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.

I think it's a genuine concern. Not trying to stir shit or anything. (thelemmy.club)

Some arguments in the thread was that this was some bullshit rumour that was started by neo-nazi admins of dbzer0.com or from some .ml instances.

It's easy to point fingers and make up rumours, but this is a genuine concern. Whether it's at lemmy.world or dbzer0.com or anywhere else.

This is the responsibility of the communities to call these people out. Whether they are neo-nazis or zionists, it doesn't matter. They should not be moderating any instances.

Finally, if there is any real proof of this, can people share it here? Like posts, comments, modlogs?

YDI.

Would have been better to post in an out of the loop community, because it definitely reads like shit-stirring. Especially "neo-nazi" admins of dbzer0. Like holy shit that's so far off the mark I have trouble taking it in good faith.

Anyway, I don't have context about the world admin being a zionist or not. But this comment lays out the rest of the events pretty clearly.

In short: an anarchist.nexus (piefed sister site to dbzer0 being on lemmy) admin set their display name to something intentionally shit stirring like "death to all zionists". A lemmy.world admin took it personally for some reason, and instead of reaching out to other admins on anarchist.nexus or dbzer0, reporting it, publicly announcing what was going on, or even running it by the other lemmy.world admins first, they just decided on their own to defederate from anarchist.nexus entirely.

As soon as dbzer0/anarchist.nexus admins learned what was going on, the admin with the shit stirring display name stepped down. Lemmy.world has refederated with anarchist.nexus, but the admin that took it personally is still holding onto the threat of defederating from them again.

dbzer0 is currently gathering allies from smaller lemmy and piefed instances to agree to collectively defed from lemmy.world if they follow through on defederating anarchist.nexus again, because this should have been something discussed, not done in the dark at the whim of a single person.

Thank you.

Yeah i can see how my post can be interpreted that way. Indeed outoftheloop might have been a better place to ask.

I'm glad that some of you provided more details and explanations.
