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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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 you can see by pushing back on advocacy for the ruling hegemony, they are being anarchists
No they aren’t. Anarchists would be spending most of their time talking about direct action on behalf of Palestine, promoting individual freedoms and climate policies… you know, anarchist stuff.
Focusing all of your attention and energy on the 2024 US presidential election, but then saying that the most important thing to talk about is that election, and in particular not voting in it, is a suspicious thing for an anarchist to do. It sounds like this person is not an anarchist, and doesn’t especially care about the Palestinians who are almost guaranteed to suffer an increased calamity even above their present holocaust if Trump gets his hand on power. It sounds like this person’s “anarchism” begins and ends with how important it is not to vote for Kamala Harris.
That sounds pretty electoral to me. It doesn’t sound anarchist. Greta Thunberg’s actual statement sounded great to me. The only thing I ever objected to was taking the first few sentences of it, retelling only that part of her statement except flipped around 180 degrees backwards, and then going banhammer-happy when a bunch of people said that that’s clearly not what she meant.
when you are an anarchist, you will get to tell exactly one anarchist what their praxis should be
I know one anarchist who used his authority to tell his software to coerce me into not being able to post anymore. I think your lecture should be more properly directed at him.
I personally feel that I’m allowed to object to people’s conduct when it impacts me, whether or not I am an anarchist or have “earned it” or whatever you are thinking should be a precondition before I can do that.
you can personally object, but all I hear is this
Anyone who unironically uses the word "praxis" should rethink their whole life.
oh no! you found a real anarchist! run!
