I know that guy. He's a fucking troll. I don't know how he got to be the mod of that community. Seriously.

Link the modlog.

It's a common trend among these communities.

Just call whoever you disagree with a troll, then you don't have to argue and mods can censor them.

Please make screenshots a little more narrow to make them easier to read, thank you! 💜💜

You have direct attacks on users based on their instance in your screenshots, fam.

I mean, I say the same things, I just don't cry when the obvious .ml alt bans me for it.

Just instance-block .world, as the reddit refugees end up there, the least worst will naturally filter out to other smaller instances in a helpful Darwinian selection process

Lemmy is drawn almost entirely from Reddit refugees. The occasional mastodon user wandering in with @s at everything doesn't change that.

Right, and my ideal situation is that all the low-quality ones stay on .world and the rest filter out to join us on smaller instances.

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.
