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.

By who, pray tell? Because at the moment it seems like you're the only mod on the server doing so.
In which of these countries is it illegal to discuss jury nullification in the US?
Although you took actions that are based on a version of the rules that nobody else has access to?
Again, you're the only one acting on this topic. Who is asking you to do so? Right now it seems like you're being hung out to dry.
Weird, I'm seeing a ton of productive discussion in this thread
Because that's not the definition of tankie. Dancing on graves is not an aspect of any particular ideology.
Stop trying to push your fucking religion on everybody else. You're the mod of c/News, not c/Christianity.
an admin/community manager were involved in the discussion with me and other moderators
they will be making an announcement on the issue i don't know when i followed the direction from above to act on the reports and then to stop acting on them
the announcement will include the information
i do not know where the server is?
the version of the rules is the terms of service? https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
other mods removed posts and comments also the admins site banned people!
because you are discussing me? explain to me how can you have good-faith discussion of premeditated murder?
tankies kill without any respect for law and you are here encouraging this type of murder outside law and government how is it not the same?
you can read whatever book you want and what faith you desire
those that have no faith and do not read it is no surprise you become a murder cheering tankie
ask yourself why do the propaganda instances like .ml hexbear and lemmygrad support this and we are standing for civility?
Holy shit, you're still a mod?!? There's a difference between having faith and casting judgement on everyone else. Really fucking funny and ironic in this context.
You can have productive conversations on any topic. "Productive" here is an opinionated response, I've seen plenty of discussions involving the CEO roles/individuals and how harming the public might be viewed on a broader term since these companies have been documented doing just that. Interesting conversations diving into politics, class, morality, our justice system, etc etc on all these posts. It's unfortunate I have to enter into a meme community to have those though.

I thought only god could judge us you bloody hypocrite.
I was right, you're a fool. And you should not be a mod of any community. Especially when you're going on and fucking on about th TOS with contents that don't exist and oblivious to the content that is in there (like the server location).
Yes, and nothing in that ToS actually prohibits the behaviour you are complaining about. Do you know why ToS and similar documents exist? So everybody has the same expectations and guidelines, and we can clearly see when somebody has stepped over the line. You've now declared that the ToS is invalid, and we're being judged based on a new one that will be Coming Soon^TM^. That's where this entire situation crosses the line into abuse of power, because instead of being impartial and enforcing the rules, you're enforcing your personal likes and desires onto the rest of us. Ironic, for somebody who claims that only God can judge anybody.
What's so difficult to understand? We're having a discussion. The entire internet is having a discussion right now. Some of it is crap-tier, but that applies to any content online. Others are learning stuff, engaging and growing their minds. What exactly is bad-faith about this?
You keep using the term 'tankies'. Do you actually know what it means? None of the things you've ascribed to them thus far have any actual relevance to their ideology. And now I'm annoyed that you're making me defend them.
It is unrelated, as it has nothing to do with our ideologies and political beliefs.
Nice to know your opinion of atheists and agnostics. I'm fairly certain that that statement breaks some of the .world ToS. Also, when did you become this judgemental? Only god should judge, you know.
The entire bloody internet is supporting this right now. Even the major news outlets have had to change their tune and switch from focusing on the 'brutal horror' to discussing why everybody's cheering the executioner on. Why? Because this has transcended the bullshit political boundaries and made people realise it's class warfare. Fuck the culture wars. Want to make things better? Scare a billionaire tonight.
