I was in dbzer0 when I made the initial comments, in response to being called a transphobe (I contended that I was not a transphobe). I was banned by Ada, the Blahaj admin, for that. I then made a post on YePowerTrippingBastards, being somewhat miffed that I was banned from another instance entirely, one which I don't even use, for the crime of defending myself against accusations of transphobia.
The trans commenter who is leaving the Fediverse was banned, and again, this is for activity in dbzer0, by commenting on that post. They then made a post questioning the logic of that, and were subsequently accused of being a transphobe and a fascist for daring to object by Blahaj's 'brave' defenders.
So don't use blahaj.
You seem more upset at being denied an audience. I got banned from the entirety of .ml for a winnie the pooh comment, and the worst it's done is given me a hilarious anecdote
I already don't.
An audience from an instance I don't post to?
I find this more of an 'irritating anecdote' in terms of personal feelings, combined the more general, less personal horror of 'Jesus Christ did they really just do that to a trans user for disagreeing that people can't be possums?'
You've made at least a dozen posts about this. Clearly they upset you by denying you your God given right to shove an opinion they vehemently disagree with in their face. Most people don't react the way you have when they're told they're not welcome somewhere. They just move on.
Sure, lmao.
I made one post back when the controversy went down and I left Blahaj.
I made one post when I was banned by Ada for comments I made on dbzer0 defending myself against accusations of transphobia, because I found that absurd.
I made this third post because I came home today to find out that Blahaj had bullied a trans user into leaving the Fediverse for thoughtcrime, accusing them of being a transphobe and a fascist.
But anything to lick boots, huh?
Cross posting to other comms counts as additional posts. As far as whatever situation you're on about, quite literally who cares. Not all trans people are good people and there are objectively fascist trans people, a quick visible example is Caitlyn Jenner. Trans people are not special. They don't get special rights. If they want to spout bullshit that's against the rules or morality of a comm they get banned like anyone else. Treating them differently because they're trans would be transphobic.
I really don't get how you people in general consistently fail to understand that.
Yep, that's about the response I expected for a trans user being bullied off a platform. I love that you, by your own admission, don't know the details, and yet you still jump to 'quite literally who cares'.
Not you, apparently. You don't care if they were a fascist or a transphobe. You know a trans person was bullied off the platform - and you decided, on that basis alone - 'who cares?'
Because you yourself, someone banned for transphobia, are telling the story. It also doesn't matter if they are trans. You're using their identity as a weapon.
These two things lead me to trust the actual trans person that did the banning over you, a transphobic user.
Just because the reason given for the ban calls them a transphobe, doesn't make it true. Where are his transphobic statements?
Attacking the validity of someone's gender identity is still transphobic no matter if it's a troll or not. There is no good that can come from it and all arguments you will use have already been used verbatim against identities that are more common.
That is just completely fucking asinine.
A troll using outrageous gender pronouns as a shield is absolutely something that should be called out, especially by a trans community, since their whole agenda is literally to make y'all look stupid by association and when you attempt to defend them.
And it fucking worked.
For the record, I really don't care what anyone wants to be called. Someone genuinely wants to be a dragonfucker, fine. No skin off my sack. I am a therian myself. But weaponizing it by going of your way to antagonize people and then hide behind it is absolute fucking idiotic behavior. And defending it is idiotic, too.
And attacking their gender identity gives people the right to attack yours, as well as whatever else that is not mainstream about you.
That's the entire argument. Let the trolls be handled by mods, not randos in a community that more likely than not will find therian identities just as ridiculous as dragon based genders.
It's about not tolerating a behavior at all, no matter what, since it doesn't have a place.
To put it another way, in a space of inclusion you cant target white people for their race, otherwise you're just racist towards whites. (Yes I'm aware some spaces don't recognize reverse racism, and I'm aware of the incredibly stupid arguments racists come up with to justify that). In a space of inclusion you cant target straights for being straight, otherwise you're no better than antigay bigots.
In a space of inclusion you cant target a gender identity you don't like because it might be a troll, because then you're exactly as transphobic as the people calling your gender identity fake. You're performing the same actions for the same reason, just with the belief that person isnt as serious about their identity as you are.
You're being the weird person that stalks their ex.
You left blahaj. Most people don't fucking care what a comm does when they've left it, it's no longer something they give a shit about. You keep watching it and making posts.
EDIT: realised potential for inadvertently misgendering, neutralised pronouns
Are you not reading anything that I'm writing?
None of these events happened on Blahaj.
They came to other instances to do this shit.
No, they saw you perpetuating drama on other communities and decided that they didn't want you in their space.
If you get banned from a commuity on blahaj, it only bans you from the blahaj instance of that community. Doesn't even ban you from the federated community. You're basically just on mute.
This isn't reddit, that shit is not global. Mods have no power outside their own instances.
Because I defended myself from accusations of being a transphobe on that non-Blahaj community?
How am I the one doing the stalking when my comments, in another instance, in another community, are sniffed out as a reason for a ban? A ban for an instance I haven't posted to in months?
Then why are you pissing yourself about this everywhere?
