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.

Jordanlund removing links for being hosted on Substack again (kbin.melroy.org)

Since yesterday, Jordanlund is continuing to remove reporting like that from the reputed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_Site_News (article depicted in the screenshot is https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/israeli-spy-yoni-koren-stayed-jeffrey-epstein-apartment-ehud-barak?utm_source=publication-search) just for being hosted with substack. He is now moderating World News and Politics at lemmy.world.

Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.

goodness, that is not the point. That means these outlets post to their own website while also reposting the thing on twitter. In so many cases, their own website uses substack/wordpress! For example, https://time.com is the official website of Time magazine, as in the publisher of Time Person of the Year. It uses WordPress, as you can see by going to https://time.com/wp-admin/.

If he wants to target blogspam, he should be targeting things like The Daily Beast and https://www.utubepublisher.in/, which use none of the technologies he's targeting. This ban on CMS technology is arbitrary and does not prevent poor publishing that simply registers a domain, as anyone may register a domain.

4 hours ago, Jordanlund comments "Blogsites, including substack, are not allowed." on the post "Israeli Spy Stayed for Weeks at a Time at Jeffrey Epstein's apartment "

Christ, he's still a moderator over there? What a joke of an administration. Guess they expected us to forget how much of a dishonest piece of shit Jordan is, or that he'd somehow change his ways despite how obvious it is that he has no intention of doing so.

He has been given full acceptance and approval from the admins of world so he's also never going to improve.

At this point I'm inclined to believe Jordan just is the admin, the admin is an alt account of Jordan.

Worst than that, they realize he's the only one who will do exactly what they ask for and tons of free mod work

He was removed from some comms but didn't think worldnews was one of them.

And has been modding at least the last month

I was only removed from, I think 2 communities? Been modding the rest all along.

Not an issue when people follow the posted rules of the communities. 😉

I would suggest you lead by example but that'd fall on deaf ears

It's the only reason, no one else would deal with this. I hope if I caused such a constant shitstorm my admins would remove me.

I'm nowhere near talented enough to be an Admin.

I don't think it's fair to single out Jordan. It's the entire admin and much of the mods. .world could rework their rules at any time but they don't. There's a reason for it.
