Edit: Image description for Brits:
Dragon Rider (drag) being banned from the following communities for sharing DMs:
We have dms?
That dude is miles and miles beyond obnoxious. I get actively angry to see his moronic comments.
Edit: If you’re in here defending this guy you’re either an idiot, a troll yourself, or his alt.
That’s an instance ban. Instance bans automatically issue community bans for local communities the user has been active in.
Already said it in !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone but I’ll say it again so others can see it here.
It seems drag was banned from the site for sharing people’s DMs, though I’m sure that’s not the whole story, drag has a history of being banned for way more than just the thing on the label. Looking at the comments on drag’s home instance where it hasn’t been removed, it seems drag was sharing those DMs in attempt to libel Ada for not taking the action drag wanted. That’s on top of the fact that she did not give drag permission to share them. It’s an asshole move for sure, and I have to say if I were in Ada’s shoes I’d do the same.
Ada was also already wary of drag after the respecting pronouns rule announcement, because a number of blahaj users rightfully pointed out drag is still likely a troll. Fluff around and find out basically.
It ultimately isn’t surprising. Drag has been very sus from the beginning, drag exhibited a lot of behaviors that made me leery. Though at the time I didn’t say anything since it was only a hunch and most people were just voicing transphobic complaints about pronouns.
I believe transparency is desirable and the single party consent rule in regards to private conversations should be the primary accepted doctrine here outside of any communique that is sexual/private and includes nudes and or personal data and could constitute doxxing.
That’s your opinion, but many people do not agree with you. I myself would be pissed if you shared our DM convo without asking me first, or even letting me know you were going to. I can see why Ada would and why she did what she did, it’s disrespectful and adversarial.
If its just a friendly convo yeah one parry would def be a dick to share that text dialogue but if you’re involved in a contentious dispute you should just assume your chat is going to be used against you. Single party consent is what allows us to put police and corporations in their place when they are doing shady shit being opposed to it just makes you look like you have something to hide. I know drag is a troll but banning him for posting dm screenshots is just shitty. And then pointing fingers as to who started what and who deserves what after the fact is also shitty. But what evs
clown down.
legit you cannot convince me this wasn’t trolling, and the fact so many people haven’t been able to tell, for so long, is deeply funny but also somewhat depressing. I blocked them almost as soon as I encountered them. It reeks of bait turned up to 11, like an edgy 16 year old just heard about the concept of making your own pronouns and went “ok how can I make this as stupid as humanly possible to fuck with people?”.
Literally never seen a more obvious person trolling the LGBT+ community, the only way he could have been more clear is if he had chosen Attack Helicopter instead of dragon. I feel just like you, I don’t understand why so many people humored him for so long when he was actively mocking them to their faces.
