They stated pretty directly it wasn’t about the Dragonfucker incident, nor did it involve policies on neopronouns. Drag wasn’t even banned for anything to do with neopronouns.
I think the move to lemmy.world was a mistake, but I believe them when they say it has nothing to do with the neopronouns policy.
That seems to be the gist of what is happening en masse, yes. Regardless of what the true events may be, this is how everyone is going to end up remembering it.
Exactly. But why would anyone who is justifiably upset and willing to believe whatever account of events is more convenient bother to dig for evidence to the contrary?
We already have this being created out of this very thread, in a community that is meant to chronicle the history of Lemmy, so “by the victors” and all. It’s not the hill I’m willing to die on, at least.
I’ll admit: I took your original comment to indicate enjoyed consumption and propagation of mis truth. Your comment here seems to be more of an acknowledgement of the danger of misinformation.
Correct. Nevertheless the neopronouns incident was something of a catalyst; all the “differences” had to do with trans issues in some way, and it would be amiss of me not to point out the biggest moment that made 196 come out in support of Ada and Blahaj.
Their other “differences” are also bogus in my opinion.

Yeah I think the above comment is inappropriately tying the issue to a topic they specifically said wasn’t the motivation
It’s the prevailing narrative though, so I guess it may as well be the truth.
“the misinformation is popular, despite those involved disregarding it. so I shall believe it.”
?

Their words are available on the topic and ada could easily refute them.
