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.

Do those people use animalfucker as usernames?
No and I'm not trying to say that using their uname is an insult, I just mean that I'm not convinced that drag's "drag" bit is a troll, they could be serious.
If they were serious they could have created a new account with drag as the username.
Keeping the current one seems like an easy way to bait people into situation like the one discussed here.
Not saying that the people you know are doing anything similar
Did drag themselves (dragself whatever lol) report the comment for the use of their uname being an insult, or did someone else/a mod happen by/etc? If they reported it themselves that would indeed be some evidence of trolling imo, but if they didn't report it themselves this seems entirely unrelated imo.
Again I'm not referring to this comment being banned specifically, I'm saying that drag's existence itself may not be a troll on trans people/neopronouns as a whole, as the comment I replied to suggests. I'm saying drag may actually wish to use drag as a pronoun and may not be doing so specifically to piss people off. I'm basing that possibility off the fact that there are other people that do use silly pronouns like drag does that I know IRL and have seen on masto before, they aren't all trolling and drag is very similar to them, so it seems to be plausible to me that they indeed may take themselves seriously.
I hope that clears up any misunderstandings on my previous supposition.
I hear that, but as I said, keeping that username instead of getting a new account with drag just prevents people from taking drag seriously
I'mma be honest I think there's a lot keeping people from taking drag seriously, regardless of if they do themselves or not, I'm just not sure if troll or not (and honestly leaning towards no).
