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.

Yes, and?
that was my point
That doesn't make your comment less transphobic, and it doesn't make you and @Cowbee@lemmy.ml any less juvenile for bickering like this on an unrelated post.
ah, i apologise. that wasn't my intention with my comment.
my intention was that the bill would separate the definitions to better define discrimination and make it more suited to diverse people
Then what was your intention in using transphobia as a weapon against someone you dislike. It wasn't like you had a genuine attempt at educating someone. You were just using it as a tool to win an argument. THAT is also tranphobia bestie.
you can't use logic with extremists, as their positions aren't based on logic
my intention was to highlight hypocrisy, pointing out that the context for imaqtpie's transphobia was him agreeing with Nutomic's transphobia
And I agree with neither of them, and you know that, yet you tried to use it as an argument against me. imaqtpie posted in your comm and you didn't remove it.
Ah, ah, you tried to use imaqtpie's transphobia as an argument against me. I responded in kind. I can't remove admin comments, and I told him to stop commenting and posting in my community.
Much more than you have done to Nutomic
You said you didn't see transphobia in your comm, and I linked you a highly upvoted transphobic comment. Even if you disagree, others clearly agreed in your comm. You cultivated that.
As for me, I've called out Nutomic already, numerous times. I mod no comms on Lemmy.ml.
And I can't remove admin comments and responded to him in kind already.
That's more than what you've done.
No, it isn't more than I've done, again I've called nutomic and imaqtpie out and you've fostered a comm where transphobia is upvoted regularly.
Regularly, you say? Well, where is it? I'll nip it in the bud right now if it exists
Why do you believe transphobia is highly upvoted in your comm?
There are other ways to call him out than using my community as your weapon.
They'll use communities to explain why someone is bad but still copies the attacks on them.
Happy cake day, goat.
thank you pal i love you
