yeah i know JK Rowling has said and done awful things to the trans community, but you really shouldn’t making posts wishing for their death or celebrating that you told them to suck on a shotgun. it’s not productive and makes allies and the trans community look criminally derange.
the better thing to do is to promote the trans community and show trans are normal people that do fun things like drag shows.
yeah didn’t i pissed off a mod so much that they banned me from other till a week later. also i think my bans are hilarious.
yeah talking about me getting banned always gets me hilarious reactions. but feel free to explain why i deserve it
Unfortunately, you fell afoul of the most common of forum errors. You didn’t check the community.
Now, while that community doesn’t have a rule about that twat, and has rules against that kind of rhetoric in general (as in violent rhetoric), you do have a degree of responsibility of vibe checking a place before you jump in.
You also have to take into account instances on the fediverse. You can’t just roll into .ml and preach capitalism, and you can’t go into a blahaj and defend a known bigot. It’s never going to end well.
I do think the ban was a tad much overall, though a temporary cool off one would have been fine. A temp ban based on the tone and phrasing of your comments would be totally justified.
And the reason given was absolutely bullshit. Rowling stan does nothing useful, it just sets up an antagonistic paradigm of mod vs users instead of a controlled curation.
Despite that, I can’t see a PTB being the right call, but it wasn’t a total YDI either. The extent of the action was too far, but done in good faith despite that
