Making up arguments to justify their BS.

Oh look. Another asshole crying victim when they’re being treated for the asshole they are.

I think they misunderstand the purpose of the community, it’s a community meant to discuss power tripping bastards, not assholes who are censored rightfully or should’ve gotten off with a lot more than a slap on the wrist. In other words, there’s no power tripping, in fact I’d say this mod was a little too easy on them giving them a 9 day vacation instead of kicking them out for good.

I’ve seen a lot of OPs comments. Going easy is an understatement.

Yeah, it’s really bad. Mods definitely are not being as harsh as they should given OP’s current history and past behavior.

You didn’t even say it was bad to use human shields at any point. Now I don’t think you should be banned for it but it says a lot about your ethical standards and what it says is not good.

They constantly defend Israel. They know what they are doing

Absolutely! I just imagine that people want to be morally and intellectually consistent, so I think it’s important to point out when they are not.

Of course maybe they think Hamas using “human shields” is fine too? Doubt it but at least that wouldn’t be hypocritical

I don’t need to. It is obviously implied by pointing out booby-trapping will harm palestinian civilians.

So you do denounce the IDF for using human shields? It’s unclear when you seem to only focus on the portion of the blame that lies with Hamas

It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

Jeopardizing civilian lives, either by placing booby-traps or using them as shields are both warcrimes.

My stance has always been that all the violence is BS. I just hate that lemmy.world blatantly gives Hamas a pass.

YDI, the article was about the use of human shields and in addition to that, you have also have been spouting a lot of pro-Israel bullshit when they are currently participating in a genocide. Also blatantly encouraging violence. Doesn’t look good on you, this is a classic case of bellyaching over being censored for encouragement of violence. In all honesty probably should’ve been a permanent ban, might end up becoming one since you decided to go and post shit here.

Context OP chose not to show, which displays blatant pro-israel sentiment:

As well as one of their statements encouraging violence:

Being pro-Israel is besides the point. I am anti-violence first and foremost. That calling for violence bs is actually the opposite. I am mocking the absurdity of using violence when it is giving them zero benefit at horrible cost. Imagine thinking ‘speak up at the UN’ is a call for violence.

Not really, Israel is currently engaged in a genocide of the Palestinian people. They are bombing hospitals, shooting civilians. Supporting them is almost universally frowned upon right now and would definitely contribute to your being banned from communities. Not on it’s own, but in the context of the other shit you posted, it would definitely be a factor.

I am anti-violence first and foremost. That calling for violence bs is actually the opposite.

Try and communicate that a bit better then, your comments are telling the opposite story, things like this: Don’t come off to others as a peaceful non-violent person. They come off as advocating violence, specifically the part where:

Anyone else still think it’s a good idea to resort to violence against Israel?

Yeah that combined with your other comments either supporting or refusing to condemn the use of human shields really doesn’t make you look good here. And it isn’t surprising in the least why they banned you from the community. Be grateful they didn’t permanently ban you.

Be grateful they didn’t permanently ban you

lol ‘be grateful Musk didn’t ban you permanently from X’ is how that sounds at this point. What a surprise: someone digging deep for another statement taken way out of context isn’t seeing the problem. Keep supporting lazy and inappropriate banning that supports your agenda. Enjoy the shithole that this place becomes because of it. Hate Reddit? It’s not nearly as bad as this mess is and defending it makes you part of the problem.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

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.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
  • Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
  • Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
  • Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
  • You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.

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.


Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.
