    I need you guys’ opinions on this, since you are admins that makes it more official. Ignoring the controversy surrounding preemptive bans (I’ll do some investigation on that), do you think the behavior exhibited by this person in their modlog is indicative of a troll account, and do you guys think it would be considered harassment to ban them (silly question I know). Maybe I’ve said things in a way that could come off as offensive to some people, if I did I deeply apologize I may not always be clear on what I’m trying to say and I never put people down for their gender identity. Sometimes articulation can be hard for me.

    Also I’m curious would you consider a public post about a person like this to be harassment against that person? I mean they could’ve sent a DM to you, or an email but instead they decided to take it public. Which could be interpreted to have been done in the hopes that other people would harass me for my decision to ban them from those communities.

    (I meant to post this earlier but it seems there was an error (Toastify is Awesome) and I didn’t see that until after I went back to the Tab, so uh info here may be a bit outdated because it came before there were other replies added.



  • Do you stand by your statement that trans people shouldn’t use nounself pronouns?

    Now I know you are not acting in good faith because I never said that. But let’s break down why you are banned piece by piece so there’s zero ambiguity.

    “DroneRights 2.0” - Gives people a frame of reference to understand what it looks like

    “trolling” - Describes the nature of the behavior you’ve exhibited over the past few days

    “accusations of transphobia” - You have regularly been accusing people of being transphobic for calling you out on bad behavior, and for moderative actions.

    “obscene NSFW username” - Do I need to explain why “Dragonfucker” is an NSFW username?

    Do you stand by your statement that when people decide to make unprovoked insults against drag for using neopronouns, that is drag changing the subject?

    Wow the sealioning and bad faith accusations just keep on coming. You were called a troll because your behavior indicates that of a troll, the language you use is a factor but it is only one of many factors. The other factors were the trolling and the harassment towards others, which you clearly haven’t stopped, you’re doing it right now. Then of course there’s your more recent incursions in the trans communities, which I already addressed on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and you think the main complaint against you is pronouns? This is literally what DroneRights did, they would start shit and harass other people then claim peopel who called them out were being transphobic, it’s what you’re doing right now. Just in a less direct and more sealioning way.

    Drag still has not complained, at all, about you not using drag’s pronouns. Drag’s post here is concerned with your statements against all nounself using trans people, your perception that trans people’s existence is an attack on others, and your harassment of drag by banning drag from random communities drag has never visited.

    I’ve said that nounself pronouns are difficult and unintuitive for a lot of people, which they are, I am not shaming people for using them. Many people who do use them also use other pronouns or allow people to use their name because it is hard for some people, especially people with speech and language problems. Now you don’t want to use other pronouns, but also your username is extremely NSFW, which makes it not an option especially in places where it would be inapropriate, and you’ve already expressed discontent about nicknames so you’re basically asking people to not to refer to you at all.

    Drag is curious why you didn’t say anything about your own actions in your comment, and just changed the subject to your perceived wrongdoing by drag. Do statements against thousands of trans people’s pronouns become okay when you have a story to tell about one single trans person doing a bad thing? You justified attacks on drag by pointing at this Drone Rights person, and now you’re justifying attacks on others by pointing at your stories about drag. Is that your opinion; that no trans person should do anything you don’t like if a bad trans person did it? That you’re allowed to harass drag for the actions of others?

    aaand can’t stop sealioning.


  • Hi hey, Draconic NEO here. I stand behind my decision to ban you from these communities for the trolling and hostility I watched you commit in-front of me against @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world before the thread was locked. Keep in mind that your record goes back further than the bans I gave you, and isn’t exactly stunning.

    You’re also not exactly in the right here considering, your most recent history includes telling trans people they should kill right wingers before killing themselves, encouraging both violence and suicide. You being banned from 4 communities for atrocious behavior reminiscent of one of the worst trolls on all of Lemmy is by far not the most incriminating embarrassing thing in your modlog, which I’m sure will a gift that keeps on giving if things continue at the pace they are headed.

    The ironic thing is that you have accused me of harassing you by banning you, however this post could indeed be considered harassment towards me, it’s an attempt to incite ill will and hostility towards me for banning you from communities I moderate due to witnessing your bad behavior first-hand. Now I have thick tough scales so this doesn’t really hurt or bother me, but it does reinforce my decision to ban you, especially for the reasons I did. I think many people who look at your post and modlog history will agree, especially if you continue to give us gold nuggets like this.

    What do you guys think? Ignoring the fact that preemptive bans might be controversial, how does this individual’s behavior strike you? Doesn’t seem particularly good faith to me.

    Does it really, or would the bits be exposed if you were completely nude? Feather cover is thicker and covers that stuff up very well, and also provides warmth, so it’s almost if not as good as clothing.

    Also the other guy is only wearing a t-shirt so it’s not like covering up the bits down below is a real concern there.










  • Even these are still much better quality than a lot of the stuff I’ve seen in the review area. A lot of which is basically unrecognizable, one of them I saw seemed like it was trying to make an animal of some kind but it was so malformed I couldn’t tell what it was supposed to be, or if the things in the background were supposed to be trees, buildings, or mountains.


  • I can agree that some of them, especially the more well crafted ones can be great quality. As an example here’s one of the samples I generated for the icon of the future AI dragons community.

    AI generated Dragon image

    Though unfortunately the same cannot be said for most of them. I should know since I’ve reviewed quite a few of them on AI Horde, mostly for the points but also because it can show you what people are generating. There were a decent number of good ones coming through, but a lot were extremely malformed and some were even just noise. And that translates to people posting a lot of funky and messed up ones.
