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 notice that literally 0 of the several people who are lecturing me on how I don't have a right to make this statement have engaged with the trans person who said they feel 100% the same way.
I suspect the reason is that you have no interest in giving the same level of respect you're demanding, and mostly you want to give the lecture, and receiving one would be unacceptable, even from someone who has the same badge of "I'm allowed to give a lecture" that you're trying to cash in.
Honestly? I think you should talk to that person. They might be able to tell you things like "Just because you're trans doesn't mean you automatically speak for all trans people," or "Just because you're trans doesn't mean you automatically are right about everything, yes, even when trans issues are involved." I can't say that, because I have no authority to, it's just offensive. With them, you could have a real interaction, and you, or they, might be able to learn something. As you rightly pointed out, the usefulness of what I have to say on it is going to be limited.
I realized a while ago that me and blahaj weren't going to vibe, and I left them alone to do their thing and me mine. This, however, is a space that I like to call home, to some extent, talking about issues that are important to me. I'm a little bit reluctant for my opinions to get kicked out of it completely because they've intersected with your issues. Hopefully that seems fair.
Again: If you're trying to have this interaction for an exchange of views between qualified people, I'm not the person to talk with. If you're just into the idea of giving a lecture to an unqualified person, but not in that other thing, which to me seems like it would be a lot more useful... why?
