Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1805 readers
282 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.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

Y'all just let us fine users on instances where nothing ever happens know how that all plays out.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 15 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

But both rimu and Skavau are defending Kaplans actions of defedederating anarchist nexus and mostly likely db0 soon. Hell rimu followed without question.

Actions always speak louder than words (or in this case pictures)

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 hours ago

What a shock that Rimu hates antizonists more than mass murder.

[–] science4life@mander.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

Shitbags are shitbags.

Huh

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 0 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

At no point did I ever say that defederating anarchist.nexus was right, else piefed.social would have done the same. Defending or trying to understand Kaplan's reaction doesn't automatically make you a zionist.

[–] science4life@mander.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

Look at this shitbag.

look of course he did because people like the former admin wouldn't accept anything else

Seems like agreeing.

else piefed.social would have done the same.

But piefed.social did defed based on rimu saying they were doing the same in response to Kaplan saying it had happened?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like agreeing.

Not regarding defederation it isn't.

https://piefed.social/c/anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus

We are not defederated. Blaze's account here is literally from anarchist.nexus.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Oh sorry, rimu just did his usual delete from db of an users not a full defedederation.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Piefed allows admins to delete accounts locally, but that hasn't got anything to do with defederation. I don't think this has specifically happened to any anarchist-nexus member.

This is just "people can get banned and get banned in a more intense way" on Piefed.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 3 hours ago

They did not defed A.N they banned Luminous.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (9 children)

I don't have much informations about the admin and piefed. Does they generally remove zionist comments and ban zionists users?

Putting a Palestinian flag means nothing, if Israeli apologist still run free and people rejected Palestinians right to armed resistance

Important note that this is just a community ban, not an instance ban. Mm is not an admin.

That said, MM has always been a bit trigger happy. This wouldn't be even noticed if they didn't moderate so many comms, or if the modlog would automatically conflate all comm bans by one mod into a single entry.

Anyway, I do find that jumping to call people zionists or nazis at the drop of a hat is not healthy

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 9 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

This doesn't even make sense. How is supporting palestine "emulating a zionist". Is this mod just an idiot?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Rimu went straight to defense of MrKaplan and attacking luminous for being anti-zionist, to the point of Kaplan defederating from anarchist.nexus.

Kind of a words vs actions thing here. IMO, rimu is firmly in the wrong, but I also see no reason for MM to preventively ban, but not my comm so not my decision.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

So what you're saying is that the banning has absolutely nothing to do with anything in Blaze's post and he's just either intentionally or ignorantly misdirecting us.

BTW, this is what Marxist was referring to (albeit in a way that was so confusing I didnt even follow at first)

For reference:

https://anarchist.nexus/post/603903

Just browse around for rimu.

Edit: and @Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com made a great summary in that thread of Kaplan's behavior.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It makes for very confusing arguments when one person doesn't have important context and the other doesn't know that person doesn't have it.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

tbf, I knew the context and I didn't follow their comments at first either, so I get it

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 3 points 4 hours ago

Marxists do tend to speak in riddles 🤔

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 hours ago

Blaze can get blinded by their love/prefer towards piefed platform. It's not the first time they've been willing to run cover for it and rimus particular design choices.

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Supporting a cause? Sounds like something a Zionist would do

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago (6 children)

The individual in question doesn't support Palestine, OP added that 'I have a black friend'-level of nonsense to draw on sympathy.
