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.

I don't give a fuck about drag really. What drag does and says is up to drag. Drag has a different and challenging identity. The instance mod was applying the rules around identity here, and it seems cis people in here are pissed because they don't think drag's identity is valid.
... yes. Being a dragon is not something you can be. Dragons do not exist, much less is there the capacity for a human being to be one.
I can't believe that this is really a point of contention.
You do understand that pronoun use and (gender) identity aren't necessarily linked, right?
The existence of dragons has no weight on the validity of drag's pronouns.
Drag has explicitly stated their gender identity, numerous times before. Like I said, this isn't about 'drag' as a cutesy 'xe/xim' equivalent.
Having different chromosomes is also not something you can do.
You might argue, that people with chromosomes different from yours exist. This is irrelevant tho, because neither can you change your chromosomes nor can you rule out someone genetically engineers a fantasy style dragon one day.

(PS: I should maybe note that I have the dragon person blocked for different reasons tho)
