Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

Why. Do you. Caaaaaare?

You don’t seem to get it. You don’t question someone’s identity. Period. No ands, ifs or buts. You do not get to decide if someone’s identify is valid. You are an asshole and you are not an ally for doing it.

This is why trans people (at least the ones I know) unironically tend to avoid hanging out with cis people. Cis people think they’re entitled to telling other people how they can identify.

I’m sorry for thinking dragons don’t exist. I’ll go for a struggle session at the first opportunity to repent of my sins.

Literally like talking to children. Throwing a fit over not being called a dragon. Insane.

Christ, you’d lose your mind if you ever stepped into the furry community. The therians would give you an aneurysm.

Once again, you do not get to say whether or not someone’s identity is valid. It doesn’t matter how “real” you perceive their identity to be. You are a bigot for doing so.

Also, you can literally just block drag and pretend drag doesn’t exist. Just don’t respond to drag. Don’t talk to drag. Don’t refer to drag. You could just do that, but instead you’ve decided to be a bigot.

Mr. Roosevelt, I presume

Could have pretended that people who say “Dragons aren’t real” don’t exist, but the admin response was instead to ban folk for it. Could’ve done that, but instead, you’ve decided to approve of acting like literal children.

So my drunk Republican uncle is actually an attack helicopter? I thought that was just political rhetoric and poor taste hyperbole, but I suppose I should respect his identity and also try to limit my thermal signature and seek heavy cover from above.

If he really and truly does, then yes, especially when he’s posting on blahaj.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

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.
