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.
Some acronyms you might see.

Was banned from [email protected] 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?

The recommendations on nounself language are not my own. Take that issue up with them. No one has a problem with dragons pronouns. They have a problem with their inability to write consistently and use them in a way that is understandable.
You are seeking and choosing these disagreements and friction, and there's no profit to you. Look at this post, you spent all this time arguing with people and they are consistently disagreeing with you. It's possible the whole group is disrespecting your concerns, sure, but it's also possible you are approaching the issue with particular energy that doesn't translate well in text, and is not winning any battles for you. That's fine, you don't need to win votes, they don't matter. Either way, it's you experiencing negativity in non essential interactions. You are seeking it out, and then cohabitating with it, rather than discarding it. Even a community you have interest in has put you on the bench for a break.
Edit everyone is guilty of getting sucked in sometimes. I am too. I'm laid up from a car wreck and can't sleep so I'm spending too much time on here, imo.
For a person with very real and very valid stresses and concerns, you are digging up unnecessary fresh ones to add to the collection with these interactions.
Again I am not telling you to leave, or that you are unwelcome anywhere. That is not my place. I'm only responding to the content you have provided to respond to, most relevantly, the way you have commented in this thread.
You are right, this discussion is going in circles, most people here don't see or understand why this is wrong and it's likely blahaj.zone doesn't either. Otherwise they wouldn't have allowed him to become a mod now would they?
Well let's not conflate what I'm right about, and the rest of your comment ๐
I think people have been weirdly authoritarian when it comes to drag's pronoun - personally don't get why they can respect others pronouns but not drag's ๐คทโโ๏ธ (still doesn't mean because they're disrespectful about that they're wrong about everything)
I explained the logical readability concerns, the group generally has no issues, dragon just uses them inconsistently in a way that makes it seem confusing and inauthentic
