Two hours ago I made a post to !libertyhub@lemmy.blahaj.zone about US politics. I had previously had a good relationship with the head moderator of this community. They've encouraged My political posts, and he's removed comments by people that misgendered Me, and reminded people of My pronouns, like in this thread two days ago:
However, an hour ago in this new thread, the same moderator who was telling people to respect My capitalised pronouns uses lowercase pronouns to address Me:
And he has left up earlier comments which also seemed to misgender Me, and which I specifically pointed out:
Even as some users in the thread gender Me correctly:
I'm making this thread in the main community because since the mod has banned Me, I can no longer report the comment or leave a reply correcting the pronoun. I would like to gain the attention of @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Misgendering trans people and banning Them at the same time so They can't do anything about it is not the kind of thing I expect to see on Blahaj. This mod is clearly 100% aware of My pronouns, and made a choice here. I suppose they could be using the general "you", but it just doesn't look like that, what with banning Me, telling Me My post isn't welcome, and telling Me to go to a different community. I used to have a good rapport with this mod, they said several times that they valued My posts. I posted something he disagrees with, and now all of a sudden respecting trans people's pronouns isn't a priority anymore. He's misgendering Me and they're leaving up comments that also misgender Me. It feels targeted.
EDIT: I cannot seem to embed images. Every time I hit edit and fix the image links and press save, they change to some kind of aussie.zone image proxy link. For now I have left them as links without embedding them.
That's fucked up mod behavior.
The best part is that being a "liberal" isn't against their rules, and my comment wasn't even rude.
Definitely tempered my expectations about that community.
Story Time if you're curious
Basically it went like this:
"Huh, neat a lefty community. I wonder if this one is going to be a chill one I can hang out in."
Immediately sees a "both sides" posts
"Well that's missing some much needed context"
Makes comment and carries on
Gets ding in inbox after loading up another community
BANNED for being a "liberal"
"Well that answers that question"
The mod's behaviour is on full display in the post as well.
The comment that got me banned
And the post
Edit: Formatting
Yep, that sounds about right for this guy. He's a transphobic troll trying to induct Lemmy users into a suicide cult where they abstain from voting and let Trump kill them because voting for a liberal "feels bad", and we all know some rich asshole's feelings are more important than the millions of people living in the West Bank.
