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

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.

Isn’t this the same dude that insists on referring to himself in the third person as “drag”?

He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.

You forgot the ye olde english guy

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t think I’ve run into him yet, do I wanna know, or is it something I should remain blissfully unaware of as long as possible?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

I think they don't post as much anymore but it was one person who kept posting while using the letter thorn (Þ, pronounced th as in the), people kept complaining that it made their posts less legible.

They ended up doubling down and incorporating other archaic letters, and over time they ended up writing all of their posts in very unreadable archaic writing.

Not the point, but didn't they use þ for the th in "three"? And then ð for that in "the"? That's their usage in Icelandic and I don't remember them using the letters differently. But my memory isn't worth much.

The person in question was very thorough about reviving older spelling conventions. I asked him about it once and he gave me a reply written in what he considered right. It was a LOT. Still, I'm impressed with his commitment to the bit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh true. I am too lazy to edit my post tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you mean "☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆"? If so, they are very much still active, posting what looks to me at first glance as disinformation. Doesn't look to be getting many downvotes though I assume it's because people just block instead.

Can confirm, I am indeed blocking some special characters

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

On the one hand, bringing back letters like thorn could help improve the readability of English by making it more clear what sound each character represents, especially for people learning English as a second language. We only dropped those letters because early movable type sets only included Latin letters, forcing printers to make do with sometimes unintuitive letter combos. But on the other hand, trying to force it by posting on Lemmy isn't going to accomplish anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

People can't be bothered with to/too, there/their/they're, or lose/loose. You want them to learn another letter?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Oh I saw that guy! Can confirm it was annoying, but I like having a few eccentric annoying people on here. They're like mini celebrities.

Indeed it is, they were banned from this instance for trolling and harassment, and were also permabanned from pawb.social for the same reason. They literally incited harassment towards me, made an alt and posted insanely disgusting content in a community with the purpose to defame me. Even sent me porn in my DMs, utterly disgusting piece of shit.

This is one of the people who needs to be banned everywhere (homeserver ban) sooner rather than later.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I think Dragon Rider is the drag person. Dragonfucker is someone else.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope. Dragon Rider is Dragonfucker's display name. Just like how my displayname is "Norah - She/They" but my username is "princessnorah"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh! Thank you, I didn't know that was a thing. I have no idea how things work here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

dragonfucker and dragon "rider" are the same person. Dragonfucker is the username, which can't be changed. Dragon "rider" is their display name.
