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
Stop making things up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
??? what did i make up?
he's a yellow bear being paired with tigger, who was supposed to be obama.
Does that really not strike you as racist at all?
That article didn't even say one word about my point.
Han people aren’t being racist against themselves. You making it up if anything is more racist. As if Chinese people can’t make a meme.
Do you believe it's impossible for someone of a race to be or do something racist against themselves?
Honestly, even if you do, he's yellow.
That's all I need as a moderator to ban it, because it's racist to call chinese people yellow.
What does the history even matter?
The notion that i'm implying chinese people are incapable of making memes is hilarious, you should self-reflect.
Get a better charicature that doesn't seem racist. You're just feeding tankies and making yourself look weird.
Well, you're not the mod here, so who cares what you need to ban it?
This is a thread where we give our opinions on what should be bannable or not...
the OP is literally asking for opinions! What do you even think the point of discussing things is?
Do you think if anyone doesn't agree with you, that discussion is pointless, and you shouldn't even hear them out?
no, I think if the person is a tankie, you shouldn't hear them out on an instance on which being a tankie is against the rules.
I'm not a tankie... china is a dictatorship, authoritarianism is evil, all states are evil, fundamentally.
it's amazing that you think the only reason I could find this racist is by being a tankie, I'm also against the soviet union. I am literally working on an anti-tankie document... this is still racist though.
i'm not against mocking xi, in fact I think a non-racist charicature that mocked him would be great, let's just not make it yellow
Right. You're name's Communist, your avatar is red and black, and you keep defending the CCP, how could I have thought you were a tankie? I'm sure you looking and acting like a tankie is just a quirk of your rather regrettable personality.
I have not defended the CCP even ONCE
I just think calling asian people yellow is racist.
The CCP is evil, all states are evil.
If you knew what the red and black flag was you'd know i'm anti-CCP
If winnie the pooh was not yellow from the start, i'd have literally no issue with this.
My bad, it was the other guy who was defending the CCP. I got you confused. That one’s on me.
As for the flag, red and black isn’t just used by anarchists, and your name is literally communist. It isn’t too far of a reach to think you’re a tankie that assumes all leftist symbols are interchangeable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_communism it's literally the flag of anarchist communism (and syndicalism)
It's a far reach unless you assume I don't know anything about my own ideology.
Furthermore, the black ontop is meant to assert that the anarchism is the more important of the two ideologies, hence my usage of that.
