I edited the pronoun.

Thanks for the citation.

Even if Ada made a mistake (not banning drag soon enough), the conclusion is still the same: the decision of dbzer0 to keep that stance (neopronouns aren't debatable) is theirs, and if you willingly start to attack that stance, you're going to get actioned upon.

On top of that SoftestSaphic seems to be incorrect

Most of what you are saying is a lie? No one was saying the attack helicopter or litterbox stuff, nor were we defending trolls. What we said is use neopronouns when requested, and report trolls as usual. Refer to people as they ask or ignore them, don’t feed trolls if you think someone is a troll.

People kept engaging with the trolls rather than doing what we asked.

Honestly, people have no idea how to engage with trolling these days (don’t).

I think the modlogs 100% speak for themselves

It all goes down to the drag issue in the end.

Either you think neopronouns are a right (Blahaj, dbzer0) and cannot be removed under any pretext.

Either you think neopronouns can be considered trolling under certain circumstances (LW apparently?)

By the way, you said in a previous comment (https://quokk.au/comment/661634)

Pretending that being trans is equivalent to being a dragon (along with things like encouraging other users to self-harm, because of course this person did, because they are a troll and trying to be cruel to trans people) was the issue.

Drag got banned when drag encouraged people to self harm. The neopronoun thing was a separate matter (see above)

Probably x)

Edit: just because you care about trans people

In addition to simply brigading my communities I have had people harass me in DMs, make death threats towards me, and make fun of me for being a recovering alcoholic. I’ve had these people deny my gender identity, claim I’m a woman, deliberately use the wrong pronouns, and even one person impersonating me while acting like a pig. Really vile stuff.

In short these are not knee jerk reactions, the vast majority of the bans I cast are for good reasons, and while I have made mistakes on occasion, the majority of these bans are correct, and I don’t believe we should be forced to allow known problematic users to hurt our communities just because they haven’t left comments there yet.

Also absolutely. 100%. Them laughing at SoftestSapphic when she’s trying to give some pretty pointed feedback on treatment of trans issues, and then banning her for being “pissy” / “shitty” because of it, really rubbed me the wrong way. I didn’t like that at all. And then yes the hypocrisy of doing that while flopping around like a soccer player moaning about “abuse” because people downvoted some of their precious content, is just extra icing on the bratty-adolescent cake.

And you making that comment using that tone is contributing to the flamewar

I understand why an instance staff wouldn't want to have posts questioning instance guidelines every week.

Interestingly enough, in the case of anti AI bans, that topic was discussed on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49185248?scrollToComments=true , and it seems like both the mod and the person iniating the request found a way

So no, it's not really "Scratch an anarchist and an authoritarian bleeds"

This is a direct consequence of having that community part of dbzer0.

A community is still subject to the rules of the instance hosting it.

A potential alternative would be to have the alternative community on an instance with a very few rules, but there's none that I know of at the moment.

Israel, drag, AI, every topic would still come up in the comments of a new community, and the mods of that new community would probably have to take a stance on those, or just see endless slapfights in the comments
