepted, and protected on blahaj zone. most of the people who are complaining are not from blahaj zone anyways.
