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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.

"and constantly accusing an entire political party of being “regime whores”"
you are misrepresenting my thesis but banning me... 1 month ago WrenFeathers
You admitted to shitposting. That’s why you’re banned. PoliticalMemes isn’t a shitpost community.
And nothing was misrepresented. If you misspoke, the onus is on you to correct it. But you leaned into it- multiple times. 1 month ago sunzu2
"You admitted to shitposting. That’s why you’re banned." thats not why but that's ok. i clearly state on multiple occasion within the thread that both sides are regime whores. you are misrepresenting my position... 1 month ago WrenFeathers
That is absolutely why you’re banned. I’m the one that banned you. I get to qualify it- you don’t.

You’re free to appeal if you think his was unfair. But as of now- it stays.
And if you think I’m being biased, check the mod logs. I remove uncivil comments/posts only. Regardless of political bias. And if you knew how much of your stuff was reported that I/we left as is because it didn’t break rules, maybe you’d see things more evenly.
Come back in a few days and follow the rules. 1 month ago sunzu2
I am fine with a ban, but i don't like having my core position being misrepresented by a mod after a ban. the regime whore term is not specific for either party, it covers both sides. your comment implies that I am siding with one party and i can't correct the record. it aint right.
My staff is reported because people don't like the thesis and the delivery style, which is the entire point of the exercise here. People won't like their opinions challenged, especially from unexpected vector. I don't think that it violates actual rules with few exceptions (back and forth with people who do name calling). People are reporting me to censor the content so that's something to consider from a mod perspective.
Finally, shitposter is term dating back over 20 years, people regularly admit being shitposter. I have extensive posting history on this handle. I did not post in bad faith as suggested above. This is my thesis but I do keep it fun when off topic.
Either way, appreciate the time and the response. 1 month ago WrenFeathers
Trust me, I know why people report.
Both sides if this debate report things they don’t like. And i HATE having to say “both sides.”
You broke the rules.
I don’t enjoy removing comments, let alone users from this community. But the rules are there for a reason.
And yes… There are grey areas to them which in this, I try and exercise leniency.
If it helps- in the future, prefix your comment with things like “I think,” or “it seem to me that” so that it is phrased as opinion and not fact.
“It seems to be that liberals are ‘regime whores’”
I may totally disagree, but I cannot remove an opinion so long as it remains civil. 1 month ago sunzu2
So still no correction to the commemt misrepresenting my position? 1 month ago WrenFeathers
I removed your comments based on what you said, not what you intended to say.
Case closed. 1 month ago
Could you screenshot stuff because this was just illegible.

It seems they've actually been more than fair with you.
