Apparently, bringing up China being authoritarian is now “bigotry”. Makes sense now all those comments from .ml users that most people banned from .ml are for bigotry.

“Bigotry” = Anything negative about China or Russia now

50% YDI / 50% PTB

YDI, as these comments were obviously bad faith trolling with the sole purpose of starting flame war. None of the comments in the screenshot can be considered a valuable contribution to the discussion in the technology community.

PTB, for made up “bigotry” as a reason for the ban. If they had banned you for trolling, it would have been 100% YDI.

Apparently, bringing up China being authoritarian is now “bigotry”.

I’ve noticed this lately in a lot of communities I’m in, most of which that have nothing to do with politics and are centered around Linux/technology. Why are people suddenly getting personally hurt over criticism against their government? Thats the wildest thing I’ve ever seen, and for some reason it’s becoming more of a thing.

The funny thing is, it’s not even their government. They’re defending an idealized version that only exists in their heads. As far as I can tell, the primary developers are European.

I gotta say, it’s really gracious of the mod to only ban you for 3 months. Usually it’s a perma-ban.

Where do you check such things? So where do you find this?

Oooh this is fun, apparently my posts about bicyclists going the wrong way down streets at night without lights while wearing black were misinformation, regardless of seeing another 3 in the last week alone.

Mods are funny little rentacops aren’t they

You have to go to the mod logs of each instance and search for your username.

The system is setup so you are shadowbaned until you figure it out yourself.

The mods of blahaj constantly lurk other instances banning everyone they don’t like even if they didn’t post there.

I’m sure there are plenty of other pathetic mods in the fediverse.

is it a shadow ban? i think the last time my comment showed up with a little crossed out avatar.

my guess was that this was to indicate that .ml banned me, however they cannot stop me from posting as i am on a different instance. just probably not many ppl seeing the comment.

You did comment there. You commented apologia for the Israeli genocidal settler-colonial state’s apartheid, specifically a physical apartheid wall. And your comment was removed, and you were site banned for… looks like 45-ish days.

How do you check the modlog on blahah? It’s not like a Lemmy server

Edit: I’ve been site wise perma banned for over a year. It’s actually the first thing that comes up for me on there. Makes sense, I’m right wing, and they don’t want right wingers over there.

What’s your stance on trans people? That’s usually why they ban people

Most of Lemmy doesn’t want you right-wing nuts, you’d think you would take the hint after having nearly every post in your “conservative” comm downvoted to hell along with a good bulk of your comments. Fuckin MAGAts, only thing worse than a tankie

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.


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’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.
  • If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.

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.

  • 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.
