Getting banned for disputing fucking havana syndrome is so fucking funny holy shit. That's basically an honor imo
Why are you guys so addicted to victim complex?
He wasn’t banned, his comment was removed. And it wasn’t for disputing Havana syndrome, most of the people in those comments were doing that. They just weren’t combative and unhinged about it.
What is even the point of .world? Every single person on there would be just as happy if they had stayed on reddit lmao
I hope one day I get banned for saying Iraq didn't have a billion WMDs
How dare you claim that the CIA would dose people with LSD in an attempt to do mind control! MKULTRA is a conspiracy theory, that is Soviet type authoritarianism!
One of my comments got removed for “misinformation” because I predicted Biden would send more support to Israel in his lame duck period while Bibi celebrates Trump’s return.
I’m pretty sure it got removed because a mod responded to it with “nobody cares” on one of his alts and then I called him a nobody who cares enough to be childish about it on the internet.
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.
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.
