Drag was banned from !tenforward@lemmy.world a day ago. As you can see, no comments or posts were removed alongside the ban:

In fact, drag has never commented or posted in the community:

Drag has no history of transphobia and no history of trolling. And drag can unequivocably prove that drag was never transphobic or trollish on Ten Forward, because drag has never said anything there. This is a ban for literally, provably, nothing.

OK locking this one as well. Y’all need to behave and try to be more charitable interpreting each other’s words. Realize you don’t need to engage drag if they try to argue with you. If you want them to not reply to you, please tell them to Disengage or even better, just block them. Likewise if you want to report for sockpuppetry or harassment, please provide some evidence in PMs as there’s nowhere enough to go on in report strings.

Buddy, you harassed the mod of that community, you misgendered his daughter and he brought receipts in the last thread you made to show what you did. In addition you’ve been referring to other people using your own drag pronoun, (probably as a substitute for you/your/you’re) which for people who do not use your pronoun is indeed misgendering.

Honestly I know the ethics of preemptive bans are questionable at best but with the past behavior you’ve exhibited I can confidently say it was not for nothing. Not by a long shot. I’d say you should get used to being banned from places if you continue to have interactions like the ones you’ve had with @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world with other people.

In short YDI, You Deserve It, big time.

you misgendered his daughter

Drag has already addressed that false claim in this thread, and drag also brought clear and unambiguous receipts.

In addition you’ve been referring to other people using your own drag pronoun, (probably as a substitute for you/your/you’re) which for people who do not use your pronoun is indeed misgendering.

This hasn’t happened. Drag is very curious to see which comments you think have been doing that, because drag would like to understand how your mind works. It’s very unlike anybody drag has ever spoken with before. Drag would be happy to clarify any cases where you’re confused.

Honestly I know the ethics of preemptive bans are questionable at best

You also gave drag bans to four communities you moderate, which drag has never visited and didn’t even know existed. Calling that “pre-emptive” is somewhat misleading, in drag’s opinion. The only effect the ban has is to pollute the modlog. It’s not “pre-emptive”, it’s a vehicle for spreading propaganda about people you don’t like. It’s harassment.

Please do not approach drag again. Drag wants to resolve the problem you’ve caused in the pawb.social modlog, and never see you again. Drag is not interested in pursuing your friendship.

Go try and post to those communities or vote in them, do you think that bans for communities you don’t participate in mean nothing. Of course they don’t. They deny you access to them. Their description is meant to highlight the reason they occurred, would you prefer future bans have an empty message? I don’t think that will change anything you’ll still harass and sealion me for you being banned from all future use of a community, and not being able to prevent it.

Now if you are worried about what people think of you based on your modlog incursions you should be worried about the real issues, like you saying that trans people should buy a gun and take out a red hat before doing themselves. That’s an utterly atrocious and disgusting thing to say in a trans friendly community, and since it came from you directly, it’s way worse than anything I or anyone else could’ve put in the ban reason.

The feeling is very much mutual dragonfucker. I don’t comment on these posts because I want to be your friend or tell you something. I do it because it is public and provides context and information for others, whether you respond or not doesn’t make much of a difference to me. Your responses do provide more clarity though that none of this behavior from you is at all good faith.

Drag doesn’t want to. Drag never wanted to. The point was always to put what you wanted to say in the modlog. If it weren’t for the modlog’s visibility, the ban would mean nothing, because drag doesn’t want to use those communities. You knew drag wasn’t a user of those communities, you knew all this.

you saying that trans people should buy a gun and take out a red hat before doing themselves

Don’t misrepresent what was said. If you’re going to use drag’s comments as evidence, use them. The actual text drag wrote. The text which indicates that drag was not advocating suicide. No lies, please.

Those are all PTB too. Most of the bans are also for communities drag has never posted in.

Perhaps drag should make a separate PTB post for each ban on a community drag has never been to. Drag already has two PTB threads for different isssues:

https://lemmy.nz/post/15935996
https://lemmy.nz/post/15899389

The modlog also shows direct evidence that drag has advocated violence against transphobic fascists, which should make it clear which side of the issue of trans rights drag falls on. Drag is trans and fights very strongly for trans rights. Drag would never and has never misgendered anyone.

Uhm… Yes you did.

And just so you know, you did that to a mod of said community.

So this is more than justified’ YDI.

No, drag didn’t. Drag assumes you are talking about the time that drag used a “they” pronoun to refer to a family member of Flying Squid during a discussion with him. Here are Squid’s explanations of the etiquette in that situation:

There. Three repeated assurances from the mod, that “they” pronouns are acceptable, and one of them is directly talking about the specific person. The “misgendering” is a manufactured conflict. Drag promised to respect this mod’s wishes, and drag always has. The ban is for nothing.

Be whoever you want to be, but be aware you are doing this to yourself.

Advocating for murder should get you a total ban from every instance already.

Your brand of performative outrage and victimhood isn’t good for communities you want to participate in, regardless.

Let’s just discuss this one issue on this thread. If you want to argue the removal of the nazi-killing comments is justified, go make a different thread. Drag doesn’t care about that. We’re talking about the Ten Forward accusation that drag is a transphobic troll. Unless perhaps you meant to say that drag is a transphobic troll because drag advocates nazi killing? But that doesn’t sound likely.

Yeah, this feels like a bit. They might be the type of person to role play different out there characters and rotate through them when they get bored.

Drag never uses ‘I’ in sentences to refer to themself.

They have a comment saying they are using ‘first person pronouns’, by which they mean that they are using custom, or neopronouns when referring to themself in the first person.

The grammatical problem with this is that the ‘pronoun’ they are using is their own nickname.

Which functionally reads as them referring to themself in the third person only, akin to the deprecated ‘royal we’.

This kind of behavior is common in people who have extreme social anxiety, or dissociative identity disorder.

It’s probably not a bit, a put on.

They are consistent in this odd grammatical pattern, and they seem to believe it is genuinely justifiable and socially acceptable.

Drag states that they are autistic, and trans.

They are probably legitimately mentally disordered.

… I used to date a trans person with DID, amongst other diagnosed conditions.

This kind of extremely confusing, unconventional grammatical structure was something they exhibited as well.

Drag never uses ‘I’ in sentences to refer to themself.

Dragon Fucker never uses ‘I’ in sentences to refer to Drag.

The reason it feels like a bit is it isn’t consistent with conversational usage, even as you pointed out them talking about themselves. (Or Drag talking about Drag). Or Dragon Fucker talking about Dragon Fucker.

There is a possibility this is a real person committed to a lifestyle and not a role player, but then I would suggest we are the test bed for their new unconjugated universal pronoun… and it feels fake, because its wildly inconsistent and confusing.

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.
