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.

MODERATORS
They are the reason I shut down vegantheoryclub.org. When I asked for a vote to de federate sh.itjust.works they used alts to post about me on anti-tankie communities then used and army of alts to manipulate the votes on my instance. Afterwords they followed me around and screenshotted my posts to mock me on the anti-tankie forums for a while until I shut it down. This was all after pretending to be my friend in matrix for a while. They insert themselves into this kind of drama a lot, and they know it, so my message is for them. I don't care what you think about me.
You need to provide citations for your claims otherwise this is just an anecdote.
"I don't have to give proof of my claims, I'm not in court!"
Hamid is personally stole my favorite horse. I have no reasons to give citations, I'm not in court.
Hamid kicked my dog!
Burned our crops and poisoned our water supply too!!!
Raped the horses and rode off on the women!
why are you responding with an alt under your own post?
Because I have piefed.world blocked. You can see my main in my bio.
no reply in this comment chain is from piefed.world
I want to see the other chain too. Also I have Hamid blocked.
Why are you responding to hamid if you have them blocked?
Because I saw his comments on this account.
But if you valued their comments you wouldn't have blocked them, no?
I blocked Hamid to give the man his space.
Such an evil person, giving someone space! How dare you.
I wouldn’t take the bait if I were you, @hamid@crazypeople.online, because she’s very good at this game. Whatever this game is—being an energy vampire?
You're right
I'm not a loser like you Beaver/Sunshine/Ralimba/Ms Sprouts/Leaf/Maam etc. etc. etc. and I don't screen shot people and save evidence because I don't give a shit and am not in court. Get help you're unhinged you know what I'm saying is true.
So no citations?
3 days later and still angry and no evidence, I wonder why people are angry at a woman this much with no proof. Vaguely leftist gamergate.
Over a week and nothing, Hamid is a loser.
What’s with all the alts? She’s like a competent version of Leni/Lenni/shinigamiookamiryuu/KumoYumeMiru/PatrickStar/SohruKurisutaru/CraigOhMyEggo/CraigOhMyEggoAlt/ShiverMeTimbers/Fizzymus/KaneLivesInDeath/Jedikkeneus/LurkingWitch32/Popsicles/Lilyunad.
FFS. Are you able to get professional help, son? Damn. You're a frothy mess, and it's not just from the shoebox this time.
Therapy might change his mind to new ideas, so that's not going to happen. Gotta stick to things you think are true but can't prove.
It's okay, you gotta move on.
No, he must be angry and spread shit with no evidence. Slander is okay when you're somehow a victim while also attacking someone.
Reminds me of PieFed.
Edit: groupie is when someone doesn't give proof and you go with innocent until proven guilty.
J.C. dude. Are you her deputy? Groupie? Sidekick?
It's baffling to me that people would defend her after everything she's done... And demand a full relitigation of the whole harassment saga, she was putting comrades on blast in MoG why does anyone still trust her?
Days later and still no proof, how odd. But apparently you can't be trusted but the people with no evidence have to be. Weird.
Were you going by another user name at that time? Either way, before I knew about multiple names and hadn't seen the drama, I probably owe you an apology for defending Beaver. So I am sorry about that. And I'm half sorry for commenting it itt after it got ~~quite~~ quiet. I just figured if I said "leave Beaver alone" publicly, I should equally apologize publicly. But I'm unsure of correct form, so...
~~They~~ she also goes* on banning sprees.
Use the proper pronouns for Sunshine, please. Sunshine goes by She/her.
Edit: sorry for having people use pronouns properly, I guess misgendering is fine when people are angry?
I didn't know until I read a few more comments. When I don't know, I default to "they." I'll fix it.
For people genuinely wanting links for context, I've talked about some of Sunshine's history in previous comments. https://lemmy.world/post/33055701/18273538
I didn't know about some of the things mentioned here, but it wouldn't surprise me. Using so many alts makes it hard to document these things. I expect that's probably intentional.
Why do you and Hamid keep saying she had anything to do with the Vegan v. .world events? It was only naevaTheRat and Eevoltic that took action against two users in the vegan community, causing .world's Rooki to interfere and leading to a back and forth between the parties. The modlog is still available for all to see.
They discuss Beaver/Sunshine in some of the comments of that timeline summary post. I don't think she took mod action against Rooki but IIRC her constant drama led to the vegan community moving soon after.
She's named by TheTechnician27, who was a newly appointed Vegan moderator, about a month after the "cat drama" though. Based on my observations at the time, the original Vegan moderators left and appointed someone new to take over because of .world's actions (e.g. see this comment from naeva).
TheTechnician27's understanding of the prior events seems lacking, as they argue she was at "the center of the recent controversy [involving] Lemmy administrator Rooki", offering no evidence and going against the facts of the modlog. Perhaps that's the source of misinformation here, because you say something very similar: "As Beaver, they put the lemmy.world vegan community in trouble with admins over that vegan cat food drama". That part is simply not true.
i betyou dont care about my opinion, but i think youre right and sunshine is toxic af
You're quite literally an antivegan debate troll, you're the toxic one.
I'm not antivegan
Your history suggests otherwise.
no it doesn't. I have never said anyone shouldn't be vegan, or that being vegan is wrong.
