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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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
when nearly every hospital has been demolished it's not realistic to expect that their count is going to be the full picture. I don't know how else to spell that out to you, but the people who disappear under rubble or in the chaos of a hospital being destroyed aren't getting counted
the feeling is mutual
Do you ever think maybe you should read your sources before you post them? This is like the tenth time you've done this.
I truly appreciate you finding a source that so exhaustively backs up my / Supra's earlier claims, and for resoundingly disproving your own. Which wasn't even my goal, I don't even care, the actual genocide is much more important than the semantics you are hyperfixated on. Just move on, dude.
(You can't even think up a better retort than "No, u"?)
it's from June 2024, over a year ago, I hope you at least acknowledge that conditions have deteriorated and systemic errors in counting will remain.
on the report it says that the underreporting is ~40%, if that has continued or increased since then it means that the current stated number in 2025 is going to have a similar undercount. If it's 65k as reported by Hamas now then the real number is probably 40% higher.
This whole exchange stems from the statement that the The US/Israel have killed more trans people via this genocide than anywhere else on earth currently. The counterpoint was that "oh by that logic it's actually Ukraine killing Russians" by obsessing over the numbers rather than the power dynamics at play you tip your hand about where you really stand.
I don't take you seriously enough to continue this further, 'dude'
So you actually didn't read the article or understand the first thing about their methodology / conclusions at all, huh? Or maybe you just forgot to notice that my 65,000 claim is also a year old, because you were quoting a year old comment that used that number? So either the Hamas government was aware of the reporting issue and corrected it (which they publicly did...) or man they sure were good at guessing!
Yeah, I'm glad you're taking my advice to just move on. This has not been a great look for you.
(edit: Those edits.... oof. oof. It's rare you see someone trying to do a revisionist comment history)
