Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1383 readers
8 users here now

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.

Banned for 'Internet Slapfight' despite the vast majority of my comments being to debunk Hasbara, and disengaging from a Zionist troll when the attacks went from disinformation to personal

Post:

https://lemmy.world/post/30244778

Luckily none of my comments pertaining to the actual issue at hand got deleted, but how this somehow warrants a ban is completely ridiculous.

I do want to promote some better World News comms:

!world@quokk.au

~~!altmedia@altmedia.house~~ Avoid due to their support of white Nationalist propagandist Tucker Carlson. See https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/19034187

For obvious reasons I won't be engaging with the lw world news, nor be able to debunk any hasbara there that aims to justify this genocide one way or another

PTB, yes, but you don't get any points from me for recommending a pro-Tucker Carlson community.

This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearshiemer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

We like [...] Tucker Carlson

Yeah, okay.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I didn't catch that either, that list of names didn't include Tucker Carlson when I first subbed. That is unacceptable, white nationalists should not be tolerated

I'm crossing that community out

@AltMediaGuy@altmedia.house why are allowing Tucker Carlson, an ideological white nationalist, in that community?

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Good on ya for removing that shit and straight up laying out AMG here.

Offtopic,

but what does “PTB” mean? Tried searching it up and didn’t find anything, I inferred that “YDI” means You Deserved It but not PTB.

It has been common knowledge around here to avoid news and politics communities on Lemmy.world due to heavy censorship to benefit US regime talking points.

You did your tour, you earned your ban, now seed smaller communities where freedom of speech and discussion is welcome.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

PTB. I read some of the comments and you are in the right imo (Even brought sources!). The other person was just both-siding the whole conflict and even went on some 4 comment long rant, thought at least they were banned.

I also found this comment; hilarious how they weren't banned, but somehow you were lol

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago

Oh look it's a PTB from PTB.world

You did nothing wrong. PTB

Theres now zionists modding world news.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 6 points 1 month ago

Now? Always?

They just shill DNC talking points and are part of the kamala's camp.

It just so happens that Israel doing genocide is their shill talking points imho

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Love the promotions :) Oh and it's !world@quokk.au without the 'news'

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just checked that community; seems to be good. I've been avoiding world @ LW but this one seems interesting.

[–] Blaze@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

It's the one I usually recommend on similar posts here

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Fixed, thank you for the the correction!

Everyone gets banned from .world eventually. Friend, consider it an honor. And welcome to the .world-banned club. You've got lots of company here! :)

When I got banned there, not only did they celebrate my banning, they actually wrote a special post about banning me in the c/politics community (it's still there, people are free to look it up). All because I said I was gonna abandon the duopoly and vote third party.

And .worlders clapped and cheered the day I got banned, hoping that they had bullied me enough that I would leave Lemmy.

I'm still here. You will be too.

Brah, bail on .world now and find another instance to be your home. Because .worlders will start stalking you and serial downvoting you. You'll be a lot happier on the cooler, less censorship-y instances.

PTB!

Jordan Lund once said biden just had to send those bombs to defend America against iran

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Jordan Lund is the quintessential PTB.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

JodanLund is a reddit mod incarnate.

Privileged white dude who acts like he's some progressive, but actually hates Black people standing up, and vaguely supports things when it becomes popular enough.

I remember when he was pro-genocde and now he pretends he's against what's happening Gaza. Still will ban you for giving citations that prove him wrong from places that the .world bot says are fine.

At least .ml is open in what they support and remove. .world pretends to be a neutral arbiter while censoring anything they don't like.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You also aren't allowed to point out Harris was okay with Bidens Gaza plans.

Or use anything that has substack in the footer simply because that makes it a blog, see dropsitenews.com

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

Pointing out that Harris was comfortable with Israel's/Biden's genocide in Gaza is objectively worse than mass murder, don't'cha know? Murder is overseas, I can ignore it, therefore its not worth my time. But criticizing people? That's plain evil and you must be banned. /s

yeah he really sucks. He does a good job hiding it. If you look at his comment stream its pretty benign, then he goes way off occassionally. Later you look back at his comments and its all cleaned up/deleted like it never happened. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Yep!
