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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- 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.
- Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
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.
YPTB 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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Rimus comments in question. Seems like hes very concerned about people defending luminous, less so about the admin of the largest instance being a zionist.
deserved it, 'flags in banner' is pretty tangential and no defense for behavior. mrkaplan is very clearly a zionist and anyone apologizing for him is sus
I will say I prefer 'death to zionism' because it's the ideology of that ethnostate which should die and is not worth saving. people can learn
Hitting exactly the root cause here - rimu defending Kaplan, consistently and disturbingly, while going after Luminous.
chef's kiss, nothing to add.
Not a complaint about you @Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus BTW, but I think you'd know that. Just commenting on my agreed preferred phrasing.
nah don't worry about it, you're both not wrong that this phrasing would have been better for a display name.
Looks like I need to go instance shopping again
Would avoid anything on piefed
eh, theres a fork already.
anarchist.nexus itself is on piefed, while dbzer0 is on lemmy.
A fork of piefed?? But why?
Because anarchist.nexus uses it and rimu has started getting... Opinionated with some configs.
Forking is not exactly a big deal, and a good way to hedge against unexpected changes that are catastrophic. What's the worry?
Because it doesn't seem worth forking. From what I looked at it would need to just be rewriten so why fork.
Its currently running anarchist.nexus, so... thats why. Its sensible to have a fork.
It just seems like a ton of work for a small upside
There really isn't a lot of work, you can pull in the changes but hold your patches.
Guess I was thinking more of improvements with a fork rather than downstream like centos was to rhel
Yes.
Improvements are just in a branch, it doesnt need to be a huge undertaking.
Also a bit biased as I see so much that could be improved in the code but would just end up with complete rewrites
It’s the superior software from a usability point. And it actually has feature growth rather then beg for donation banners.
