This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

you know exactly what they meant by that. “dragons aren’t real” means “i have read the post and intend to break the rules communicated therein by the site admin, rather than doing the infinitely easier and more respectful task that is blocking the user.” just like every other user getting banned in that thread.
Didn't realize you were such a fan of admins both denying objective reality and removing criticism of their announcements.
aw man hate to say this to you of all people, but straw man? holy shit. :(
i clearly stated that the “dragons aren’t real” comment was veiled language for “i don’t intend to follow the rules.” context matters and in this context, it’s absurd to argue that user was just super passionate about mythic creatures, but that’s what you’re doing here.
So tell me, is there any statement now that could be made that isn't, in your view, just "I don't intend to follow the rules" instead of "Dragons aren't real, and we shouldn't be pretending otherwise"?
yes!
“i don’t personally agree with the position the admins take on this divisive user, however i will respect the rules as layed out by Ada in this post.”
or if you want to be less formal:
“this user still concerns me, but i recognize that this is not my community and so i will abide by the rules while visiting here.”
or further still:
“bit concerned/confused by all this but noted. 👍“
But there were removals even for people who noted that they would use requested neopronouns.
Neither of those assert that dragons aren't real.
Then find those and call those out. I don’t see any in my short investigation but I believe you and they probably deserve forgiveness unless other rules were broken. The ones I have seen, including the ones in OP, show intent to misgender (or otherwise use invalidating language), so that’s what I am speaking to.
Intentional. Mythic creatures and their existence, as stated previously, are irrelevant. Fairies also are not real, yet I have known GNC people that use fae/faer pronouns much longer than you or I have been on this platform.
But if you insist here’s another:
Sorry if this comes across as nitpicky, but
Shouldn't this be ”faer pronouns"?
yup thanks for the correction! iirc i was editing from the drag ~> fae example because i got bored haha and that was a slip in the editing process
Bold of you to assume fantasy based pronouns would follow a similar spelling pattern!
