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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.

I'm not at all surprised by the negative talk, but removing the thread is a terrible look.
The news is still relevant, current, developing, and of interest to many people, including me.
Let people be jerks. If I recall, the first comment to be removed was about guillotines. Bad taste, yes, but c'mon.
Nobody removed the thread. There was one repost removal, but other than that, all I see in the modlog is comment removals and bans. The relevant, current, developing, and of interest story is not exactly a secret as of right now.
A thread I was following in News@lemmy.world is deleted. I had it saved and was referring back to it and other searches in hopes of updates as it's very relevant to me personally.
Not a huge deal of course, but I know at least one conversation was nuked, even if this post doesn't refer to that incident.
It looks like there were a handful of reposts that got removed. I don't know why I had only seen the one.
I get what you're saying now. It sucks to have an active thread of conversation suddenly get nuked. On the other hand, it's not a good situation to have 5 different duplicate posts of the exact same story cluttering up the feed for no reason.
It's not related to the calls for violence. It's just from the reposts. I think your irritation should maybe be directed at the people who don't check if a post is a duplicate before posting it. I'm not sure what else the mods could do in that situation that's any better than what they did, since Lemmy doesn't have functionality for redirecting comment threads from multiple duplicate posts together into one, or anything like that.
