I'm gonna get real with you folks, we've had way too many of these posts recently. I've been reflecting on this topic a lot the past few days. For me personally, I couldn't care less about my gender identity. But just because that's true for me, doesn't make that true for everyone.
The beauty of the fediverse is that if you don't like the way a particular instance or community is moderated you can simply choose another to hang out on, or create your own.
Blajah has made it pretty clear by now they will ban anyone who argues against the validity of xenogenders, in order to create a safe space for those folks. That's fair enough imo.
Safe spaces should be respected, and Blajah's admins/mods do not deserve abuse for creating and maintaining those spaces.
I can completely understand why Blajah users don't want to have to constantly argue with external users about the validity of their chosen identities. Bans are one way Blajah has decided to manage that problem so that their users can experience lemmy in relative peace and safety. While it is a blunt tool and I have my reservations about preemptive bans, there are not many other options for @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone, other than defederation from most instances. That would be a terrible outcome for the fediverse as a whole.
In order to help Blajah to maintain their safe space, I would like to propose, if @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com agrees and community sentiment is positive:
- that we no longer accept posts about this topic in this community; and
- we also remove previous posts on this topic from the community.
That's all folks, have at 'er.

Jesus
I haven't a clue what event you're referring to even though I feel as though I've encountered nothing but your comments today. If your goal is to discuss a specific abuse then you've done a piss poor job of it.
I'd recommend reaching out to @dbzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you think there's been that severe of an abuse that's happened, and the community mod hasn't addressed it well enough.
Honestly, though, it just seems like you have an axe to grind and you're taking it out on everyone else. Either settle it with the admins or cool off a bit, you're souring the space for everyone by flaming out like this.

I haven’t a clue what event you’re referring to even though I feel as though I’ve encountered nothing but your comments today.
I've summarized the events in this thread alone at least twice.
My opinions on xenogender aside, the fact that Blahaj defenders, in this very comm, harassed a trans user into leaving the Fediverse has me fuming, and rightfully so in my opinion. And they play it off as “[The harassed user] deserved it.” even now. That is pretty core to the anger I feel right now.
Uh, considering recent events, where Blahaj defenders dogpiled a trans person on another instance for disagreeing with them, you sure about that
Most of my comments have been refutations to specific arguments put forth in the context of those events.
-
What user was it?
-
-
I personally find people identifying as animals a bit weird, but honestly, its their life and they're not harming anyone, so whats the deal with it?
-
I mean, I don't necessarily disagree. What's pertinent here, though, is that the position that identifying as animals is weird is a position worthy of getting a trans person accused of being a transphobe and a fascist, and dogpiled until they left the Fediverse entirely.
Clearly, regardless of your position on the abstract matter of animals and identity, the behavior of the local community is less than stellar.
-
I'm most likely wrong, but were they accused of being a transphobe, or just gatekeeping?

Do you have something more specific than your (purely objective) recounting of what happened? A link to it?
At the moment, I'm not sure I'd trust you if you told me the sky was blue

https://lemmy.world/post/26286098
It's one of the most recent threads on this comm.
-
it looks like you're geting angry about something third hand that another person reported as happening to them that even they're not 100% on the causative factors but strongly suspect.
-
There was a second ban that happened in that thread which I noted in a comment. And then, after the events of the thread, the user decided to leave the Fediverse entirely after, as a trans person, being repeatedly and insistently called a transphobe and fascist while other users backed the sentiment.
-
I think I need to stop trying to undestand why you are attacking people and screaming at them. Good bye.
-
Sorry that harassing a trans user until they leave the platform is no big deal in your eyes?
-
-
Whatever bro. You're not gonna bring them back. It hasn't been swept under the rug. And they are hardly the first person to leave the fediverse.
Just gotta move on at this point, you can't control other servers. They are going to do what they do, and you obviously disagree, as is your right, but at some point you need to accept it and look to the future. You're not accomplishing anything by continually removed about what happened in the past.
For the record, I don't think you're a transphobe or anything of the sort. I understand your frustration and agitation, but there's really nothing more to say at this point, just let it go.

It hasn’t been swept under the rug.
I'm literally the only person who's brought it up.
You’re not accomplishing anything by continually removed about what happened in the past.
Enabling bad behavior, on the other hand, is an accomplishment, if a negative one. It happened today, by the way, which is a pretty small 'past'.
For the record, I don’t think you’re a transphobe or anything of the sort. I understand your frustration and agitation, but there’s really nothing more to say at this point, just let it go.
There isn't much to add at this late point, but choosing to bang this drum was the right choice. Some fucked up shit happened, and an angry terminally online cripple is the only one who fucking made a squeak.
-
Okay. I've just read like 50 comments from you in a couple different threads, I didn't realize this all happened today.

..... ok but isn't that post still about your burn out with blahaj?
-
That post is about a different user, a trans user, who was banned for comments they made on my post, which is not linked to directly.
-
... for the same sentiment that got you banned
You're not upset that a trans user got banned, you're upset you got yourself banned and are pointing to a trans user as a shield against anti-trans accusations
You're digging the hole deeper. Just let it go.
-
I'm glad others can see PJ for who he is, makes me think I'm taking crazy pills with how PJ gaslights and uses DARVO.
-
with how PJ gaslights and uses DARVO.
Your abuse of terminology without regard for meaning continues, I see.

… for the same sentiment that got you banned
I said that dragonfucker wasn't a gender, because dragons don't exist.
The other user was first banned for asking a question about neopronouns, and then, subsequently, opining that people could not be possums.
You’re not upset that a trans user got banned, you’re upset you got yourself banned and are pointing to a trans user as a shield against anti-trans accusations
No, I'm upset that a trans user was harassed to the point of leaving the Fediverse.

What.

OK but you can see how this statement breaks their rules on gatekeeping the use of pronouns, right?
-

At no point did I make a statement that I wasn't willing to respect a user's pronouns. In fact, I explicitly stated that, despite my disagreement, I always made an effort to respect Drag's pronouns.
In any case, as I said, my ban is secondary. I was willing to let it lie with the lock. It was irritating, I removeded about it, it was over. Coming back today to find a trans user harassed off the fucking Fediverse by Blahaj? Bit more upsetting.
