I don't know how to see deleted comments but I said something like "is there a link here I'm just not seeing? This is a screenshot of a reddit post"

After looking at their profile I see that OP, the only mod, is a very pro-russia. Go figure lol

I don't actually care that I'm banned from a reddit repost community but I thought it was funny that it was the result of asking for a source

You forgot to ask for a suppressed source. Will report back once Im also banned.

(There is no rule on that sub about asking for a source)

Best of luck to you!

Your comment is gone - did you get banned?

[-] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I still see it there, along with a few other commenters.

Edit: looks like it finally got deleted 😂

People fleeing the horrors of war is a reality in every war. Here is a story from 2023 about Ukrainians fleeing to Romania. Having said that, the post in that community doesn’t seem to be about news — suppressed or otherwise — but propaganda.

Yeah, I'm not even doubting the story. I just have a problem with posting images as "news"

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 24 points 3 days ago

We wouldn't have to flee the war if russia didn't start it, so there's that

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 19 points 3 days ago

Ha, that's pretty funny in a semi depressing kind of way.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I just blocked them. Just another community I will skip. If they generate something worth seeing I will pick it up elsewhere. I doubt I will see anything useful there. Looks like a shill machine.

The Frank Sinatra post was news to me so I thought it might be good. Oh well

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

There many things about Frank Sinatra that were shady. It isn't suppressed news its just all history at this point. Few cared at the time and even fewer care now.

I would accepted the link included in the subreddit it came from! Every other post I saw on there included a source.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 14 points 3 days ago

That mod is a Russian apologist.

[-] JonsJava@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Without knowing the context, I'd say PTB, because they did a ban with removal, thereby hiding the validity of the ban.

Knowing the context, yeah, same outcome.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Looks like they ran out of posts to copy and paste from reddit so maybe it'll be the last we see of them

[-] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago

PTB

But weird to me that people use this post as a basis to go to another community and start doing exactly what got the OP banned.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Eh I don't think it's that weird. It's shitty behavior and people enjoy pointing it out.

Hopefully it's obvious I didn't intend for a brigade, though. Just included the link for reference

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1772 readers
2 users here now

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.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.
