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.

it would be a drag to presume to speak for drag but drag will probably drag drag's self along to explain drag's drag act in drag's own time
Probably not, because we banned drag on this instance due to the endless trolling and drama drag was causing. It's a shame some of the trans communities haven't yet realized that drag is making a mockery of neo-pronouns in order to stir up as much drama as possible.
Oh well, drag will have moved onto some other hot topic and another username soon enough, no doubt, and will likely suck in another bunch of well-meaning users who buy into drag's shtick. Drag hasn't tried pretending to be blind yet, for example, so we probably have that to look forward to at some stage.
I'm still respecting drag's preferred pronoun just in the off chance drag is genuinely trans though - and I'd encourage other users to also do this. But let's be real here - trans folks have their fair share of drama farmers and trolls, just like any other demographic. It's not a free pass to be an asshole.
One thing to note is that drag might be therian. The gist of it is that sometimes the brain glitches out and finds it easier to relate to other species of animals, real or not, than other humans. Therianthropy can even go as far as causing people to have phantom tails, ears, etc. No idea why, it just kinda happens.
It's one of those things that sounds weird and is hard to relate to or understand if you've never experienced it; so it gets a bad rap. That and there are ~~animal abusers~~ zoophiles who try to use it as a nicer way of saying, "I like ~~abusing animals~~ bestiality". It sucks.
That said, there's nothing wrong with being therian if you're being legit about it, imo it's just another form of neurodivergence. Though, I'm not sure if I totally agree with trying to force people to accept it by using "drag" pronouns, buuuuut I guess you could say the same about me wanting people to use she/her instead of he/him. If being referred to as "drag" makes drag happy, then w/e I guess.
Edit: imo, if you wanna screw with drag, just accept drag for who drag is. If drag is really looking for attention, then drag will get bored or annoyed. On the other hand, if drag actually needs that kind of affirmation, then you're doing a good thing for drag. You're honestly probably making drag feel amazing by using the correct pronouns.
This is the way. Causing drama is what an attention seeker wants. Avoiding drama is what a person who has whatever we want to call the affliction wants. In all cases, the best case is to just accept the person at face value, avoid the drama, and keep living.
