I go for a run and TC69 deletes her account

Anyway I'm back from the gulag. I've got thoughts, but I'm gonna chill out and not post for a little while - Trying to embrace @Awoo@hexbear.net thought - so it's only going to be a short novel of a post.
Thanks for the support y'all, it's warmed my heart to see all the people who wrote about me getting banned. TBH I was being hostile, though I felt like my hostility was an appropriate response, and it was not like I came out swinging. It ramped up slowly as this situation became more... Situationy.
I'm really happy to see the direction things are going right now. @Lyudmila@hexbear.net Is handling this how it should've been handled from the start. Truly doing a great job. 10/10

I wanna say I don't think there's a shadowy mod cabal, that's not what I meant by "clique", but I guess it could be read in the commnist way.
I didn't expect immediate action, I still don't.
Renaming the comms for a joke was not okay. Renaming them because of racism was very okay.
Just how we gotta be watchful for transphobia, we gotta be watchful for ableism. The infantilizing "you can't take care of yourself, I know best for you" attitude of a lot of people is ableist. Even when the sentiment is rational, speaking like that to other users is ableist and it creates an environment that is not welcoming for ND people. Extra sucky to tell someone who was a back- and knee injury that flares up and makes them literally unable to walk at times - that they should walk outside. This wasn't completely relevant this time (hence the run), but still, it has hurt to be told to do so before.
Embrace Awoo thought.
Main.

I'd forgotten how bad TC60 was a community admin though lol. Thought she'd mellowed out This was just the VCJ all over again, really exemplary.
Comes back
Immediate strugglesession
Carcosa steps down
Vagueposts about misogyny in the modlog
Bans all dissenters
Condescends and infantilizes the userbase
This will surely stop the conflict
72T steps down
Deletes her account
Refuses to elaborate
I know the strugglesesh isn't her fault, but it is very funny.

edit: forgot to say that banning me was fair. Not for the post I got banned for, but for how I treated @blight@hexbear.net. I apologised later, but I was way too much. I do not think I was too much elsewhere, since I believe I gave back what was passed around. I do not respect Ben Shapiro and I do not respect people that behave like him. Also death to redditors.
- This account has made it 4 and a half years and still going strong because every time there's been a struggle session with TC69 around, I've had the unfortunate survival instinct to shut the fuck up. I'd like to feel free and able to speak as an equal member of the community, but that shits not allowed and anyone who says anything to the contrary isn't around to tell their side of the story.
  Look, I'm as grateful for this being a LGBTQ+ welcoming space as anyone, but clearly transphobia/chauvinism or whatever aren't the only reason that particular admin starts silencing people. We can be grateful for their contributions in some important aspects but acknowledge they're pretty bad at handling a "community manager" role. I hope they come back as a user, not a mod or admin, because this community is genuinely a really nice place when shit stirrers aren't at the helm and they deserve to know what that feels like.
  
  thank you. i've been here since we got banned from
  (i delete my account and spin a new one every few months specifically so as not to ever be a "power poster but that's another topic) and hard same. the pronoun wars had to be waged and i'm glad that tc69 handled that so ruthlessly but i thought after her hiatus that she was returning as a poster, something i would've welcomed. was genuinely a little disconcerted when i saw the [A] account spin back up but was hoping time had had a mellowing effect. i wish her nothing but the best in general but ya, i agree that managing a largely cohesive community is not a great fit and not after a period of absence like that which only reaffirmed my skepticism towards the power poster clique(s)

  [grabs shovel] Sorry pops, this is for the workers' revolution
  
  :waltuh:
- Awoo is easily one of my all time favorite posters on this site. I am very much a long-term Awoo superfan. But in this case, I have to say, I think she is off base and does not fully appreciate or understand what has happened here. You have been one of our most powerful posters in this recent struggle so much so that you were silenced and stripped of your godgiven
  for speaking truth!!1! Jokes aside, I do implore you in this one special case not to embrace Awoo thought. Please take into account what @AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net said here
- I'm glad you got unbanned. My plan had been to write a post appealing your ban staying first thing this morning, but now I can instead eat toast and drink coffee and hug my cat
