Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don't know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it's not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I'm being snarky, but that "I'm so mature" bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

Nah, I took a break from teaching actually.

Seriously though, you are demonstrating functional illiteracy. You are mixing statements around, which is either intentional and clearly misinformation, or unintentional, in which case you really should get some remedial classes as youre operating at a 6th grade level (struggling with abstract concepts and separate references).

Good luck out there.

You definitely have the temperament of a good teacher...

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 8 points 2 weeks ago

I made the mistake of assuming you were literate, which would mean that you chose to lie about what I said.

In class I know going in that they need to learn the basics. Thats why I'm calm now, I now know you need some assistance. You're not a liar, you just have reading comprehension problems.

Very not mad, yes. Do you recall how quote marks work?

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 7 points 2 weeks ago

Wow right back again to complain about punctuation for a summary!

I can't do this all day bud, so let's recap.

The top is a summary, below there are direct comment quotes and links to them.

You are currently complaining about the use of quotes for paraphrased language, which should ideally be separated with italics or something, but its markdown, so generated summaries usually use quotes instead.

Do you know what a "summary" is?

[-] XLE@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are summaries where I can make up things you didn't actually say, and put them in quote marks?

If that's true, assume I've been summarizing you this whole time 😂

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 8 points 2 weeks ago

where I can make up things you didn't actually say

You've been doing that the whole time, what's the difference?

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1770 readers
16 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
