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
which reaction? clearly stating that a rule would be enforced strictly before enforcing it strictly?
come on, man, you’re better than this lmao
The reaction mandating the legitimization of someone all-but-identifying as an attack helicopter. This is the sort of thing that if I saw in a satire of online trans spaces, I would have rejected as an excessively absurd exaggeration even for mean-spirited satire.
I suppose I thought too highly of people.
Admin specifically endorsed attack helicopter as an identity.
I would say that, in all fairness, that could be read not as an endorsement of the idea of attack helicopter as a gender itself, but as a defense of it in reclamation/shibboleth/slang term, the way that some queer folk playfully call themselves 'faeries' despite the history of the term, without meaning to imply that they are literally the fae folk of yore.
... but her actions regarding drag do not inspire confidence in that interpretation.
