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.

It is :) Most cis boys don't enjoy playing as girls, it's a very eggy thing to do.
Take your gender norm enforcement elsewhere.
Yep, every guy who ever played tomb raider is actually trans.
Did you play it because it was a fun game, or did you play it because you could be a girl in that game? ๐
I'm a cis girl irl, so that's kinda hard to answer
Pro-tip: Cis people really shouldn't be giving pointers when it comes to the trans experience.
You're literally asking for the perspective of cis people who play as the opposing gender in games. You're not discussing the trans experience.
I've played plenty of 3rd person games as male and female. If there's not an option, I did it because it's the game I want to play. If there's an option, such as in an RPG, I sometimes do it because I role play.
I used to do it too to roleplay, and for some people it means nothing, but if you're doing it all the time or regularly, it's more likely that might be a sign... I did it all the time, I even drew pictures of myself as a girl, all the signs were there.
Going out of ones way to Do it every time and drawing yourself is an order of magnitude more significant.
Exactly and that's the context of the situation in the original post I commented in, and the connection that mod was trying to deny.
We're not discussing that right now. Just about other people playing games as women. In the original situation that got you banned it's because you kept forcing the egg against the comm rules.
We all know that that rule was probably added by that mod and it also really doesn't make sense in a trans community about breaking out of the egg.
Well, I think that someone who fundamentally doesn't understand why eggs are called eggs shouldn't be giving pointers either. I think that people in general shouldn't be in the business of telling others what to think and feel. But that's just me.
Or maybe we want to stare at a female ass while playing a third person game.

Smaller hit-boxes too? ๐
