Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.

As i said, it's not about drag. Regardless if you think drag is trolling, there are people who identity as fae/faerie. Are you going to tell them they don't exist too?
If they mean 'faerie' as in 'literally one of the fae folk'? Yes, this is not much of a surprise to anyone past the age of kindergarten, but the fae folk aren't real either. Holy shit.
Sounds good. Thanks for making it easy to know who to block
Christ.
Imagine being such a jaded fuck that you can't simply allow someone to identify how they so choose. Eat shit, PugJesus
Imagine being so infantilized that you find the idea that anyone refusing to acknowledge you playing pretend dragon is a violation of your basic dignity.
Not actively and unprompted, but since you're asking: yes, fae aren't real (and if we ever discover them hiding somewhere, I'll happily apologise!).
And no, I'm not a transphobe or whatever label you're gonna try and put on me. But obvious trolls baiting people into getting banned, because dragons aren't real no matter how you "identify", are not a good look for you.
Looks like you prefer trolls to people who actually care about trans issues, in which case: good luck with your communities!
What does it mean to identify as a fae? Do they literally think they're a fae from folklore?
And to be clear, this is a genuine question.
I'm no authority to speak on this, but I can say (gender) identity and pronouns aren't necessarily linked. Some people might lean into the fairy thing for their aesthetic or identity, others wouldn't. Some might use fae/faer pronouns explicitly to break out of the gender binary / ternary, others might just find that these pronouns fit them. I hope someone with more knowledge on the matter could weigh on.
