I got comments removed because you protected a known troll. I didn’t misgender anyone. I called out a troll for making a mockery of the trans community.

And my modlog history shows nothing but me putting a shit tier drama-craving troll in their place.

That you can’t understand nuance enough to know the difference isn’t my fucking problem.

I don’t know what any of that means.

I guarantee he’s very attached to the drama he has caused using the “drag” account. Staring all over with another one will be a pain in the ass.

Inconsistent with their trolling.

You removed comments and/or banned people for calling them a troll. Which is exactly what they are.

Look, I’m sure you’re a cool person. You seem like you care about the right things. Outside of this single issue, I’m sure we’d probably get along fine. But I don’t see any understanding coming from this.

I believe you did wrong. And you don’t. And that’ll have to be okay with both of us.

…because your actions would make it clear that your goal here is to stir up drama in response to a moderation approach you don’t agree with.

So then why did you protect drag? Are you willing to admit that seemingly everyone saw something you didn’t see? Because we all knew he was trolling. You protected him.

Whatever makes you fell better. You protected a well-known troll when everyone tried to tell you- and you continued to protect them when proof was provided.

For the record: People can be thoroughly disgusted by a troll embedding themselves in your community as an “attack helicopter”- and simultaneously support the trans community. It’s called “nuance,” and it’s something one would assume an admin would have a firm understanding of.

Making a blanket protection around something and then blindly doling out bans and removals without understanding that people can and will take advantage of this can only be described as piss-poor moderation.

Because as it stands, by your rules. I can say that I identify as a 1972 Trans Am and demand that people cal me PontiacFucker and you will have to defend me against those that would accuse me of being disingenuous…. Right?

It’s not misgendering when it’s a troll that is mocking the trans community. Show me where I misgendered someone that wasn’t trolling your instance.

They also said that they are not a person, but instead, a “dragon rider” which would indicate one who rides dragons. So… Is a dragon’s rider a dragon that rides dragons? A race of non-human things that ride dragons? Neither of these?

Also, take a stroll through their comment history. They are very inconsistent over the months since their account was created.

It’s almost as if they were making it up as they went along.

I can’t check because blahaj modlogs won’t even load for me without timing out, but my point remains. I was banned/had comments removed for calling out a troll. Who did it is irrelevant.

You guys circled the wagons around a known troll and went scorched-earth on anyone that so much as said they weren’t being genuine.

This makes my head hurt.

I got most if not all of my comments on that post removed because i called them a troll that made a mockery of the trans community.

And now they banned the troll.

Summarizes it perfectly.

And when those alts call themselves “drag” what do you think will happen?

Community banned as I recall. And even removing the comments because I called them a troll and accused them of mocking the trans community was bullshit in light of the recent acknowledgment that they are- in fact, a troll.

They went to where they knew they could take advantage of the rules that protect the trans community- and then weaponized it to create drama and get shit removed.

Absolute bullshit. I called drag out and ONLY drag. I made no mention of neopronouns or even said anything remotely dismissive of pronouns as I am a huge supporter of all of it.

Yet I was banned because I called drag a shit tier troll that was making a mockery of the trans community.

Well said.

According to “drag,” you’ve already misgendered them four times. They’d report you for this.

Why is that troll not banned from ALL of lemmy? I don’t get it.

Oh, and for the record; this post and all the comments in it including mine- are exactly why they do what they do.

They feed on the drama. Ban them, and this ends.

.dbzer0 is pretty cool for the most part. I have no Issues with them. .ml however, can burn in a dumpster fire for all I care.
