reason: insulting

Apparently having an earnest discussion about a public figure's behavior will now be censored by Proton "mods"

https://lemmy.world/modlog/37655

Looks like they stepped up their modding recently due to unfavourable commentary on the CEOs comments regarding Trump administration

With authoritarian governments increasingly turning to censorship to silence dissent, limit information, and manipulate public opinion, Proton VPN and the anti-censorship services it provides have never been more critical.

🤡

I guess CEOs have feelings too?

Keep digging this hole Andy, clearly you don't understand who pays for your services.

offending content that was scabbed on lemmy.world instance (without modlog entiresi) but can still be reviewed on thebrainbin.org

Unless you're talking about the CEO, I can't see who was bullied in that exchange? This whole thing feels like an extreme overreaction by the mod imo.

PTB with a dash of BPR.

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


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.
