And we don’t usually get to see the receipts, but this time we do.

It’s one thing to make mention of or recommend another community, it’s another to spend your time flooding their threads with it repeatedly, even when asked to stop. What starts as impassioned advocacy can quickly turn into harassment and spam, and I think you crossed that line.

It should be evident just in the way you wrote an entire wiki article in this post - they were right to temporarily remove you from this conversation. If you only go there to dissolve their community, they have every right to kick you out of it.

YDI.

Not because you’re wrong about consolidating communities, and not even because you were trying to get people to move to the other comm; but because you’re doing it in the least communal and democratic way possible, and for your disregard for the mod team and community’s collective intent. I think the mod team handled this pretty well.

These kinds of crusades are antithetical to the spirit of the fediverse, and I really wish this community didn’t attract so many Don Quixote-types fighting windmills.

Welp, I guess that pen plotter I built last year is going to be my full time printer

For anyone still curious, the ban was lifted already

If he was less supportive of Israel and law enforcement I’d be more excited about this.

Honestly there isn’t anyone left in the party that I’m happy with - even AOC started transitioning into radlib territory.

Someone with a medical background please tell me what on earth is happening inside that volume

All I can think of is that alien exo-suit from MIB with an alien operating him inside

No, you should find a community that’s a better fit for you

You respect it but you don’t think it’s real?

You’re splitting hairs man. At the very least it should not make you this upset.

I said that dragonfucker wasn’t a gender, because dragons don’t exist

OK but you can see how this statement breaks their rules on gatekeeping the use of pronouns, right?

… for the same sentiment that got you banned

You’re not upset that a trans user got banned, you’re upset you got yourself banned and are pointing to a trans user as a shield against anti-trans accusations

You’re digging the hole deeper. Just let it go.

… ok but isn’t that post still about your burn out with blahaj?

Do you have something more specific than your (purely objective) recounting of what happened? A link to it?

At the moment, I’m not sure I’d trust you if you told me the sky was blue

Jesus

I haven’t a clue what event you’re referring to even though I feel as though I’ve encountered nothing but your comments today. If your goal is to discuss a specific abuse then you’ve done a piss poor job of it.

I’d recommend reaching out to @dbzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you think there’s been that severe of an abuse that’s happened, and the community mod hasn’t addressed it well enough.

Honestly, though, it just seems like you have an axe to grind and you’re taking it out on everyone else. Either settle it with the admins or cool off a bit, you’re souring the space for everyone by flaming out like this.

I have a related question:

Where do the users who get banned from YPTB go, when they eventually get banned from YPTB?

Maybe it is? Don’t non-binary people have a right to moderate their own space as they like?

If they have a rule against gatekeeping gender identities and pronouns in their own instance, don’t they have a right to remove offenders from their servers?

You’re all over this topic today, maybe just take a second and listen to what the community is saying. You’ve more than said your piece.

I’m completely in favor of this.

Frankly, most of what I see on this comm is BPR and YDI, and most people could probably benefit from taking their bans and touching grass. But having some posts be YDI makes the PTB’s more exciting so maybe i’m wrong.

Maybe we should make some penalty for earning a YDI or BPR, so that people who receive them aren’t encouraged to re-hash the same conflicts over and over? I’m honestly not sure. Part of the problem is that the same people cross-post the same conflict on similar comms, which makes it feel as if the same issue is being litigated repeatedly.

But complaining about receiving a ban from a protective community with strict conduct policies is certainly not the intent of this community, i don’t think.

This is my attitude whenever someone complains about there being too much ‘politics’ in everything.

Everything touches politics, but we only notice it when it adversely effects us. The people who take as granted that politics is it’s own thing are usually the people who are the most privileged by it.
