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.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
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.
Relevant comms
yeah, need more input than those two screenshots.
what was the context? Did you had a run in with the mod before?
Did you had a run in with the mod before?
i’m not involved in this, purely an outside observer
well, that username certainly checks out.
More input. Just strange. I blew it off and moved on but if the same thing is happening to others even more aggressively then that's not okay
I erroneously reported one of his posts in a community on his instance and after I did not respond to his pm he stalked me to another community to harass me.
yeah that mod is certainly power tripping. Also that interaction is just weird.
I can't navigate away from redlemmy with just a backspace, I have to go to my search history and hop. I've seen similar behavior on ad supported sites. Is that a bug with mozilla or are they sticking a little redirect in front of traffic?
Dunno, I only use the Voyager app on my phone. Wouldn't shock me if there was a redirect though
Pretty scummy if it's intentional. Also a way to log traffic, especially IPs, and inject cookies.
Can someone elaborate more on what's going on? Did this person actually think that if you posted to a community on a different instance, that they couldn't remove the contents?
Maybe? The modlog shows they've also been banned from that community.
Given they're running their own instance, I'm sure they'll be back with a new account, so maybe the admins will block or defederate that instance.
Tiny angry king on a tiny angry little hill LMAO
When you get reported it goes to the mods of the community, the admins of that server, and the admins of your server. Or so I'm led to believe.
Perhaps someone intended to report them to that community and didn't know their admins would get it too.
it goes to the mods of the community, the admins of that server, and the admins of your server
this is correct.
i know some have suggested a feature change to Lemmy to allow us to chose to which party(s) the reports go to, but in the meantime the limitation precipitates a sort of gentleman’s agreement among admins (or at least admins that want to remain federated) not to abuse the reports that are clearly not for them.
yes, or at least didn’t care about the consequences of abusing admin responsibility and flaunting federation privileges.
Lol, I just dealt with that user the other day.
Edit: I just checked out that instance and decided to remove a name that I called them in the line above. That instance is a profile of untreated mental illness.
Small instance with respectful moderation staff
Yeah looking at this I'm not so sure about that. Seems like a very big PTB to me.
To be completely fair... The mods removed the comments. It was the admin that was causing problems 😄
It was the mods from another instance though, not the ones on his instance. Which is what the sidebar was describing. The instance moderation staff of redlemmy.com are anything but respectful, if this interaction we saw here is any indication.
Ah! Well then I stand corrected.
yep that’s why “bastard” is a hierachy-neutral term :P
where/how did you find that quote? /gen curious
It's from the sidebar on the complaining admins's Instance, redlemmy.com, it's the top line.
oh, slay- for the life of me cannot find out how to open their sidebar but i believe you haha
It's under the little about dropdown on the side.
Photon UI can be a bit complicated, I don't really understand why someone would set up an Instance with Photon but not having the simpler Lemmy UI as a fallback, that just doesn't make sense to me.
interesting combo of YDI, CLM, and PTB (the admin not the mod) here i think
"I am... inweencible!"
