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:

  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.

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


Some acronyms you might see.

DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated…..

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

Locking this topic because y'all clearly can't stop trying to argue politics. Please use the relevant comms instead and not the comments of YPTB posts.

Hey! I was the commenter! I've since been banned from there, but I did keep calling out the mod. 😆

I believe my last comment before being banned contained the phrase 'sad piss baby'.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

At least your voice is heard here. I saw this and just felt it needed to be called out.

The immigration judge literally said there was no proof he was MS-13.

Plaintiff Abrego Garcia is not a member of or has no affiliation with Tren de Aragua, MS-13, or any other criminal or street gang. Although he has been accused of general “gang affiliation,” the U.S. government has never produced an iota of evidence to support this unfounded accusation.

Trump's attempts at "proving" he was MS-13 was a laughably bad photoshop of "ms13" across his knuckles that took exactly 5 seconds of searching to disprove.

I mean, a concerted effort to lie about known facts in a massive disinformation campaign, is unironically a reason why he is in office now. Though no way they see that context.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah it's it's shit server bro

[–] [email protected] 134 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This is also blatant misinformation. No judge ever made a finding that he was associated with MS-13. The government asserted it in court but it's never been proven. The immigration proceedings largely revolved around his asylum application, interview, and testimony.

So they're lying in an attempt to make it sensational enough to bust past due process. For an example of how that looks long term, check Duterte's regime in the Philippines. Many people were killed extrajudicially and written off as drug dealers.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

The absolute bonked-zonkers thing about this is that they've fully memory-holed that even if this guy was undeniably part of MS-13, the group they were going after and who they had authorized this extra-judicial violence against was tren de aragua. Members of MS-13 should still, under their initial claims, not be able to be deported without trial like this.

I thought non citizens also had a right to a fair trial?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

with due process exceptions, anyone can be labelled 'non citizen' and treated without due process.

either everyone has due process, or no one is.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

They're supposed to. But unfortunately Trump and his DOJ are wiping their ass with the Constitution. So I wouldn't count on any due process in this country for the next 4 years unless we can replace Congress and get that fucker out.

We have our very own r/conservative (degrogatory) now.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Why can't they stay on their shit and be miserable there, they always follow us around and try and wreck whatever we make like the petulant whiny brats they are. I don't go into their shitholes, why can't they just stay out of our house

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

Because they can’t stand being around other people like themselves.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Because conservative idiots aren't content talking to each other in their own spaces, they seek to force their ideas onto other people, even those who wish not to listen to them. It's why they shut exploding-heads down, they were widely defederated and couldn't force their ideas onto other people easily.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Not even they like each other. They want a constant supply of docile victims.

HC not beating the "just a reskinned exploding heads" allegations

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Don't say that too loudly or one of their admins will come to argue it's totally different trust us

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 days ago (11 children)

There’s a good reason for that.

"He's MS-13!" Prove it in court then. Fuck me I'm tired of Americans being 100% wrong about everything and then trying to sound adult by having lengthy 'debates' about it.

Nazi instance supporting Nazis, not a shock.

PTB, clear and simple. Someday they will be mass defederated. I don't think my instance gets them, but I haven't been looking for more digital self harm by reading Nazis advocating for my kind to be removed.

Thanks for this. I have some "conservative" communites blocked, but I didn't know about "conservativeS." Added to the list.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

No problem. Yeah. Everyone should know about them.
