Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

706 readers
130 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.

As if we didn't already know. I didn't know being against businesses using slave labor counted as bigotry, though.

Everyone should know by now that you can't criticize China or Hezbollah, on lemmy.ml.

Or China, Russia, North Korea, or anything else that vaguely labels itself “communist”

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

Its not about them being labelled communist, all that matters to them is if they are against the west. Cause apparently only the west can be imperialist

Step 1: Declare yourself a (Anarcho-)Communist

Step 2: Declare .ml to be reactionaries

Step 3: ???

Step 4: ~~Profit?~~ Communal Property?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Really want to know what step three is here. I’m pretty good at steps 1 and 2 by now.

Declare them Trotskyists and counterrevolutionary!

Russia is even funnier, given that they don't even do that anymore.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago

Don't use .ml

If you can't criticize the US, Russia, China, Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and every major religion (the religion itself, not it's followers), all in one go, you don't have true freedom.

Authority is inherently evil and should be scrutinized, regardless of which "side".

(Btw I don't even interact with .ml except a few like c/privacy, also the c/news in lemmy.world also have obnoxious mods)

By separating the institution from its "faithful", you risk deboning your own argument before it takes its first steps. Religion is an ancient method of control, and those within it are all peddlers of some form of its seed — unwitting, or no.

No one should have to make excuses for Religion's altogether insidious, pervasive, corruptive and vile existence. Kill every god, utterly. There is no heaven, and none of us get out of here alive. 😘

This thread has gone completely off the rails. Nobody is discussing whether the ban was deserved and instead there's only insults to the op, or arguments on who's worse USA or China. I'm locking this.

Please stick to judging whether they're mod action was deserved and not rehashing the talking points especially by flaming each other

On one hand, it's ridiculous that campists just can't accept any criticism of their "aes". On the other hand, you don't have to go to the every posts about something positive happening in this hell world to remind that they suck but if you do, I hope you also do the same about positive happenings in the USA and EU or you're just a hypocrite.

were you talking about US prisions?

or do you consider some of the service industry slave labor, which to be fair it is?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

The post was about BYD vehicles, but I'm happy to discuss other instances where it's relevant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

its ml, any criticism of china will be censored

being banned there and .world news and politics subs is just normal part of any self respecting shit posters fedi career.

freedom enjoyers setting more communities on smaller servers as we speak. seek them out!

ml and world control too many big subs and they use them to censor opinions that dont fit their propaganda.

this sub exposes how pervasive mod miscondcut is, now we know, time to decentralized. let them keeo their echo chambers

Facts are bigotry

There's no facts in deleted post and on my guess there's no bigotry, it mostly looks like trolling or disinformation.
