I feel like using Lemmy.ml here is cheating.
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.
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.
Relevant comms
perhaps I should have posted in !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works but that sub is basically preaching to the choir
You can cross-post it there, I feel like there is merit to having this get as much exposure as possible. Also !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org is another good one, it's a bit smaller but still good place to share stuff like this.
Still good to collect stuff there
Ye that's a ptb
I feel like we need something along the lines of "ML - Yes, that's lemmy.ml" added to the acronym list. Or maybe "WKB - Well known bastards"?
What's rule 1 anyway? I don't want to wade into that cesspool to find out?
Rule 1 is whatever they want it to be. They don't moderate anything in good faith at ml.
instance rule 1 is no bigotry.
Since dessalines is not a mod but an instance admin I assume that’s the justification for the removal.
"Open-ended question"
Edit: Why you two downvoting this? I literally just quoted the rule to answer their question. lol
I think the instance reason was why it was removed. Otherwise that would be extremely weird enforcement of open ended questions rule. Enforcing it on a random comment, while the original post itself is a single yes/no question…
