    Reminds me of an old joke:

    An American tells a Russian that people in USA have the freedom of speech and that he even could go to the White House and shout:“Fuck you, Ronald Reagan!”

    The Russian answers:“Oh, we also have freedom of speech. I, too, can go to Kremlin and shout:” Fuck you, Ronald Reagan!"

      You can still go to the while house and say fuck you Ronald Reagan.

      Some things never change.

    PTB. Once you get the joke, it’s a funny meme. And if you can’t even poke fun at Stalin on .ml then who can you poke fun at?

    .ml can be assumed PTB almost all of the time. It’s pretty much cheating for here.

    I don’t get the joke, could someone elucidate for me? =)

    Side note: in my searching for potential context, I found a powder-coating called “rustic red texture” with the designation “PTB-1937”

    Funny that trying to understand a joke about an old Bolshevik would yield results about an entirely unrelated rustic red

    Edit: Nevermind, figured it out XD

      Stalin murdered a lot of other communists in 1937.

        How dare you suggest the State did something wrong? That’s a thoughtcrime, straight to the gulag with you!

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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

  • 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.
