Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

864 readers
139 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.

Apparently I don't have the mods account it's just verified on the app. Seems like mods on certain comms just make up whatever placeholder reasoning when you don't break the rules. I thought you had to blame the victim to victim blame and my post didn't blame anyone for anything.

Looking at your responses in the most favorable way you are using the word accept in a different way than what people typically mean when they say "accept your family". Comment should still be removed, though.

Yeah I can't blame people for not understanding me and thinking a completely different thing based on one word I used

I'm the mod. If you want to see which mods do what, https://phtn.app/ shows it all iirc.

This was the context you left out: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38049576

A post on [email protected] of you telling someone they should accept their abusive parents. Seriously? And you think comparing yourself to their father is a good thing?

Really? You think you can go to a mental health community and tell victims to just accept their abusers? Read the room, man. I just inherited the community, too, so i'm not done actually revamping the rules.

I, and anybody else who had abusive parents would look at this and flat out say YDI.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 20 hours ago

I said accept that their father is a negative person, not accept their abuser as you put it. It's actually good advice are they supposed to think constantly about their father is verbally abusive, not repress it?

That may be inappropriate and I may disagree with him but it is not a victim blaming. He may have broken other rules (I am not familiar with that particular community) but not this one.

YDI, y i k e s

Pardon my French, but what I'm getting from your message is that you enjoy being an asshole (put out negative energy).

If so, don't you find it "interesting" when someone else (the mod in question) "puts out" negative energy towards you? That might be interesting for the mod as well.

Every day is a gift right? Well, accepting the mod's action will help you out. You "have to accept" that.

Putain de bordel de merde ça me casse les couilles, we are not that vulgar.

Ah, the language of love! Magnifique!

I like how I get to the end and no one explains how I'm wrong, but yeah you're pushing out negative energy but you're doing this for some perceived sense of justice or you want to hurt my feelings. I'm stating how the world is, it's not like I'm creating negative people

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

it’s not like I’m creating negative people

Very wrong there, negative dude. There's a couple sayings related to this, I'll exemplify.

  • a rotten apple spoils the bunch
  • what you give is what you get
  • for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction
  • at every party there's always a downer to sour the mood

There's plenty explanations how you're wrong, you're just not getting them. But I'll try to explain it with your negative energy thing.

Negative energy seeks out positive energy and sucks it out, leaving only negative energy behind. So the only result of that is negative energy meeting negative energy. Your negative energy brings out the negative energy in others and they have no choice but to send their negative energy back your way. That's how the world is.

Rotten apple apple the bunch is meant to be litteral ironically(don't store store rotten apples with good apples) and people really don't like when I give the what I got from them. I like sharing my what I know and my opinion.

No one is actually explaining how I'm wrong just that they don't like what I'm doing. I do like how you essentially get my point that negative people will make a negative environment even if it's positive.

I'm litterally saying that's how the world is not everyone is super cheery and pro social. Sometimes they're POS and you have to accept that about them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I get it and it's fine in the sense that you can choose to be how you want to be. But you should accept that everyone else can do the same. And they can choose not to accept or tolerate POS behavior.

As long as some sort of free will exists, someone will choose to do things differently. Accepting the world as it is isn't an obligation, it's a choice we can refuse to make at any point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's actually a different concept than what I'm saying, but I can tell comment section isn't here to hear me out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Different views on life are hard to reconcile. More so when expressing them doesn't come out clearly.

You can either try another way or give up and move on.

Reading the context provided in the other comments, I'm gonna have to go with YDI here as well.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 20 hours ago

Why's that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd say you're just being an inconsiderate asshole here. Then again, I have this feeling you get that a lot and you've just accepted yourself as who you are.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I have accept who I am? How am I being inconsiderate asshole? I generally think it's nice to actually care enough to give advice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Are you for real? :D I can see now you haven't accepted yourself for who you are, as you cannot see the fault in yourself here. But maybe saying "you are an inconsiderate asshole" is wrong, as I don't even know you, but rather that you constantly come across as an inconsiderate asshole. Like did you at all stop to think how your "advice" (that you so graciously have gifted the OOP with) might be perceived by someone in their position? Can you at all place yourself into "their shoes" so to say and gauge how your actions (or rather words in this case) might make them feel? It's ok if you don't, I can't do that always, but I acknowledge that as a personal shortcoming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah it's funny that everyone trying to give me a taste of my own medicine with their spin. Like yeah I empathize with them and I'm trying to help and it actually came from my personal life.

You'll accept the different kinds of people that exist in this world maybe not today.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If you empathize with them, then why are you being such a fucking cunt? In my eyes that's even worse than not being able to empathize, that's just being a fucking cunt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not seeing how I'm a cunt. This might be a 4 blind men and and a dead elephant situation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I’m not seeing how I’m a cunt.

There's your problem.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Guess people on lemmy have effective muteness they just can't communicate what they mean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, okay sure. Let's leave it at that. This seems like playing chess with a pigeon etc.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 15 hours ago

Guess you're the pigeon, but nah hostility doesn't mean anything to me. You obviously haven't read my advice or processed the actual meaning

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Gotta go with YDI here. This was posted in a mental health community which has this rule:

All posts and comments must be helpful and supportive. Do not put vulnerable people at risk.

OP was venting about their abusive parents and the mental health problems they struggle with because of that abuse. You were not helping OP. OP's story resonated with me and I absolutely would not want to read your comment if I were them, I would be pretty offended by it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I disagree with your comment but don't think such comments should be deleted by mods unless it's specifically posted in a positivity-focused community. If users have a different opinion they can downvote the comment or put their arguments in a separate comment below.

Mental health discussion doesn't have to be all positive, but telling someone they should accept abusers is completely wrong.
