jordanlund is a hypocritical, irrational, corporate-bootlicking shill, and archetype of the duplicitious performative liberal. They have literally and unironically argued that only corporate and billionaire-owned media qualify as “news.” Their opinions and actions are worth less than dirt and they should be removed and barred from every community they have privilege in.

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.
- Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
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.
- 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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Good thing the other mods there are okay and accepting of their actions. And not just because the admins of world are fine with him
Fuck Lindsey Graham 😅
I wonder if hitler died during our time you will find those idiotic mods removing posts and comments celebrating his death
More than likely. @jordanlund@lemmy.world has proven themselves to be pretty consistent and generally even handed with this for the most part. Whether or not you agree with the rule.
It's not even a new rule or the first time it's been protested here. If anyone feels it isn't being applied fairly, make sure to report those that aren't being caught. Then there would be something to complain about.
Reminder, this is the feddi. If the rule is that egridious, you can create your own community.
There are several similar communities already. Whatever Jordan and crew are doing over there seems to work for a lot of people. Make of that what you will.
Yeah so consistent. He admitted that he temporally suspended the rule for Kissinger. He is very dogmatic too
Reminder, this is the feddi. If the rule is that egridious, you can create your own community.
I hate this argument a lot. Yeah you can use other communities because of the decentralization. It still doesn't solve the network effect, most people keep posting on the biggest communities. I think big communities should have a voting systems to replace mods or keep them every year. I also have my own community so I am not just a complainer
They openly made an exception one time. That doesn't seem very inconsistent. I agree that if you're going to have rules and if those rules are supposed to be important. You shouldn't be making it exceptions to them. It weakens them. But a lot of other people outside Kissinger have died. And there haven't been any more exceptions that I'm aware of. I'm also not claiming total awareness either. If there are others point them out. That's valid criticism.
Hate the argument all you want. Network effect is just an excuse not to try. That world news community wasn't the first was it? Didn't it face the network effect itself? I 100% use smaller communities in a number of instances to combat such effects. And I'm far from the only one.
Like I said I am trying and many other does it . It still a fact network effects exists and people gravitate to the biggest communities even if they don't like the mod . I believe the lemmy.world worldnews is the second created worldnews community after the ml one which is managed by pro russia mods
Remind me again why we are down voting each other? We seem to be having a pretty reasonable conversation overall I think.
I've certainly never denied the existence of the network effect. Look for yourself you won't find it. But it's not just the network effect. I think plenty of people generally prefer not to have things generally give way into celebration of death and general hate parties. Especially when it comes to larger communities. It's probably a general bonus not to have it for them. To be frank I'm not really aware of many larger communities that don't have that at least as a unspoken if not enumerated rule. And honestly for myself that's fine. I have no shortage of places I can go to do that sort of thing if I want to on the fediverse. Though ironically for that very reason many of them are fairly small.
I'm not saying Lund is perfect by any stretch. I don't think any of us are. That this is getting a bit of a ridiculous dead horse to keep beating. That's a completely different issue. Also with respect to the network effect. With Lemmy 1.0 looking to have crosspost grouping/consolidation IIRC. The network effect is about to get a lot weaker regardless.
Well, it is .world after all, so PTB!
