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.

The joke was started by the Chinese on WeChat. No, it doesn't seem racist, unless you mean it's racist to appropriate Chinese memes?
Can chinese people not do racist ignorant things? I've known many ethnic minorities to make racist charicatures of their own race, I don't really see your point
You're brainwahsed and should self reflect
Your evidence that i'm brainwashed is that I think a yellow, slow, lazy bear is kind of a weird portrayal of a chinese man?
Xi is a dictator and evil, I believe that, in fact, you know very little about my beliefs... I don't think the fact that I think it's weird to call chinese people yellow means i'm brainwashed, and the fact that that's what you'd jump to over such a small difference of opinion indicates to me that YOU are in fact brainwashed.
I think you all go into anti-tankie mode whenever someone says anything you disagree with.
This time instead of typing shit to deflect, turn off your computer, and self reflect
I bet you haven't turned your computer off in a long time.
ok, sorry I'm not racist enough to be cool like you
Well, when a Chinese person tells me it's racist and they're offended, I'll stop using it. Not really interested in what some white, probably American middle-aged dude cosplaying an armchair communist for the aesthetics thinks is offensive.
weird that you're making so many assumptions about me to feel okay with something kinda bigoted.
edit: I really don't get it... he's a yellow squinty eyed slow stupid lazy bear
He's yellow, you got that right. And that's the only thing. He's not squinty, slow, stops, or lazy. Similarly, Obama isn't orange and bouncy.
Idk man, we haven’t seen Obama walk in a while, maybe he grew a tail and bounces on it.
Poohs defining characteristic is being gluttonous and lazy... that's why he says oh bother about everything, and i've certainly never seen him be intelligent... i guess the anthropomorphic bear is capable of speech and that qualifies?
None of that really matters to me, honestly, him being yellow is simply enough.
The only racist here is you dude, holy shit...
How exactly?
I don't need to make the assumptions to feel okay with it, the assumptions are just for fun on the side. I don't need to justify myself to you, and you failed to make me feel bad about it in the first place.
Now I bet you need a hug, come here.
Life is fun when you play pretend, let me know when you want to be an adult though
