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.

If there was an armed thug murdering defenseless children on a street, and there was someone calling to kill the thug to stop children being murdered, would you ban the person calling to defend the children?
See the Francine Hughes case re: self defense and how it is completely legally defensible to light your abusive husband on fire while he sleeps, per US law. Self defense isn't generally considered violence and isn't generally labeled as violence either.
So why can we only talk about the violence committed by corporations and billionaires, and not talk about self defense?
Ofc, there are many ways to resist nonviolently, here is a free book about it: https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501756061/pranksters-vs-autocrats/#bookTabs=1
The thug is old and senile so that makes it ok.
You, sir, need to separate real life from the online world.
Nobody is saying not to intervene in real life actions happening before you. But if you want to be the "Internet Tough Guy", yes, that bullshit will get removed.
Answer the fucking question.
If you advocate for violence in our communities, your comment will be removed. Full stop. I don't see how I can make it clearer. Do you need single syllable words?
Answer the fucking question. Simple yes or no will suffice.
I can't answer yes or no to a disingenous question asked in bad faith:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question
That isn't a loaded question lol, per your own link, it is a direct question asking for a clarification of your morals. You're just too dishonest to engage with it.
I will absolutely engage in good faith questions. That's a bad faith question which has been asked and answered.
Lemmy communities are not the real world and promoting violence is not accepable in them, full stop.
They don't like that answer because it's the truth.
You literally didnt answer their specific question you gaslighting prick
Their specific question is dishonest, it doesn't deserve an answer.
The answer is as stated:
Our Lemmy communities ban advocating for violence. If you want to do that, take it outside our communities.
You're projecting your dishonesty and you just now admitted you lied previously when you claimed you answered it.
The question has been answered. It's a disingenous question that has no bearing on any lemmy community.
It hasn't been but keep chanting it so your mind stays calcified, ya fucking moron
You can sweetie, you just don't want to 🤣
I absolutely can, you just won't accept the answer you deserve.
Come into one of the communities I mod preaching violence, you're going to have a bad day. Suck it.
Go on, sweetie. Is the answer "yes" or "no"
I did. Is it a yes or no, sweetie?
Still waiting for the non-dishonest question.
Do you accept that you cannot advocate violence in [email protected] ? Come on, it's a yes or no question.
Make it easy, say "No" so I can permaban you and save the trouble later.
Why are you slapfighting?
Because this group seems to love it. :)
At least you're honest about engaging in behavior you selectively don't tolerate when it comes from people you disagree with.
Answer the question, you coward.
Yes, which is why comment "Israel has a right to defend themselves" should be banned as it is a direct call to murder yet more civilians including children. On the other hand calls to kill IDF should be allowed as long as they refer to Palestinians - as they are allowed to kill IDF soldiers under international law.
You should ban yourself for your genocide apologism.
Israel got attacked by Iran.
Israel has the right to defend itself.
Iran got attacked by Israel.
Iran has the the right to defend itself.
Are you comprehending how this works yet? I really don't think you do.
Palestinians are slaughtered by IDF and have right to kill IDF soldiers. Comprende?
Answer the question, you coward.
They can do that all they want, off lemmy. If they advocate for it in a lemmy community, it will be removed. Same as if the IDF came in and said "kill 'em all". Not allowed in the lemmy community.
Please learn to differentiate real world rules from lemmy community rules. There is a difference.
You are not going to answer the question, you coward?
I have answered yours with a simple yes.
I've already answered it multiple times, if you can't accept it, then that's a problem between your ears.
If you advocate for violence, and mods see your comment, it will be removed. Really that's the end of it. Do NOT say on lemmy that anyone deserves to be killed or harmed. Do not celebrate on lemmy anyone being killed or harmed.
If it pops up in a report, it gets removed. If mods see it organically, it gets removed. If you keep doing it, you get temp banned. If that ban expires and you keep doing it, you get permabanned.
Each step of the way you get a warning. Not acceptable. You then have a choice. Learn from your mistake and get better, fuck off and don't come back, do it again and get banned, or come to PTB and be a whiny little bitch about it. Sometimes a combination of any or all of the above.
Stop lying. You haven't answered my question:
Yes or no. Answer the simple question, you coward.
Again, dishonest question. Where does the lemmy community enter into it? It doesn't? Oh well then there's nothing here for me to reply to. Try again.
No answer. I thought so.
Wow, amazing how Jordan can't answer a question. No wonder .world loves him, he's a politician for the mod team.
.world don't love him. His dogmatic stand on violence is very unpopular
With how unpopular and dumb your dogmatic thinking is . Good luck stopping the chant
It's super simple... people break the rules, they catch comment removals and bans, they come here to bitch, you look at their modlogs and realize they're nutjobs.
Seriously... I mod 3 large lemmys. I banned LustyArgonian in ONE of them and they're going crazy here. Check their modlog:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=2&actionType=All&userId=6925869
Moddable behavior going back almost a year and not just in my community and not just from me.
Yes,people break stupid rules an you will not stop it. You the type of guy who would support extreme laws that restrict people fundamental right and support it because you are a stupid dogmatic guy
Whether they think the rules are "stupid" or not is irrelevant. If they want to participate in the group they can abide by them or they can find a different community.
Here's someone I just banned for pushing pro-Israeli lies about the genocide, expect to see them posting here any minute now:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=89129
It is.We are in a community here to critisize mods. Just because you banned and punished some pro israel doesn't change the fact you are a dogmatic mods who cqn't convince why your rule make sense
