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
Both sides would genocide the other in a heartbeat if given half a chance - it's just that one side currently has the means to and is actively doing so.
That said, lemmy.ml is well known for its authoritarian and entirely non-transparent moderation style, which is not communicated to new users well in the slightest and generally they find out after having been banned. Well, now you know.
Read more at https://feddit.nl/post/16246531, and there's an entire community at !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works dedicated to exactly this topic:-)
The problem is that right or wrong, the admins of Lemmy.ml are the developers of the Lemmy codebase, so the issue is not so much that Alt-Left tankies have taken over a centrist forum space so much as the latter has decided to move in encroaching upon the space literally designed for the former. And there are very few to no open source alternatives, though PieFed is making great strides and Sublinks was at one time too (and hopefully will again).
Yeah just like how jews and the resistance would've genocided the nazis, right? Both sides!!!
Emancipitory movements have not had a backlash once given freedom the way you suggest throughout history. Take the South African apartheid or US slavery as examples. Hell, you're more likely to get an Israeli KKK than a genocide attempt against Israelis.
