Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1437 readers
16 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.

Calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world obvious spam makes them delete my comment and ban me as a spammer.

A SINGLE COMMENT on their community is spam, but someone posting 10-minute reads every 5-minutes 247/365 isn't spam?

Honestly whoever mod this was, however fking stupid are you to let your emotions take over and admit I'm right by banning me for one comment calling out literal spam?

Ah, Lemmy is occasionally really entertaining (because unlike them, my life isn't on the line so I don't get upset like they seem to :D)

Mod log shows you posting the same comment multiple times in quick succession. Certainly sounds like spam to me. If that account annoys you, block it. It's a wonderful tool!

YDM. Also, what does this have to do with russians in any way?

I don't go around calling everything inconveniencing me Mossad/Israeli, and frankly it's pretty childish of you to call everybody you disagree with a russian bot.

Feels like lemmy is mostly just russians, honestly

From your previous post. Elaborate.

אל תגלה להם את הסוד שלי 😳😳😳

I'm the guy who removed it.
I considered it spam since you posted the same thing on every post by that person.
The posts they made were fine. Posting often isn't spamming.

TL;DR: Gabh transa ort fhéin.

obvious spam

Seems it's only obvious to you. You are the one that did more "spamming" by following that user around accusing them of spamming.

YDM.

I don't get upset like they seem to :D

proceeds to spam YPTB to rage every time they get modded for spamming

ptb i cant believe lemmy is filled with so many russians its also so weird how everybody i disagree with is a russian bot i mean can you believe that what a coincidence

poop him in jail

I looked at their post and comment history and didn't see any clear issue like you mentioned. In fact, what I saw contradicted your claim.

If they crosspost to other (relevant) communities, that's not spam. Being efficient and working quickly does not make someone a spammer either.

I see people here in the comments have given you the opportunity to give specific evidence to back up your claims and you haven't.

We each moderate our own communities to the best of our ability, with limited time. The post that you complained about was a legitimate article: no disinformation, no spam.

Insulting people who disagree with you does not help your own credibility. And if you don't like disinformation, then you shouldn't be calling the moderators Russian without some evidence. Slava Ukraini.

All that drama and temp ban that could have been avoided by using the block feature 😂

Sounds like you got what you deserved. People like you are obsessed about slumming around in communities that you hate. No clue why you all don't just block and move on. YDI
