Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1366 readers
36 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.

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


Some acronyms you might see.

MODERATORS
 

This guy is clearly snooping the downvoters as an instance admin and retaliating against them. Wouldn't even have noticed if I didn't stumble onto the modlog in Voyager by accident.

I might be of course wrong in my assumption. But I don't remember ever interacting with anyone from that instance, I'm not subscribed to those communities and the dates correlate.

Piefed uses voting agents for this reason. It's not perfect, but it's better than this shit.

Isn't dubvee a personal instance? The admin is probably using bans as blocks

Hm, apparently it has 43 users. Still

43 users is still a friends and family instance, maybe colleagues too. Look at his registration application criteria:

In the field below, say you’re from WV without saying you’re from WV.

While it might seem broad enough to include anyone who isn't his friends or family it is vague enough that the intention is clear that he only wants friends, family, or colleagues to signup there.

Dubyakay isn't in your example conversation. They seem unrelated

Extremism - Implicit variety. Pattern of downvoting content that denounces targeted violence / vigilante justice, upvoting content in support of.

https://dubvee.org/site/dubvee.org

As an instance, we're pretty heavily moderated in order to maintain a welcoming atmosphere that fosters civil discussion. We don't "tone police" everything, but we do expect users, local and remote, to behave themselves and act in a rational, civilized manner. Those who cannot, local or federated, are quickly shown the door.

Absolutely No Extremism

Implicit Extremism:

  • Patterns of upvoting or boosting posts/comments that explicitly praise, endorse, or advocate for violence (or any of the 'explicit' items above)
  • Patterns of downvoting posts/comments that denounce violence or those that advocate for lawful/peaceful solutions.
