Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1348 readers

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.

Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it's good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

I think you’re right to oppose the carnivore diet however downvoting every post is not the best course of action.

Vegans are touchy because they are always experiencing the suffering of others through empathy they refuse to tune out. "Carnivores" are touchy because they resent the moral judgement of others.

Carnivores are simply eating more meat to push back against the progress vegans have made to reduce suffering in this world.

push back against the progress vegans have made

Two people reinforcing their assumptions about a group rather then talking to that group are not going to have a realistic view of the world. It's a bit narcissistic to only view the actions of others in how it relates to you, there are more motivations out there.

For myself, I'm very concerned with reducing human suffering:

Carnivore is a tool, mostly used by people who have very specific problems. I tried to make that very clear in my decision tree post, which you downvoted - which means you read it, right?

do you know how I know you haven't read anything jet posts there?

For some people it's religion - they don't want to see what the heathens are saying. Any non-compliance is dogmatically meet with negativity. I can see why they got into this position, they build their identity and their ethics around their food - the introspection required to have a conversation would also require the ability to cast doubt on their own identity. That is difficult for anyone to do!

YDI, mass downvoting is toxic.

What is with all the twats purposefully going into communities they don't agree with just to be asswaffles?

YDI, and quite frankly I applaud the mod for not putting up with your bullshit and shutting you down before you disrupt their community.

What's with all these communities who can't handle a single opposing viewpoint. Almost like the point is just to sit around and jerk each other off.
