Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1050 readers
103 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.

Apparently I don't have the mods account it's just verified on the app. Seems like mods on certain comms just make up whatever placeholder reasoning when you don't break the rules. I thought you had to blame the victim to victim blame and my post didn't blame anyone for anything.

Looking at your responses in the most favorable way you are using the word accept in a different way than what people typically mean when they say "accept your family". Comment should still be removed, though.

Yeah I can't blame people for not understanding me and thinking a completely different thing based on one word I used

YDI, telling someone to accept their abusive parents on a mental health community absolutely is victim blaming. Seriously, they probably should've banned you for that one it's just extremely shitty and unhelpful, possibly even dangerous.

Wrong I said accept that they're negative person. Completely different

I'm the mod. If you want to see which mods do what, https://phtn.app/ shows it all iirc.

This was the context you left out: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38049576

A post on !mentalhealth@lemmy.world of you telling someone they should accept their abusive parents. Seriously? And you think comparing yourself to their father is a good thing?

Really? You think you can go to a mental health community and tell victims to just accept their abusers? Read the room, man. I just inherited the community, too, so i'm not done actually revamping the rules.

I, and anybody else who had abusive parents would look at this and flat out say YDI.

I said accept that their father is a negative person, not accept their abuser as you put it. It's actually good advice are they supposed to think constantly about their father is verbally abusive, not repress it?

That may be inappropriate and I may disagree with him but it is not a victim blaming. He may have broken other rules (I am not familiar with that particular community) but not this one.
