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.

PugJesus has always been terrible :/
I remember them raging over neopronouns over on blåhaj f.ex
PTB
He still is, this time about being banned from db0 for it. 😂 Surprisingly thin skinned.

Firstly, yeah, no one was trying to force him to call dragons real, he just kept screaming that at the top of his lungs and My God he's STILL going. He very much equated being told he had to use a person's stated pronouns, in this case "drag", with being "forced" to call dragons real. I'd chase up the posts but I just can't fluffing care anymore.
Secondly, as someone that's disabled and incontinent, this makes me so bloody depressed. Please be better than this when calling people out, it's ableism to treat incontinence like this. There's a reason that roughly 70% of incon folks (depending on the study) would rather have a limb amputated than continue to be incontinent.
(Edit: To clarify, the second quote here was the OP of this post, not PJ.)
I'm happy to admit that my personal views on neopronouns have evolved from "somewhat skeptical, but I'll go along with it" initially to "fully on board" as I've learned more about the topic directly from other trans folk on Lemmy and irl. 💗
He's still butthurt about that for months afterwards. He'll be on his deathbed smirking "heh, owned those leftists who tried to make me a better person. I sure showed them."
No no you don't understand, he has chronic pain so that justifys all his actions and words, he's always right!! /s
When my arm was at its worst before reconstructing my shoulder twice, I often wanted to just chop it off. The amputation would have been better than the constant nerve pain that I still feel every now and again.
PugJesus probably is chronically ill. I'm not going to play the disability Olympics. He is allowed to state it and not required to share his medical history.
But man it feels like he uses it as a fallback anytime someone calls him out on anything.
The second quote was the OP of this post calling out PJ. I wouldn't bother with trying to correct PJ anymore. I also don't really give a fluff if he's disabled or not, it's not carte blanche to do whatever you want.
If you correct PJ, he'll call you a fascist as he just defends genocide, neoliberalism, and anything that might stop fascism.
And yeah, it's not carte blanche. It can explain but not excuse actions. I have 4 different mental health issues and like 3 physical ones. Sometimes I get crabby, very emotional, unable to control my body and how I feel.
But after I calm down I apologize and try to do better. I try to make right what I fucked up.
You and me both bestie. Importantly you make it right, and that's all we can do aside from striving to work on ourselves.
Most people, I'm coming to realize, never really believe in anything. It's all tribalistic bullshit, so the invocation of an identity, of group membership, is effectively the same as or maybe better than a moral statement of right/wrong to them.
Don't know about that :P
You are an awful gatekeeping transphobic person. These views you are sharing are extremely transphobic and hurtful. Trans friendly communities ask people to use and respect neopronouns because respecting people's identities makes them feel safe and happy, and not doing so can cause distress and dysphoria. You're a fellow trans person, you should know better.
Most of what you are saying is a lie? No one was saying the attack helicopter or litterbox stuff, nor were we defending trolls. What we said is use neopronouns when requested, and report trolls as usual. Refer to people as they ask or ignore them, don't feed trolls if you think someone is a troll.
People kept engaging with the trolls rather than doing what we asked.
Honestly, people have no idea how to engage with trolling these days (don't).
Edit: Oh look at your modlog history :/ not a great person are you
This person also believes that xenogenders and probably Nonbinary people as well are hurting the trans community, they claim that we're making a fool of "actual trans people" and that we're "causing transphobia". Absolutely shitty person I have no idea why the admins of her home server or this one haven't banned her yet for being a transmedicalist ass.
Because it's transphobia.world
