Only Combat Videos that make us feel good about the death and destruction of war allowed, apparently.
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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
- 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.
Relevant comms
The US didn't bomb Yemen. Some bombs that happened to be from the US accidentally fell off a US bomber while coincidentally flying over Yemeni territory. Come on bro it's not like the US has been terrorising the middle east for decades.
Anyways PTB.
I'm with Dick Pasta on this one, oops I mean Ricky Rigatoni.
PTB
You had me in the first half lol
PTB
With how incompetent and how averse the current administration is to basic things like safety regulations and maintenance, I almost can't tell if this is satire.
PTB
Pathetic... But also a valuable data point exposed. Got to love the mod log haha
!CombatVideos@sh.itjust.works is another regime front on fedi ran by bootlickers. They prolly do a circle jerk together with news and politics subs on Lemmy world. I hope these clowns get paid for all this labour
The posters and mods there a big Ukraine fans.
So all the more surprising they still want to quote the country calling Zelensky a dictator who started the war with Russia.
I don't get how having footage of this is a bad thing for either side.
