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.

So obeying any laws whatsoever is inherently undesirable?
There is a group of Lemmy users that use the "law" to justify their censorship behavior and demands.
It is getting tiring.
But sure if instance owner doesn't wants young people posting on there, they can just block. This silly reasons are just silly though.
Just say you don't want to deal with it and move on.
This appeal to authorita is disingenuous IMHO
It depends on your opinion. Anarchy isn't a prescriptive unitary ideology, and it's got a lot of different things behind it and subgroups and whatever. You can have Stirner's Egoist perspective on laws, being that you just follow whatever laws suit your own ego, or you can have the Illegalists' perspective on laws, that they're all worth breaking.
Not necessarily, e.g., if they align with your values. But age restricting access to a general purpose platform seems very nanny state to me.
Obeying laws that serve no purpose is a bootlicker exercise
Exactly my point.
How about the laws that serve a purpose?
Do you think this is one of those? Do you think a law designed to favor conservative parental rights movements who seek to oppress and own children, and cut them off from their support networks serves a valid or reasonable purpose?
If the law has a clear purpose and that purpose is beneficial to the working class, I don't need it tp be a law. I just go along with it because that's how we make society work.
Now I know you're not only not a real anarchist or have any understanding of anarchism whatsoever but likely a bootlicker too.
