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

  • 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

    Banned from [email protected] for calling out Zionist German pro-genocide propaganda.

    I made a post about the Europeans who are being deported from Germany for being anti-genocide. https://lemmy.ml/post/28407953

    A user repeated the now many times debunked lie that these victims facing deportation were "violent racist rioters". Blatant German propaganda, made up to smear opposition to the genocide in Palestine. Which Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for.

    After calling them, and a few other users out for repeating the same lie, the moderators banned me.

    r/privacy mod breaks "no self-promotion rule" in self-pinned comment

    Mod Carrotcypher links to their own personal blog and then pins their own post.

    Opsec101's homepage, made by Carrotcypher:

    And here's a look at rule 3!

    Call me picky, but I think the moderators should follow the rules they write and enforce.

    OBJECTION! @lemmy.ml

    Banned for calling out a mod after they claimed that criticism of Japanese Internment was "not legitimate"

    https://lemmy.ml/post/28111691/17749466

    This is actually insane. Another user was criticizing the New Deal era and brought up a bunch of points, I commented refuting a bunch of their points but describing two of of them, Japanese Internment and the Red Scare, simply as "legitimate criticism."

    @[email protected] responded "No they’re not. Those two things were caused by far greater international factors. Like, you know, the 2nd World War."

    I cited a commission that found that internment was not caused by a legitimate threat posed by the Japanese but was rather caused by racism and hysteria, and that even Reagan agreed with that conclusion and signed a bill paying reparations to the victims.

    Well then the mod responded that I was jumping to "inflammatory conclusions" and "personal attacks" because I assumed that when they said that criticism of internment is not legitimate it meant that they were defending internment. They continued to refuse to e

    So death threats are a 7 day ban, but misogynistic comment on an entirely different sub is a permanent ban?

    So I'm not 100% sure this is the right sub for this but I couldn't really find another sort of mod abuse sub that had actual users. I recognize that I am most certainly an asshole in this situation, but I got banned [email protected] for a misogynistic comment I left on a completely different sub.

    imogen_underscore in that same thread made multiple death threats against me and has only received a 7 day ban. So I want to be clear here that in their eyes a misogynistic comment left on an entirely different sub is WORSE than death threats left in your own sub?

    DHS allows surveillance based on sexual orientation. Reddit's privacy moderators ban any mention of it

    Case 1

    Original post

    Moderator carrotcypher says "removed for paywall." When asked about which rule this breaks, receives no response. The post is then locked.

    Case 2

    Original post

    Same as the first, except this time there is no paywall - the link is to a freely accessible advocate.com page.

    It is censored wit

    Wanted to post the bottom one only but struck gold (shit???).

    Top: TFW when Nazi Germany wasn't Nazi.

    Bottom: This mod just removed a rhetorical question because "nobody said that"???

    Thread in case y'all wanna see the context. Everything below the first paragraph was added after my response.

    r/privacy moderator censors criticism of CEO James Dolan

    Original post

    This action was taken under an unannounced rule that can label and censor criticism of anyone or anything with "FUD."

    You'll find it's only used to protect the rich and powerful, though.

    Unable to simply delete the post, the moderators scrubbed comments from anyone who named and shamed CEO James Dolan, but allowed his supporters to remain uncensored.

    ![James Dolan is a thin-skinned billionaire crybaby who runs Madison Square Garden like it’s his own little surveillance state. The fact that he's using facial recognition tech to ban people—not for crimes, not for safety concerns—but for criticizing him is some straight-up dictator energy.........This isn’t just petty. It’s da

    Mee @reddthat.com

    I got banned from Europe community for posting a article that has an analysis that the admin does not like.

    The most funny fact here is the articles that came in the same time.

    Zelensky predicts that Putin 'Will Die Soon'

    And from the New York Times:

    The Secret History of the War in Ukraine: This is the untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia’s invading armies.

    It just shows that Lemmy or Reddit, both have terrible mods and both can silence your voice on command without any reason.

    How do you know who performed the mod actions?

    This has been bugging me for a while, and I don't know where else to really ask (this feels like the best place for this specific question); but how do you know what mod did what in the modlog? I've rarely ever seen the modlog actually state what mod/admin performed the action. Can get the user of the comment and even the undeleted text of their comment if it's a comment removal; does not show the mod/admin who actually handled it.

    Just noticed a comment was removed for "not crossing the line but close to violating the TOS" and I wanna talk to whoever pulled that dumbass shit. I don't think it's a power trip to make a "report" about it here, I just wanna know what the fuck kind of stupid bullshit reasoning that is and the modlog does not show who the moderator that removed it was.
