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.
- 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
I have been doing calculus the entire day nonstop in preparation to fail my tomorrow's test and my brain is totally fried. I came back to see a completely new sub dominating the top and I can't parse what and why has happened. Can somebody please briefly explain using very small words?
Mods of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone unilaterally decided to lock it and wanted them force everyone to move to !196@lemmy.world
Vast majority of the members were unhappy with the decision and started !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago. 1180 active users, 124 posts.
Thank you very much!
Can't say I'm not glad this happened. 196 was the only community I was banned from (permanently) and thus couldn't vote or comment on good chunk of top posts.
@Blaze@feddit.org One unfortunate side effect of this appears that transphobes previously banned have now been unbanned in both of the new comms
spoiler
Nice of this one to tell on themselves though!
That's unfortunate indeed, feel free to report them, mods should be able to act swiftly
done 🫡
Thank you! 🙏
Why did they want to move it?
They didn't want to moderate and got upset when Ada actually enforced instance rules/dealt with reports that came in

Sorry it took so long, but we've addressed everything in a pinned post
Everything, except the resolution of the whole matter, as you need a vote?
Only like 3 of us are awake right now. So yes, the vote will take time.
~~For the record, I'm voting yes, unlock it. Tbh I didn't even think it should've been a vote, but the opinions were mixed, so...~~
As I'm typing this, we got somewhat of a greenlight to unlock it in spite of the tied vote. So...there lol.
Good news!
