And apparently, also when you think that ‘They’ is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.
EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you’re leaving.
Please, quote me saying anything about disrespecting drag’s pronouns.
To gender itself. Fuck’s sake, did you not read this conversation you’re jumping into?
nah. change of pace. go listen to trans people. go to the c/main post and see all the trans people being happy their identities aren’t going to be subject to harrassment just because there are imperfect and annoying people out there with fantastical pronouns. maybe understand for half a second that this was never about drag, or you, or gravity, but the endless onslaught of attacks trans people face and how Ada is working to make a space where that doesn’t happen. then perhaps understand that, instead of celebrating the protection of hundreds of trans people, you centered a single trans person and yourself and immediately began to continue the same behavior which Ada sought to prevent.
Because you were bullshitting to make yourself sound better - or feel better, whichever.
Of course, I should go to where any dissenting opinion on the subject is removed and subjected to bans, that will really give me a clear view of the situation! :)
As you yourself said, any dissent on the subject is an admission to an intent to break the rules and a completely justified ban, so why would anyone who disagrees with an ounce of sense who wishes to remain part of the community voice that dissent?
Block… who? The fucking admin?
I am moving on. Blahaj has the dubious distinction of being the second instance I’ve ever blocked.
nah change of pace. i was letting us get too into the weeds. 50% my fault.
the upvote ratios don’t lie. trans people are happy with Ada. plenty of dissenting opinions there too, if you look. there’s a whole thread asking Ada to look carefully at drag’s toxic behavior for a potential ban, separate from neopronouns (incredibly enough).
if you cared to remember, you would find i gave you… four? examples of ways to voice your concern about trolling while being clear you don’t intend to break rules. if you forgot, here you go no worries :)
yup, and the instance. it’s clearly not for you. (meant to say downvote not report i apologize i just removed the whole thing)
I’m pretty sure Blahaj doesn’t HAVE downvotes. So, uh…
Again, as I pointed out immediately below that, if you’ll remember, three of those don’t actually address the point raised. The fourth one is admissible only in a very milquetoast “I’m objecting but only a little bit 🥺” way.
As I said - already done, before you even entered this conversation.
There was a new update where downvotes from other instances do get federated now. At least on my instance, I can see that the comments are nowhere near as divisive as comments on other posts I have seen on Blahaj (ironically thinking of some of drag’s own posts there lol). The post itself is probably the lowest (just a tad above 50%) which makes sense since cisgender outsiders will have a propensity to downvote without opening the comments :)
Sounds appropriate when the harassment of transgender people is on the line. I’m sorry you feel the need to object with vigorous abandon, but, I mean think about it, that kind of belligerent behavior isn’t going to be accepted by most mods—hardly unique to our discussion of blahaj. Again, there’s plenty of comments there asking for clarification and consideration. The ones that are up simply didn’t voice an intent to break rules.
And how does that reflect the opinions of trans Blahaj users?
‘A tad above 50%’
You do realize how horrible that is, ratio-wise, right?
Of course, if given the choice between literally validating one of the internet’s ‘favorite’ slanders about trans folk and simply not banning people for questioning the existence of dragons, one should be as meek and mild as possible in objection to the former course being taken.
You’re kidding, right?
I’ve outright cussed out FlyingSquid before, for example, and FlyingSquid is rightly considered to be one of the touchier major mods around on .world. “This is absurd, dragons aren’t real, this is simple stuff” as too ferocious an objection doesn’t even fucking rate.
The only mods who won’t take that shit are thin-skinned or intolerant of dissent.
Again - other than the horrible ratio of 50% you cited - why would anyone who values the community voice too strong a dissent when voicing dissent gets you removed and banned?
Just saying how I can see the downvotes. Blahaj users (by users I mean people who browse, not registered accounts in this context) downvoted drag to fuck the other week lol.
Yeah, sorry since you are not checking the votes yourself my words aren’t clicking for you. Most of the pro-admin decision comments have a ratio above 80%. My point is that outsider votes crushed the overall post due to it showing up in r/all feeds, but the comments I am asking you to read are very supported even though downvotes are not bannable.
Bruh. We went over this like… 4 hours ago? The existence of dragons thing is veiled language for intent to continue misgendering. Hate repeating myself.
… and I was permabanned by jordanlund for asking a question politely once so…? Sounds like neither of us kid and there is tremendous diversity in how mods act, and that FlyingSquid just might be more unserious than Ada.
Yup, and plenty of them are around, though I admit I spoke too broadly to say “all.” See jordanlund, above, but I will edit my comment to be less overbroad.
See 80%, above, or open the post yourself. I have now accomplished what I wanted from you and repeated myself a few times so I will leave it here. Go listen to trans people, or don’t that’s now your choice, but I can’t just keep relaying their words to you like this.
Okay, but that literally has nothing to do with the point you were claiming to vindicate.
And Blahaj users literally can’t downvote, so, uh… I don’t really know what you think that proves?
‘Veiled language for intent to continue misgendering’
Jesus Christ.
Dragons aren’t real.
A person cannot be something that is literally a fictitious creature.
Hate repeating myself.
Or Ada is below the already-low bar of FlyingSquid’s moderation, which is pretty damn low.
