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.

Context:

The article in question was well sourced, factually accurate, and written by a well-renowned author and journalist whose work appears elsewhere too, regardless of which outlet published it.

Nonetheless, Jordan Lund is once again blindly trusting a pro-zionist conservative outlet masquerading as a bias and fact checker that nothing from anywhere that criticizes the fascist apartheid regime can be reliable 🤦

Weekly reminder that Jordan Lund is the same piece of shit Zionist redditor that hates BLM because protests are too loud and inconvenience him. The dude is a republican shitstain.

Does Chicago count? Las Vegas? Los Angeles? Seattle? San Diego? San Francisco? Cupertino? Laguna Beach? Memphis was interesting. Not counting "airport only" trips like Denver, Atlanta, or Salt Lake City. Forgot Kona/Kailua... that one was a long time ago now...

wikipedia lists mint as an unreliable source, of course, I don't doubt the article, its clear that he's using it as an excuse to take down the article.

But anyone who isn't a moron knows that MBFC is an incredibly biased source...... Right?

Literally they make it so obvious

It's my one grouse with the Tesseract ui, that they grab MBFC ratings for every post linking an external site and highlight it. It's not the awesome feature you seem to think it is, Patrick

Christ on a bike.

I have a hard time taking seriously anything or anyone who says “Far-Left Biased” (esp. with that capitalization) unironically.

Lazy PTB on the grounds of (maybe mindlessly) parroting Fox News rhetoric instead of researching themselves.

The world skews left anyway. Also, politics in 'merica is so screwed that everything skews to the right.
