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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Cheezus Crust. Just because of one removed comment you got so fucking mald. Get some perspective. YDI. Don't make every post in PTB about drag and neopronouns.
it’s not about drag and neopronouns, it’s about concern trolling…
And yet, that discussion immediately devolved into a drag & neopronouns argument. See how that works? Use other comparisons and less trolly phrasing.
i have zero control over what other people talk about, i certainly wasn’t goading them into….
maybe, just maaaaybe, it’s relevant to mods banning real vegans for “not being a real vegan”.
talking about concern trolling in a post about concern trolling isn’t “trolly” just because you personally don’t like it.
just let people talk about what people want to talk about… it’s not going to hurt anything
Unfortunately I have to look the big picture, and some topics, like drag, tend to dominate posts and unnecessarily heat up discussions in PTB into flamewars. You don't have control, but I do have responsibility to curate this community to be positive and not have every goddamn topic discussing neopronouns. You got one (1) comment removed, ffs. Just use a different comparison.
well you’re treating me as if i’m every other person that brought it up.
sorry but not sorry, it’s a pretty glaring example of concern trolling.
I literally just removed one (1) comment because it's causing this drama yet again. Not everything is meant to a personal affront to you! You really need to get some perpective and chill the fuck out.
I already explained the reasoning so I don't think there's anything left to say here.
But if this thread starts the neopronouns discussion once more, I'm locking it like the rest.
no, it already started… i just won’t engage them, though:

And you shouldn't have done and he is well within his rights to raise your power trip. While his comment don't make much sense, he is definitely not breaking any rules and therefore should not have been removed.
No, it is you who should get some perpective. You are not some infallible human being. You made a mistake. Apologise to him for removing his comment.
Lol. Lmao
How adult from so-called mod when exposed in his gross lack of ability to moderate based on clear rules.
K
/s I guess
oh look, another concern troll.
nice try, pretending like im saying something completely divorced from what i said.
fuck off, troll
ok
lol
i’m mocking you not engaging you, attention starved troll
As long as his comment shouldn't have been removed, your reply is utterly stupid.
You could reply with "just because one innocent had to spend time in prison...".
Do you see how it works?
No comment should be removed on stupid suspicion of trolling (which in practice means mods don't like the views expressed by a user) and mods who do that shouldn't be mods.
Weak. You should have gone straight for the Hitler comparison.
Are you a little bit slow?
You told the guy that it doesn't matter if you were right or wrong removing his comment because it was just one comment. This is a ridiculous reply.
If the comment shouldn't have been removed, than it shouldn't have been removed. If you admit you shouldn't have removed it, than apologise to him rather than trying to ridicule his reaction.
That comment should absolutely be removed. I'm pointing out that even if they disagree with me, it's just one goddamn comment
Quote the rule under it should have been removed, I dare you. Just not ridiculous arbitrary "trolling" as so far I see your comments as trolling more than his - in this thread anyway.
I'm not the kind of person who maintains a 300 page rules document for most to ignore and for a few dedicated others to dig for loopholes. Use your brain, common sense, and If you don't like how the comm is run, feel free to open another. I don't care.
No, you are definitely a kind of person who makes them up when you go along. In this case you even didn't bother to make it up I see, you just blatantly removed his comment because you didn't like it. You should have never became a mod.
Do a decent thing and apologise to him.
You realize I started this comm and this instance ye? Lol.
And?
it's their hardware.
actively disrespecting a user's identity def seems to fit under that
Are you taking the piss? He was referring to a user with identity "dragonfucker". Plus he wasn't disrespecting it. Plus there is absolutely nothing in rule you quoted about disrespect, try to understand what you are reading next time.
Disrespecting a trans user's identity isn't along the lines of hate speech and bigotry in your opinion? I disagree with that.
You don't have to 'get it' to respect it, and assuming that it's concern trolling does more harm than good
Respect or lack of thereof is not in the rule you quoted sweetie. Try to understand what you are reading.
I perceive your comments more as trolling than his.
Lol, blocked
What a wally 🙄
Of course you don't, sweetie. I have seen your other ridiculous comments in this thread.
lmao here, spermaceti.
Try to think again. Slowly.
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, sweetie.
