Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.
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.
- 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.

!196@lemmy.world probably did the biggest power tripping move since the creation of Lemmy with their failed attempt at migrating from blahaj to LW without asking the community first.
I wouldn't spend too much time investigating this, !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a much better community
Blaze why do you hate that community so much? You commit so much time to tearing them down.
Blaze hates .world with a passion.
Oh yes, that's why I'm the one keeping alive
Also, if the LW community team could avoid mower tripping to try to xintimidate" me when I post elsewhere than LW or whatever that was: https://lemmy.world/post/24489154
They also admitted that they consider Federation to be a "divorce feature" and that the best experience is centralized

I respect the sysadmins work, but some people in the LW community should really reassess their stance towards centralization and other instances.
hahaha gottem XD
pj hates blahaj.zone with a passion.
It's not hate, it's just not enjoying when a mod team decides to lock a community and force the members to move to another instance without even asking them first.
And the numbers speak for themselves: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=196&order=active_month
So what about all the people who were banned from blahaj back in december for dissent?
What 196 are they supposed to use?
Literally the biggest poster on 196 was banned and was forced to move over to .world despite them saying they are ok with Neopronouns. And everyone just called them a TERF instead of listening to them.
From my perspective that is not really an inclusive community concerned with protecting LGBTQ people, it's blatant suppression of dissent.
Most people who were banned for "Gatekeeping" then and since then were really just banned because the admins didn't like them despite them dispite not breaking rules.
You keep posting numbers, but you then ignore the dedicated base for the world community that is not going away.
No one was banned for dissent. People were banned for gatekeeping, misgendering and repeatedly and/or deliberately misgendering folk.
The rule is don't misgender and gatekeep other folks and block or ignore them if you can't deal with their identity or pronouns. The modlog is right there. If you can find a single instance of someone getting banned without breaking that or another rule, I want to know about it
So nobody was banned for dissent, but you will unban people who were banned for Gatekeeping because they weren't actually Gatekeeping?
So if they weren't banned for dissent or Gatekeeping, what was the reason?
I let them know, but this is really inconsistent policy
You seem to know a lot about the whole story for a 20 days old account.
The two people who posted there in the last 24 hours?
https://lemmy.world/c/196?dataType=Post&sort=New
I have to uae burners because I don't want my main account banned from blahaj from them lurking here
I've talked with them and why they post there every day deapite the other communities existing, and that's what they said.
From what I can tell that whole community is there because of the christmas ban wave, most of them are trans people who said they never gatekept and respect Neopronouns.
They also said you specifically lurk these threads and resort to personal attacks against people who crtique blahaj, like pointing at account age instead of engaging in good faith with the people who got banned from blahaj admin abuse.
You still haven't told me who was that main poster who was banned.
Not sure who is the one not engaging in good faith in this conversation.
After asking if I could share they said they don't want their main account getting banned from blahaj in retaliation.
I'm sorry
