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.
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.

MODERATORS
Not Relevant, I can't believe it. How is that proper Moderation? That PTB didn't realize that the community they was the self-proclaimed head-honcho would dislike this shit move. By locking the original community they cemented their position as shittiest mod of all time.
I just don't get why they don't unlock it.
how can they still be in power when the original exist. That's my guess why they don't want to unlock it.
That's just pure power tripping.
!android@lemdro.id tried that back in the days locking !android@lemmy.world to channel all users to their community.
Needless to say, the uproar was huge.
Bc Ada does not want to be accused of being a PTB. However, if someone were to wait a couple of weeks, then make a poll asking the members of the community what they wanted, then perhaps she would acquiesce to the owners' (note the plural, I mean the community MEMBERS) desires?
There's another matter too.
Last time that I checked this crap, I was busy criticising Hexbear, because HB was clearly trying to boss Blåhaj around on how it should manage its own instance.
However, both sides are in the wrong here, and Moss isn't exactly blameless - why are they enforcing rules differently for users based on instance? Handling other instances is up to the admins, not community mods.
(The same applies to Threads.)
