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.

I don't understand how Patrick hiding a DDOS attack in his "goodbye" message isn't grounds for banning his alts on that server according to their policy. It literally is breaking the law in many countries
Edit: for that matter, .world should consider the same for his alts there
Lemmy.world isn't going to take action against his account. They already don't take actions against the no-content sockpuppet accounts and extremist trolls who use their instance. They should take action against them, they likely won't though.
Of course not. He's basically jordanlund if he knew how to code.
Maybe he is Jordanlund, it's certainly possible. I don't think one could meaningfully prove otherwise.
Do you really think jordanlund would be able to stay away from this thread if it were him?
Who's to say he hasn't? Using alts is a form of engagement. Using his main account risks being banned for it in a lot of places, and that stops him from doing that smug confrontation thing he likes to do.
I just think it's hilarious that instead of "saving" the fediverse they fractured it. Whiney bitches love to break shit then whine about it being broken.
I dunno. The fediverse seems mostly united against admiralpatrick and his alts.
Nah they sadly have world to fall back on along with startrek.website
I would say they've brought the fediverse together like never before. I don't think this many people have agreed on a single thing in the history of fedi.
It's true, we usually spend most of our time hating eachother for not being the right kind of leftist. This has been a united front as far as I've seen.
Agreed.
It showed the broad spirit of the users, and that the fundamental nature of the federation design model... works literally exactly as it was intended to.
Sure, you can be the petty tyrant of your own fiefdom.
But no one rules everything, and anyone, at a comparatively low actual cost of entry, can make their own fiefdom, if they want to.
Maybe we should all be thanking nutomic and Dessalines, regardless of any specific disagreements any of us may have with them, for doing the fundamental conceptual and coding work.
Lemmy's origin story:

Or, frankly, because of the disagreements. Whatever bullshit you can say they pulled, at least it wasn't, yknow, this.
Absolutely, well said.
I would definitely agree. Despite our differences, we all have one thing in common. We don't like being deceived by those who build the frontends we use. We trust our credentials to these people and trust they aren't going to screw us over. He violated that trust and people are right to be pissed about it.
Hell, it's the first time I've seen everyone open to reasonable discussions of ideas like his in a long time. By setting up a boundary that everyone vocally agrees is unacceptable suddenly there's a sense of trust that people aren't all rushing towards it.
Can't have your little kingdom when it's not fractured from the whole.
How many do you think he's got? I swear I just found one called Eristalis created a day ago lol
James R Kirk - he was posting like an impartial observer on Fediverse vs Disinformation @db0 in a breakdown of the ban list thread. Things like:
Then when people called him out he started becoming a frothing troll.
looks like cardboardcruncher6400 is another, He's basically manifestoing all over the shitpost thread
I'm losing count of his sock puppets at this point
there's another one asking "reasonable" questions and claiming noscript blocks db0 (and intimating it's therefore suss)
Pretty sure the dude saying how everyone who blew up over the shitlist was doing illegal shit is one too
Doing illegal shit is a requirement for being a human rights activist in the USA today.
always has been
This whole situation is bizzare
what ddos attack? link?
Same comm, just scroll down a bit.
