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.

Go try and post to those communities or vote in them, do you think that bans for communities you don't participate in mean nothing. Of course they don't. They deny you access to them. Their description is meant to highlight the reason they occurred, would you prefer future bans have an empty message? I don't think that will change anything you'll still harass and sealion me for you being banned from all future use of a community, and not being able to prevent it.
Now if you are worried about what people think of you based on your modlog incursions you should be worried about the real issues, like you saying that trans people should buy a gun and take out a red hat before doing themselves. That's an utterly atrocious and disgusting thing to say in a trans friendly community, and since it came from you directly, it's way worse than anything I or anyone else could've put in the ban reason.
The feeling is very much mutual dragonfucker. I don't comment on these posts because I want to be your friend or tell you something. I do it because it is public and provides context and information for others, whether you respond or not doesn't make much of a difference to me. Your responses do provide more clarity though that none of this behavior from you is at all good faith.
Drag doesn't want to. Drag never wanted to. The point was always to put what you wanted to say in the modlog. If it weren't for the modlog's visibility, the ban would mean nothing, because drag doesn't want to use those communities. You knew drag wasn't a user of those communities, you knew all this.
Don't misrepresent what was said. If you're going to use drag's comments as evidence, use them. The actual text drag wrote. The text which indicates that drag was not advocating suicide. No lies, please.
Nope but believe what you wanted to believe. Modlog reasons are good moderator etiquette and you would complain to me if I wrote anything else including nothing at all, because the problem was never that I wrote anything, it's that I hurt your pride and instilled a new fear that you could become banned from places without posting or commenting in them.
Nice try, but suggesting suicide when you know that people are suicidal is the same as encouraging them. Feel free to disagree but that's not just my opinion, it's well agreed upon consensus that you don't give people who may be thinking of killing themselves ideas on the method.
It's also well known that you do not ever encourage people to murder others, this is what would be considered illegal or dangerous speech because you encouraged others to cause real world harm. Saying you didn't mean it afterwards doesn't negate it. Maybe some might buy it but I'm not and the mods clearly aren't.
Drag didn't suggest suicide either.
No, that's not true. Every man, woman, and enby (most likely closeted) who went to the front lines of WWII and shot a Nazi dead is a hero. Shooting soldiers of Nazi Germany is an unequivocable good. Drag is proud of all the nazi killers who fought in the war, and who worked in logistics and support roles. Drag is proud of all the workers at home who kept the nazi-killing war machine going, too. Praising nazi killers isn't illegal. It sure is dangerous, though. To nazis. To normal, non-fascist people; to queer people and people of colour; it decreases danger.
