Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on here. Looks like a mod having a breakdown. I posted the rest for context and I'm in the middle.

I got linked to the comment chain from elsewhere. The comment had a link to a tech dude's blog, supposed to point out his white supremecism. I didn't see anything bad in that article, but stumbled on another one with nazi apologia, thought they may have linked the wrong article, posted it. That's it. That's all I did.

I guess it is called awful.systems and the culture confuses me, but man, what a dick move to call me a facist in the modlog.

If nothing else, I hope this drama is entertaining.

Edit: Because this is, well, the internet: I was not defending DHH. Another removed/banned comment said they couldn't find anything bad in that link either, so I found one where DHH was being more blatant in his bullshit.
