Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
Drag is banned from blahaj. Gatekeeping people’s identities and pronouns is still against the rules.
Wait wtf why? I thought blahaj was in support of marginalized communities
Yea and the dragon person constantly mocked trans people.
Even beyond the transparent transphobic trolling they were displaying in the first place, even after Ada got reports that they were actively encouraging other users to harm themselves and other objectively rule-breaking behavior, she was still going to bat for them and refusing to take any action (and still taking action against anyone who criticized them), and basically explained that it was because she felt bad that they were getting so much abuse so she was willing to overlook their misbehavior. Eventually, they did something to Ada, and at that point, she suddenly realized they were bad, and evicted them.
Everybody makes mistakes and misjudgements. It’s fine. But I feel like Ada has probably experienced things in her life that make it feel like pronouns are the most important thing, for example more important even than kicking out an obvious troll or making a safe space for queer people who are looking for a place to be but don’t 100% agree with or obey her stance on certain things. I think it makes her susceptible to viewing every situation through that singular lens, and thinking anyone viewing it through any other lens at all must be being evil on purpose (and then going on the attack against them). Q.v., comments elsewhere in this thread.
I have no idea. I tried to talk sense into her elsewhere in these comments, got nowhere, and oh well.
Drag was a prolific troll, drag just has a right to their pronouns ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’ve perma-banned me from 11 communities on blahaj.zone for ‘Racism/Bigotry’. Care to point out which posts or comments of mine caused you to activate the banhammer?
I haven’t banned you from any communities. I instance banned you. Which I did, because you implied that Arab folk are all sexist.
Which comes on the back of previous comments removed for transphobia, insults and posting swastikas.
I’ll be instance banning you again now.
Still waiting
Still waiting for receipts.
Unlike other mods who either removed my comments or temp banned me from specific communities, you’ve permabanned me from one instance and are saying you’ll do it for another.
Let’s see how horrible my posts/comments were to merit such drastic action.
Which comment? Also, implied? Are you sure that’s not you reading too much into something because of your own biases?
Which comment?
Seriously?
I’m a Hindu guy from India. You’ve got a problem with that?
Nazis called their symbol Hakenkreuz (Hooked Cross). I wonder why Anglos chose a word associated with Eastern religions when translating that.
