This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

Was banned from !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone for calling out a Mod's misuse of the Egg prime directive to criticize trans people for helping out trans women in denial of their trans-ness. They're denying the validity of signs of being transgender, what the actual fuck, this shit is not okay. Then after banning me that dipshit locks the post so no one else can reply on it. How is this not power-tripping?

you literally linked to a comment in which Draconic_NEO said explicitly that neopronouns like xe/xer are valid. and last i checked, calling nounself pronouns "confusing and unintuitive" is not the same as calling them invalid. if you cannot find a concrete example of someone saying they believe something apart from one where they literally say the opposite of that thing, consider rethinking your stance.
He's arguing that they shouldn't be used because they're “confusing and unintuitive” he's denying the validity of them and refusing to use them, instead calling people who use them trolls. Dumbass is justifying his transphobia by referencing DroneRights and claiming people use those pronouns only to troll. What a repulsive thing to say about a trans person.
@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com you should be ashamed of yourself, and be banned from every instance on the Fediverse like the hateful transphobic troll you are.
for fuck's sake, chill. they were calling out one specific trans person who was harassing people who weren't using their preferred pronouns.
Draconic_NEO thinks that while trans people are valid, and neopronouns like xe/xer are valid, neoprounouns like "drag" that refer only to a single person cease to function as pronouns. when a word refers exclusively to a single person, that word is a proper noun. Draconic_NEO also thinks that hounding people over failure to use neopronouns is not especially poggers. these are both very reasonable stances.
by your comment history i'm guessing you've just started hormones. you're definitely not the first trans girl who's gone through a major emotional phase. hormones are running high -- it's no surprise you're prone to lashing out. but i'd like to remind you that you're saying that someone hates all trans people based on an opinion in reference to neopronouns, which are an entirely separate issue from the concept of transness and a contentious topic even among nonbinary people -- an opinion, i might add, that that person has demonstrated they do not hold.
personally, I'd advocate against someone being banned from the entire Fediverse if they said being gay should be illegal -- and i am gay. people's opinions can change, and permanent bans from entire platforms do nothing except make them more bitter and more hateful. you can ban assholes from communities, and if you disagree with the mods on whether someone should be banned, lemmy has a block button for a reason.
more to the point, though, the point of the fediverse is, and has been from its inception, uncensorable freedom of speech. the fact that no corporation -- and by extension no individual -- can tell you what you can and can't say, regardless of what that is, is literally the entire point. the fediverse is an unfathomably large place, not limited to the five or six instances you keep hearing about, and it is designed specifically so that it is impossible to completely ban someone. in fact, TruthSocial (Donald Tr*mp's personal Tw*tter clone) is a Mastodon instance. the price we pay for nobody being able to tell us what we can and can't post about here on fedi with regard to queerness is that we have no means to fight back against anti-gay/anti-trans dipshits besides defederation and the block button.
also, pro tip: pinging someone over and over and calling them a hateful bigot, especially when they aren't, doesn't make them change their mind, it just makes them annoyed at you.
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com Hey just want to let you guys know about this situation even though Jgrim did end up temporarily banning them for the harassment.
Just for the record I do not think I have engaged in transphobia towards other users, nor did I even provoke this user. I simply pointed out that she deserved the ban she got for the behavior she engaged in, and she decided to start making unmerited accusations towards me and harassing me like this with mentions and making threats to get me banned. I asked her not to mention meearlier and that I no longer wished to talk with her and she told me:
But still continued to mention me, leading up to now with her getting a 3 day ban from her instance admin but nothing really seeming to happen here from any of the reports I made since it does also violate this instance and community's rules. I think at the very least the post should be locked since it's outlived its usefulness, but that's just my opinion on this.
I've locked it now
