Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1360 readers

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.

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


Some acronyms you might see.

That would kinda suck though. And also your brain would be so damaged by the money you wouldn't be able to enjoy anything.

I don't know, man. Drugs and women. All my money would go to that. I feel I could enjoy a lot of stuff with that much money. Not to mention I would buy a huge Lemmy instance just to annoy and shitpost. Welcome to UniversalMonkWorld baaaabbbyyy!!!!

You have higher morals than me. :)

drugs and women

You think so. You think you'd be able to enjoy that. Look at elon musk. You think it's happy?

I think he would be happy if he didn't care what people think. I need his money, with my personality tho. :)

Youbcant have that money without being like that. It's not allowed.

And even if you coukd; the money does some of it to you. Very very few people are able to stay human while getting wealthy. This has actually been studied.

Starting to become noticable at ~the 6 figure line in pre pandemic usd, not adnusted for regional COL, you start to lose your mind. Thats just when you see the first symptoms, mind you. I dont know where the 'there's no person left' line is.

I don't believe any of that. But I could be wrong. I only wish I could find out and then let ya know how I'm doing

Theres a body of research about the psychological effects of inequality The scientist whose name i remember is paul piff, for obvious reasons. So there's a starting point.
