These comment removals don’t appear on the modlog but the likely culprit comment is

“It fucking matters that the lemmy main code contributors are Tankie scum. The less power they exert over the whole, the better.”

At a 3 to 2 score, but also includes such heinous comments as

"You can just browse lemmy in a mobile browser like waterfox just fine…

Why would anybody want to install unnecessary third party apps? That sounds awful."

and

“I havent used many instances but I’ve never used one which didn’t have a mobile site.”

The Modlog does mention the ban with the following reason:

Here on World, you and I don’t see the Tankie Triad in the main feed, thankfully. But they are here, and they wish you ill.

I’ve never raged against anybody, and I’ve never scolded anybody unless they were an advocate for harm unto others. That unfortunately applies to quite a lot of people in political discussions.

It’s a temp ban and they simply asked you to calm down.

Yup, this is YDI. Minimum mod action, and you were being nasty in a community that isn’t set up to allow that.

“Nasty”…? Tankies are intolerant, they deserve no tolerance. They are violent, they deserve no mercy. They are hateful, they deserve no kindness.

There is nothing Nasty about calling it what it is.

Look, let’s say I agree with that. I think your take lacks depth, but I’ll play along.

Yeah, those tankies suck.

But if you roll up to my house spitting rage and hate, IDGAF if I agree with the underlying principle, you’re an asshole, and I’m kicking you out.

The community you were in was just escorting you to the door for being obnoxious. And you were. You still are.

You have the freedom to have your opinion. You can even broadcast it anywhere you want. Once. Nobody has to let you back in the door when you disrupt a community with unrelated venom. It’s like some. Mormon coming to your door when you’ve got it open for a nice breeze and bitching about how much Jehovah’s witnesses suck.

It stinks up the place.

If your house condemns those who mistreat tankies, then your house spits rage and hatred all on its own.

YDI. Maybe stop embodying the idea of ‘scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds’ for a few days and you might see why your actions even alienate relatively normie communities.

Imagine opposing liberalism and thinking you’re anything other than a fascist.

The concept of liberalism doesn’t equate to your specific country’s liberal party, just as the Republican party of the USA don’t support a representative democracy, the People’s Republic of North Korea isn’t a republic and does not belong to the people, and the Chinese Communist Party isn’t owned by the workers.

Liberalism and fascism have more in common than you think, which is why socialists often say, “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.”

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

So called socialist countries have an attrocious civil rights record, a severe lack of protections for vulnerable classes of people, if your definition of liberalism is that it isn’t socialism then you’ve truly outed yourself as a misinformed Tankie, gj comrade.

BTW, those “white liberals” helped pass the civil rights act that MLK Jr advocated for. The USA was 88.5% white at the time of the civil rights movement, and we the entire USA as one people still passed it through an all white congress. MLK’s concerns turned out to be wrong with that letter.

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.
