Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1551 readers
13 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.

.world sucks ass, it's a reddit clone

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lol says the "reddthat" user. Actually it's a good instance name, but the irony ...

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Reddthat disables downvotes, so quite different from Reddit

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

What a bunch of snowflakes.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reddit basically removed downvotes as well since the EA comment. You still had the button, but it was inable to change the trend of the first few minutes.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

I still regularly get downvoted on /r/RedditAlternatives, so it still seems to work

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

There are a few news related subs on .world with shitty moderators, the rest of the instance is as chill as anywhere else. If you see .world mentioned here, it is probably the News community.

I wish i could find a better instance. :c

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

You can. This community is on a good instance.

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...have you expended the slightest bit of effort to do that? Because there are plenty.

I've researched a few dozen.

Every time I dig deep there's something unreconcialable I find in usually the community or the admins' unfair moderation practices. Or it's really small and weird and I don't understand what it's about.

.world is cringe and corporate feeling, like reddit, but the admins are more consistent than the smaller communities I've tried.

Sopuli.xyz might be a good option.

They are a medium sized general purpose instance based in Finland with good admins, a consistently updated Lemmy, and fast speeds.

Also @shadowplayer2@lemmy.world and @HalifaxJones@lemmy.world

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'll check it out, thanks

Any controversies I should know about?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

None that I'm aware of :D

Also just want to mention you can export your subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts/comments as a JSON file from your account settings page, and then import that file at your new instance in the same spot!

[–] shadowplayer2@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Please update here if you find one! The draw of lemmy (and fediverse in general) should be that if something like this happens we aren’t beholden to the instance and can switch, but unfortunately I share your experience with other instances 😔

[–] HalifaxJones@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Im in the same boat :/

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

that's fair. I like sdf.org but I would, I chose it.
