This is a community in the bastardized spirit of "Ye Power Trippin' Bastards" where people can post about bans from Blåhaj or ML or Walmart or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to start drama and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being bastards?
- What bastardly deed did they do?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry if applicable.
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the bastardly deed.
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Good faith arguments are discouraged. Don't take things here seriously.
- Using private communications to prove your point is encouraged. Leak those DMs, baby.
- Deobfuscating mod names from the modlog is a great way to enhance the drama.
- If you're going to harass mods or brigade comms, do so gently and with good taste.
- Downvote only if you're insecure.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a local establishment, etc.
- If you are the accused bastard, while you are welcome to respond, please do so in a new post.
All accused are considered guilty until proven innocent.
Make sure you follow Chad's code of conduct. In other words we may or may not allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry depending on the vibe.

NAZI downvoters
I downvoted because there is no link and the post is named "jew stuff". Without further context, I assumed the removed post was in fact anti semitic and deserved to be removed.
Honestly, I would have downvoted just because it seems very low effort. I shouldn't have to comb the modlog to understand what this is about.
here this was the post
theres a lot of stuff going on with this jew stuff and it intersects with politics and power in some pretty wild ways and i mean whats going on with the palestinians and the israeli government and zionism is just a total disaster and it seems like the jewish community is all about WOKE social justice and human rights but then you look at how israel treats palestinians and its like whats the deal with that and i think thats a pretty big contradiction
exceptionalism
and then theres this whole thing with jewish identity and exceptionalism and chosenness and i get where its coming from historically and culturally but sometimes it feels like its used to justify being better than everyone else or something and thats just not cool because actually im the chosen one
right and wrong
i think we need to have a real conversation about judaism and jewish identity and how it fits into our society and we need to be able to criticize zionism and the israeli government without being called anti semitic and at the same time we need to be honest about how jewish identity and culture can be used to perpetuate privilege and exclusivity because you know what maybe semiticism is bad
were being silenced
it could be really good for everyone regardless of who they are or where they come from if we could discuss this stuff and prove that my religion is better but its hard to have that conversation when everyone gets so defensive and it feels like were not allowed to even talk about it and thats just absurd
who is behind all this thats the question
