I mean, I haven't posted in any of those comms in months. It's no big loss. But it also demonstrates that stopping my participation on those comms was the right choice to begin with, I think - the instance admins are at odds with what I regard to be basic facts ("Dragons aren't real", "Human beings are human beings").
Not enough that I'm trans-positive, NB-positive, and genderfluid-positive. One must be Dragon-positive.
It seems crazy to me how you can be casually labelled "transphobic" and instance banned for having a perfectly rational discussion about neopronouns on another instance, even though you have consistently not misgendered anyone, including Drag. I guess the "pre-crime" thought police are on the case. It's not enough that one follows their instance rules, no questioning or discussion of the rules will be tolerated either. Oh well, it's their loss.
The admin summon was one of the more bizarre parts.
Yeah I agree with you on that count too.
Sometimes I will very pettily ping someone I had a previous disagreement with, if something reminds me of them, or what we argued about. Is that weird?
I don't think that that's weird (for arguments it is a bit petty, but I also understand the urge to be petty - 'It'll never happen', huh? READ IT AND WEEP), but calling an admin from another instance and requesting to ban someone who doesn't go to your instance at all is.
It's like being the weird guy who calls the cops to report everything their neighbor does.
And in this case, the cops made an arrest because the pile of leaves in the yard were in the shape of a pentagram (displaying intent to Unlawfully Summon, no doubt).
Question, if someone pinged an admin to ban someone for being something dbzer0 doesn't want/like, would that be a step too far?
You want me to ban Kerfuffled?
Kerfuffled™
I just got banned from blahaj for mistrademarking you, hope you're happy.
I'm happy I called dibs and that's definitely how trademarks work.
No, just asking as they are my admin.
It would be bizarre on the part of the pinger, at the very least.
Fair
Why does this feel like a gotcha?
It's not. If someone pinged you or the admins for violating the instance rules, would that be accepted?
Well it's one way to do it, but a report is usually preferable imo.
