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.

100%. It is wrong to elevate roleplay (which, let's be clear, is exactly what this is) to the same level of importance as someone's actual gender identity.
It's a false equivalence and does a huge disservice to trans people who are fighting for their right to even exist.
Don't speak for trans people. Regardless of whether drag thinks drag's an actual dragon or if it's roleplay or just a fun neopronoun, respect people's identities. I don't have to get it. If someone says "I'd like to be referred to as fae," then I'm calling fae exactly what fae wants. I have a friend that uses "love/love" as neopronouns. I don't get it, and yes it can be confusing, but that isn't roleplay or hurting anyone's right to exist. This is exactly the type of infighting that conservatives try to start, and you're either falling for it or white knighting for people that don't need it.
Gender is made up and entirely a social construct, and some people choose to make their own rules because the rules don't actually exist. For some reason that really pisses people off that otherwise think they're being allies.
