PTB, banning people for sharing alternatives is shitty and comes off as you trying to gatekeep your community and prevent people from learning about alternatives.

Also since @[email protected] decided to comment, it doesn’t matter if the Rest of the team agreed with you or not, that just makes all of you PTB as well. The fact this was even considered as a good idea and implemented to suppress knowledge of alternatives makes it PTB.

If anyone is reading this, stay away from that mod’s shithole and go to [email protected] instead. It’s more active and isn’t run by PTBs.

I agree with you that no one should really mention their age, though I don’t agree with you that there’s a point where it doesn’t matter. You’ll find plenty of groups willing to discriminate against older individuals, gaming groups, activist groups, STEM groups, it’s weird but it’s unfortunately a thing.

Lemmy.world has a problem with over modderation when it is out of scope in situations like this, they also have a problem with undermoderation letting shit slide that shouldn’t like Reddit did. Lemmy.world has a lot of very big problems right now and they shouldn’t be cut slack of any of them, even if it is obvious how it happened.

PTB, this seems really like their overstepping their bounds, @[email protected] has clarified the matter.

Unfortunately this isn’t the first time Lemmy.world has done something like this using “legal” as an excuse, and probably won’t be the last time. They’re too big so they’ll never get defederated or penalized by any server wishing to stay even remotely relevant so nothing is likely to change.

I just got word that he did do something about it, and has banned the person. Hopefully this becomes more common and that kind of abuse is taken more seriously on fedia.io

Oh wow, awesome. Nice to know they’re taking things more seriously now.

fedia.io’s admin has been known to be incredibly lax when it comes to banning their own users for hostility. I’ve seen them let way worse things slide before, and only quietly intervene if it gets big and bad enough to make fedia itself look bad.

User’s account was suspended, looks like they’re taking things more seriously than they have in the past.

I don’t think he’ll do anything about it, I’ve seen him let a lot worse shit slide before.

Just so we’re clear. I’ve never defended dragonfucker in any way shape or form. Dragonfucker is an evil person who is utterly and completely beyond redemption.

Do not misrepresent my words here. What you and OP and people like you have done is to all attack the idea of neopronouns and xenogenders and defend gatekeeping and blatant transphobia. I do not support gender based gatekeeping in any way, and the dismissal of all neopronouns and xenogenders is offensive and harmful.

Ultimately when it comes to people like dragonfucker it ends up making a bad situation worse. It ends up making people think their only crime is “pRoNOuNs” and it makes it harder to actually speak up about them. When everyone was complaining about dragonfucker’s pronouns I wasn’t able to share what really happened effectively because of idiots drowning me out because they were upset they had to respect pronouns and refused to point out the real reasons dragonfucker is a troll and an evil person.

YDI, telling someone to accept their abusive parents on a mental health community absolutely is victim blaming. Seriously, they probably should’ve banned you for that one it’s just extremely shitty and unhelpful, possibly even dangerous.

YDI, your behavior is incredibly hostile and uncalled for. Also WTF? Claiming people can’t play the girl characters and have long hair while still being cis? What the hell, that sounds so dumb and outdated, people can like whatever the fuck they want without it having a deeper meaning. Who the Fuck do you think you are to try and argue otherwise?

Also it’s a two day ban, take the mod’s advice and cool your head, instead of starting more shit.
