And apparently, also when you think that ‘They’ is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you’re leaving.

Just saying how I can see the downvotes. Blahaj users (by users I mean people who browse, not registered accounts in this context) downvoted drag to fuck the other week lol.

Okay, but that literally has nothing to do with the point you were claiming to vindicate.

Yeah, sorry since you are not checking the votes yourself my words aren’t clicking for you. Most of the pro-admin decision comments have a ratio above 80%.

And Blahaj users literally can’t downvote, so, uh… I don’t really know what you think that proves?

Bruh. We went over this like… 4 hours ago? The existence of dragons thing is veiled language for intent to continue misgendering. Hate repeating myself.

‘Veiled language for intent to continue misgendering’

Jesus Christ.

Dragons aren’t real.

A person cannot be something that is literally a fictitious creature.

Hate repeating myself.

… and I was permabanned by jordanlund for asking a question politely once so…? Sounds like neither of us kid and there is tremendous diversity in how mods act, and that FlyingSquid just might be more unserious than Ada.

Or Ada is below the already-low bar of FlyingSquid’s moderation, which is pretty damn low.

Oof, and there we go. “Ada is worse than the (perhaps second) most universally depised mod” from you says it all, and I’m happy we reached this conclusion.

To sum up and end it: I don’t believe you are a transphobe, as others have unfortunately claimed.

But you do have an inappropriate sense of entitlement to an instance owned by a trans woman.

And, when that trans women made a decision about how to deal with harrassment on her instance, using mod action and suppression of bigoted behavior from all sides rather than allowing bigotry and misgendering, you responded with a full-force rebuke across communities against her that she did not draw the line for her community exactly where you did.

I hope your time away from blahaj is good for you. Go and talk to trans people. Learn that most of them are so overwhelmed by harassment that they would rather have trolls banned for trolling than endlessly bullied for their gender expression in their spaces.

You centered yourself in a space that is not yours. That’s your issue. Now it’s your responsibility to get over it.

Entitlement is when you leave, I guess.

Let’s go over the timeline, shall we?

  1. Ada makes decision I do not agree with.

  2. I sadpost and express my discontent with it in the same comment I express an intent to leave, neither of which are on the meta post in which the decision was announced, nor in either was Ada involved as a conversant. In fact, in the course of the sadpost, I say I understand the motivations, it’s just not a place for me.

  3. Ada removes several of those comments for dubious reasons.

  4. I bitch about that on a comm made for bitching about mods.

  5. I get accused of being a transphobe for not believing in dragons on said comm made for bitching about mods.

  6. I am accused of feeling entitled to Blahaj.

The Tumblr defensive swarm mentality was shite there and it’s shite here, and if I’d realized it was how Blahaj was going to react to people, I never would’ve posted there in the first place.

Learn to take criticism, or get off the net.

Please, @spujb@lemmy.cafe outline to me how that timeline is indicative of entitlement.

Right there. You tell a trans woman how to run her space. Thats entitlement.

Now I of course don’t know why the comments were removed, perhaps the entitlement, or more to do with the fact that they encouraged further bad behavior in an already hostile situation.

But you came into a space that isn’t for you, and told trans people how to handle a situation that doesn’t affect you. Sorry for using emotional language, but your pathetic “sadpost” is a slap in the face to the daily onslaught of harassment trans people face. Then you didn’t stop. Your subsequent days-long crashout proves to me that Ada made the right choice.

“Learn to take criticism or get off the net instance” yourself. My best wishes for your time away.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

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.
