What's the deal @PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf?
Yeah, he banned me recently too.
They've banned everyone who downvoted this post, which includes you. I'm not familiar with the 60 minutes/CBS situation, but if the Daily Mail thinks it's a good thing then it must be bad. PTB.
I just downvoted to see if I get banned too
generalnews
daily mail
Yeah there’s a compatibility issue here
LOL, what a snowflake
Seems like a dickhead move to block anyone who used their vote... If they said something that violated rules I'd be more understanding.
downvoting to test!
Same.
I've accidentally down voted a load of posts
Yeah, looks like the dude is a troll and a straight-up dipshit. They unintentionally did you a favor.
looks like maybe an alt of Grail, since @papaskwat@lemmy.wtf has a multiverse.soulism.net account and that's just a personal instance filled with alts. they have the same style of accusing everyone they get into even a minor argument with of being a bigot in the most convoluted and intellectually bankrupt ways imaginable. take these gems, for example:
Diversity is a good thing, wouldn’t you agree? You aren’t against diversity are you? Because diversity of opinion counts as diversity as well.
What do you do for work? I’m curious because the vast majority of people on Lemmy are actually “tech bros.” If you have a job in tech, then you are one.
they give off the same I Am Very Smart, freeze peach vibes as Grail as well.
PapaSkwat is an alias of a well-known fediverse troll and you're not missing out anything by being banned from their shit ass communities.
That’s just the proof of goof.
I mean, I don't disagree, but it's definitely Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme shit.
SMCF is easily among the most recognizable names on Lemmy, and not just because their username-choosing skills are god-tier. And I have yet to see them troll.
Name and shame, sweetie?
They have an alt on multiverse.soulism.net, which is a massive red flag
Oh yeah, I recall someone from over there sharing a bizarre thesis with me a while back.
What is multiverse.soulism.net?
That's Grail's instance, another fairly well known...... Individual on the fediverse.
Oh, what's the tea on multiverse I've missed?
I may be wrong but I believe I was told it was Donald j musk
He has his own instance now. I wish he'd fuck off to it and stay there.
Yeah, you're not wrong lol
I told him you were a dick. You're welcome.
I am a dick, thank you Dr.
(Using an alt since infosec.pub seems to be down)

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.
