I've seen someone on lemmy make that very same argument. That person seems quite delusional.
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
Social Media can agree on two thinga:
- luigi did nothing wrong
- Pedos go into the woodchipper
One caveat to the second one. Child molesters go into the woodchipper. As long as they're a "nonpracticing" pedo who is going to therapy and knows that their attraction to children is wrong then they're fine. It is a mental illness after all. But the moment they do anything to a child then straight to a woodchipper, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
1000% and thank you for clarifying this, it is a very important distinction!
Remove all nuance and go with the crowd
Free Luigi.
We can't agree on these two things as a society, we will never get universal health IMHO
I think you may wanna look outside the lands of America and UK
Yikes, PTB
What is PTB? I assume it's not about tuberculosis but that's all I'm finding.
Sidebar has a few of the commonly used abbreviations for this community. Ptb is power tripping bastard.
Oh Jesus, I miss the obvious things, for some reason I thought it was some other kind of slang. I need more sleep.
Thanks!
Either I'm banned or they don't federate with lemm.ee
What was the post about?
Edit who downvotes such a question?
This /C is some dude posting his ideas, that are mostly shit, and looks like it aways come to the point of having sex with teens, no matter the subject
Yea i cant see it either, says post doesnt exist. They must've deleted it out of shame.
Yeah, post has been deleted, and was locked before that.
I downvote random posts all the time while scrolling. I like to think I usually catch it but I'm sure I miss a few. Whenever I get random downvotes on innocuous comments I just assume it's from someone else doing the same.
Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Conversely I hate when I up vote really bad stuff on accident.
Think they may have removed the community because of the attention.
holy shit. ew. ptb. but also ew.
