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
What are you counting so "accurately," Clyde? Do you have an "accurate" tally of all the Israelis the IDF slaughtered on Oct 7 because murdering Palestinians is far more important to them than keeping their own people alive?
Don't feign ignorance... seems to me that you know exactly what you are doing here.
If you look at the actual post you're commenting on, you should be able yo figure it out, I have faith in you Bob!
Then you sould have no problem providing us with these "accurate" numbers of yours, shouldn't you?
Again, if you uhhh, look at the post to which you are referring, you'll find them! I still believe in you!
If you really are having difficulties reading the post etc, just let me know.
Why do you insist on talking like the most insufferable Reddit loser imaginable?
Holy shit kid, I was going to give an actual response but then, good God, read your comment history. You seem determined to be miserable at people.
I hope you are more pleasant in real life and/or things get better for you.
Take care.
Those people never are.
It just seems wild to me. They have almost 2K comments and if they're mostly like this... Like, it doesn't seem enough to be trolling just... unpleasant? Blech.
Little boxbrain also loves Stalin.
Go back to Reddit, loser
1,758 comments in ten months with a 34% up/down ration, I can't imagine choosing to spend so much time being so unpleasant and seemingly unhappy.
Holy shit go back to Reddit
Soooo... you don't have "accurate" tallies?
In the post, the thing about which you are commenting, there's the death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage.
I provided both in the comment in this post.
I have no idea what accurate tallies you are demanding or what they would have to do with the Guardians headline. Are you a bot?
