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.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.

Are you banned from sh.itjust.works fully? And those are the only two communities you have interacted?
No, it's not an instance ban, there are still sh.itjust.works communities I'm subscribed to and not banned from.
They might be the two communites I've interacted with most (but it's mostly voting, it's been weeks since I've left a comment on either one).
yes it is an instance ban: https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] https://sh.itjust.works/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=14537229
nobody from SJW will see this post, as you're currently banned from their instance. mentions of their admins in this thread won't work, nor will any of your pms make it over there.
you were also banned by our LW automod for a minute until i reversed it: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=10371316
I've shared this thread directly with SJW admins on other channels for a review.
Oh wow. Any idea why?
Hi,
You were indeed site banned from SJW about 7 hours ago, which has now been reverted.
Sorry about that.
We manually review the stuff the automod does, but sometimes it can take a bit until we get to it.
And yes that domain was used by SEO spam bots. I'll tweak it to be less harsh for this particular one.
Peace ✌️
PS: Lemmy currently issues community bans whenever a site ban happens, which is somewhat confusing and is often subject of discussion here because people think they were community banned.
No worries, glad it got all cleared up!
the domain on the link you shared was previously used by spam bots
I see ... well, that was totally random then. It was just the first kind of useful article I could find regarding that topic and I didn't think anything else off it.
Thanks for your help!
