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.
Relevant comms
YDI. the claims you made are either debunked or lack sufficient evidence (source) I'm not too familiar with AP News but I do know the other three sources you listed are known for promoting IDF / Israel propaganda
Associated Press is usually good. It's US based but it's usually unbiased and just reports facts. Their reporters were banned from entering the American presidential jet and palace almost as soon as Trump took office, so that should give an idea as to where AP's loyalties lay.
Oh, look... hasbara is butthurt because people weren't tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.
Yawn.
white supremacist propaganda.
Words have meaning my dude.
Oh, look… hasbara is still butthurt because people weren’t tolerating their white supremacist propaganda.
YDW, you should be fucking banned for trying to excuse genocide.
All those sources are knowm to lie for zionist propaganda. Take your hazbara lies elsewhere. The sea, perhaps, as you walk into it?
I genuinely think better of /worldnews for removing this. The fact they didn't ban you for advocating violence is evidence they're still licking boot though.
YDI. It's Israeli propaganda meant to justify Israel's ongoing atrocities.
I normally hate on world news, in fact I have blocked it for quite a while out of disgust.
But this is a correct call, they did good here. The source is bad, it’s widely known to be propaganda, and its uncritical spread by USA mainstream media is a seen as a massive failure of journalistic integrity.
In other words, if the world news mods see this as a bridge too far, then other pro Israeli people should use caution when passing this blindly.
If one wants to know more about the hostages and what they suffered, read independent Israeli media instead.
Israeli reports.
They are currently trying to ethnically cleanse a whole other group of people. I would take any reports they made about the group they are trying to exterminate with a very large grain of salt.
Idk how anyone can look at that source, the Dinah project and not see them as propaganda.
Yes, an independent investigation source would be preferred. This was removed because the investigators were not independent.
YDI.
You posted a propaganda piece and you are moaning about it being removed as a propaganda piece.
