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.

Those are all PTB too. Most of the bans are also for communities drag has never posted in.
Perhaps drag should make a separate PTB post for each ban on a community drag has never been to. Drag already has two PTB threads for different isssues:
https://lemmy.nz/post/15935996
https://lemmy.nz/post/15899389
The modlog also shows direct evidence that drag has advocated violence against transphobic fascists, which should make it clear which side of the issue of trans rights drag falls on. Drag is trans and fights very strongly for trans rights. Drag would never and has never misgendered anyone.
Uhm.... Yes you did.
And just so you know, you did that to a mod of said community.
So this is more than justified' YDI.
No, drag didn't. Drag assumes you are talking about the time that drag used a "they" pronoun to refer to a family member of Flying Squid during a discussion with him. Here are Squid's explanations of the etiquette in that situation:
There. Three repeated assurances from the mod, that "they" pronouns are acceptable, and one of them is directly talking about the specific person. The "misgendering" is a manufactured conflict. Drag promised to respect this mod's wishes, and drag always has. The ban is for nothing.
Be whoever you want to be, but be aware you are doing this to yourself.
Advocating for murder should get you a total ban from every instance already.
Your brand of performative outrage and victimhood isn't good for communities you want to participate in, regardless.
Let's just discuss this one issue on this thread. If you want to argue the removal of the nazi-killing comments is justified, go make a different thread. Drag doesn't care about that. We're talking about the Ten Forward accusation that drag is a transphobic troll. Unless perhaps you meant to say that drag is a transphobic troll because drag advocates nazi killing? But that doesn't sound likely.
Your being preemptively removed from communities based on your reputation. That is well deserved. If you want to rules lawyer every ban, your going to be a very busy Dragon Fucker.
