Mod Carrotcypher links to their own personal blog and then pins their own post.

And here’s a look at rule 3!
rule title: "DON'T ENGAGE IN SELF-PROMOTION."

Call me picky, but I think the moderators should follow the rules they write and enforce.

    It’s important to remember that r/piracy was taken over by Reddit during the API debacle. The top moderators were removed and replaced by those chosen by Reddit admins. “Corporate-backed piracy” is an oxymoron.

    Misread it, this is r/privacy. My bad. But also, r/privacy is even worse. PTB

      This is privacy, not piracy

        Whoops, you’re right, misread it. r/privacy is a whole other can of fucked up worms, such as propaganda and Nazism at the cost of actual privacy discussion.

        Bail on the place, as well as any other place where Carrotcypher is involved, including FOSStodon.

      I always preferred PrivacyGuides. Looking forward to the activitypub integration with their other community

    It has been compromised since at least 2-3 years ago.

    We got decent communities on here

    Here is one on a smaller server

    Not sure here - moderators are handled really dirty by Reddit and I can totally understand that they are using what they have to self promote. And I can totally understand that they also don’t want to allow everybody to spam their sub.

      For your consideration, same moderator on the same subreddit

      • DHS allows surveillance based on sexual orientation. Reddit’s privacy moderators ban any mention of it
      • r/privacy moderator censors criticism of CEO James Dolan
      • r/privacy moderators blacklist German tech news site Heise, censor posts critical of DHS
      • On Reddit’s r/privacy, you can no longer criticize Facebook
      • “NSA chief and deputy fired”, censored

        Seems like sub has been infiltrated by the people from those industry, other subs have been taken over by right wingers or cops and allows heavy astroturfing

      One does not have to do volunteer work when they’re being “handled dirty”. They can just leave.

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.
