This person is an alt-right troll banning anyone they believe disagrees with them even slightly.

PTB for sure, actually the whole modlog over there is one big shitshow. Really hope they deal with it.

I really wish you could block comms when you're banned from them. Now i have to see all the posts from this trolls comms.

If you're going to get banned, block the place before it happens.

Go into your account settings and you should be able to add them from there. If not that really needs to be addressed because you could do it before.

I really wish you could block comms when you're banned from them.

I think that's just a Lemmy-UI bug. Try a different frontend and block from there. The blocks are API based, so when you switch back to your main/preferred UI, the block should be there.

You can block them after you’ve been banned. I’ve done it for the comms I’m banned from. It’s in your block settings page.

The whole modlog is a PTB-fest.

...I gave the meme a check because of how silly it looks like. Apparently it's a visual pun, the text can be read like "be a man" (i.e. man up) or "be a leg".

You're forgetting that trolls exist.

This wasn't a power tripping bastard, it was just an asshole trying to fuck around. They're already banned afaict. The communities they started are

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

A troll can also be a PTB since anyone can create communities and ban people from them.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I guess so. Just doesn't seem the same to me.

Kinda hard to be on a power trip from the mod actions when the point is to mess with people. That definitely is a power trip in its own right, or can be, I just don't think of it as the same kind that this community focuses on, ya know? It's essentially semantics, or quibbling over things though, not something I'd get het up over. Anyone that thinks it is, I ain't mad :)

OP on the post you were banned on is... odd. Just a common troll though.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

So, I've been seeing a lot of content from SDF lately, what's the deal with them? What is the focus of the instance?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Sdf is usually a really chill old school tech instance based around a publicly accessible Unix server. However, in this case, a rogue account made a bunch of communities and being a transphobic chud while the admins are asleep/ being poked by the community (they’re mostly on said public Unix system).

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.

YTPB 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.
