Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

As stated elsewhere here, most people would not interpret "Don't question people's gender identity" as "Don't say dragons aren't real or that people can't be dragons".
I disagree. It is a community for gender diverse folk and the rules are there to protect them. This is not about the dragon. It is about respecting someone's identity. "Dragons aren't real" in the context of someone identifying as a dragon is no different than a TERF telling a trans woman that trans women don't exist. It it inherently questioning her identity, transphobic, and attacking her.
Can you see how that would be problematic? I think anyone surpise pikachu'ed by this should consider learning how to be a better ally instead of thinking they can say hurtful stuff.
As I said, 'most people would not interpret', and there is certainly a large number of people who quite clearly and vocally did not interpret the rule in the way that it has been clarified.
Yes, in this case, because dragons are literally not real.
Questioning an identity that is at odds with reality is not a sin.
As i said, it's not about drag. Regardless if you think drag is trolling, there are people who identity as fae/faerie. Are you going to tell them they don't exist too?
If they mean 'faerie' as in 'literally one of the fae folk'? Yes, this is not much of a surprise to anyone past the age of kindergarten, but the fae folk aren't real either. Holy shit.
Sounds good. Thanks for making it easy to know who to block
Christ.
Imagine being such a jaded fuck that you can't simply allow someone to identify how they so choose. Eat shit, PugJesus
Imagine being so infantilized that you find the idea that anyone refusing to acknowledge you playing pretend dragon is a violation of your basic dignity.
What does it mean to identify as a fae? Do they literally think they're a fae from folklore?
And to be clear, this is a genuine question.
I'm no authority to speak on this, but I can say (gender) identity and pronouns aren't necessarily linked. Some people might lean into the fairy thing for their aesthetic or identity, others wouldn't. Some might use fae/faer pronouns explicitly to break out of the gender binary / ternary, others might just find that these pronouns fit them. I hope someone with more knowledge on the matter could weigh on.
Not actively and unprompted, but since you're asking: yes, fae aren't real (and if we ever discover them hiding somewhere, I'll happily apologise!).
And no, I'm not a transphobe or whatever label you're gonna try and put on me. But obvious trolls baiting people into getting banned, because dragons aren't real no matter how you "identify", are not a good look for you.
Looks like you prefer trolls to people who actually care about trans issues, in which case: good luck with your communities!
Okay, time for me to throw my hat into the ring. Dogs/Puppies are real, are they not? I use pup/pup's pronouns as my preferred pronouns. I identify strongly with canine-kind. For example, I have dysphoria about my lack of a tail.
Will you respect my pronouns?
BTW, Ada clarifying the rules made me feel comfortable changing my displayname to include my preferred pronouns, FWIW.
PJ somehow thinks they are better than everyone else, also hates people he doesn't understand. News at 11.
God he's just going mask off at full speed.
