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.

DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated…..

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

Locking this topic because y'all clearly can't stop trying to argue politics. Please use the relevant comms instead and not the comments of YPTB posts.

This is also blatant misinformation. No judge ever made a finding that he was associated with MS-13. The government asserted it in court but it's never been proven. The immigration proceedings largely revolved around his asylum application, interview, and testimony.

So they're lying in an attempt to make it sensational enough to bust past due process. For an example of how that looks long term, check Duterte's regime in the Philippines. Many people were killed extrajudicially and written off as drug dealers.

Hilariouschaos seems to pop up a lot here lately

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There’s a good reason for that.

Hilariouschaos and Lemmy.today tend to be known to be the conservative instances.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hilariouschaos is one person pretending to be multiple people. Unhinged behavior

Idk when chuckles became a mod or admin but they’re eleventy times worse than Alice.

It’s certainly chaos but there’s a distinct lack of hilarity.

"He's MS-13!" Prove it in court then. Fuck me I'm tired of Americans being 100% wrong about everything and then trying to sound adult by having lengthy 'debates' about it.

Oh yeah, that guy is a real dipshit.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. And what’s sad is that he seems to revel in it. How fucking pathetic must one’s life be to find joy in being a massive pile of shit?

I mean, a concerted effort to lie about known facts in a massive disinformation campaign, is unironically a reason why he is in office now. Though no way they see that context.

This is my now daily(?) suggestion for admins to defed from HC and for users to block it

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I definitely think LW needs to defederate from them. There’s little they offer that doesn’t have a better alternative elsewhere.

Nazi instance supporting Nazis, not a shock.

PTB, clear and simple. Someday they will be mass defederated. I don't think my instance gets them, but I haven't been looking for more digital self harm by reading Nazis advocating for my kind to be removed.

We have our very own r/conservative (degrogatory) now.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Why can't they stay on their shit and be miserable there, they always follow us around and try and wreck whatever we make like the petulant whiny brats they are. I don't go into their shitholes, why can't they just stay out of our house

Because they can’t stand being around other people like themselves.

The Judge that so heavily rebuked Trump is a Reagan appointee

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

The absolute bonked-zonkers thing about this is that they've fully memory-holed that even if this guy was undeniably part of MS-13, the group they were going after and who they had authorized this extra-judicial violence against was tren de aragua. Members of MS-13 should still, under their initial claims, not be able to be deported without trial like this.

[–] a9cx34udP4ZZ0@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The immigration judge literally said there was no proof he was MS-13.

Plaintiff Abrego Garcia is not a member of or has no affiliation with Tren de Aragua, MS-13, or any other criminal or street gang. Although he has been accused of general “gang affiliation,” the U.S. government has never produced an iota of evidence to support this unfounded accusation.

Trump's attempts at "proving" he was MS-13 was a laughably bad photoshop of "ms13" across his knuckles that took exactly 5 seconds of searching to disprove.

I thought non citizens also had a right to a fair trial?

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 22 points 1 week ago

with due process exceptions, anyone can be labelled 'non citizen' and treated without due process.

either everyone has due process, or no one is.

Chuckles the clown should be put on blast everyday.

The administration of HilariousChaos aren’t any better as they don’t have any control or want to have any control over the people in their instance.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

The entire instance is a fucking joke in name only. I was invited to make an account there around when they started by some kid named “Alice.” I noped the fuck out the minute I saw what it was:

A shit-tier wannabe cover-band of 4Chan’s greatest hits.

And once again they move the goalpost and there's absolutely fuck all we're going to be able to do about it. 2 weeks ago we were angry that people were kidnapped and sent to a deathcamp. 1,5 weeks ago we were angry that people didn't even get a trial. 1 week ago we were angry that someone wasn't "supposed" to be sent to the death camp. Now we're angry that they say this man was a gangmember without evidence.

The discussion has moved from "sending people to death camps is fucking insane", to "it's okay to send people to death camps, as long as they're gang members".

This post is a big part of that goalpost moving.

Don't let them shift the narative. Yes, everything that is happening is wrong, but focusing on them lying about him being a gang member, shifts the narative to a point where it's okay to send people to foreign death camps, as long as they've done something the state deems criminal (in this case, being a gang member).

PTB.

Like, I get not wanting "political" content in your instance. But guess what, everything has a political side! And the comment is completely related to the topic at hand (Garcia being kicked by force from one dictatorship into another, with no proofs that he would be a mara).

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s in a “conservatives” community, so, politics is pretty much the wheelhouse.

And even considering the source, one would think there would at least be some sense of maturity when it comes to moderating, but nope.

It’s wannabe edgelord trolling, even in the moderation/admin team.

Which judge? Which jury? What's the case so I can look it up? What crime is he charged with? When is his next court date? What was he convicted of? What was he sentenced to, and by whom?

-Questions I'm going to keep asking

Edit: I just read that modlog. Unrelated? Eat more boots, jackass.
