Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.


Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Yes, yes we do. If you visit someone's profile, there is a button to DM them.

That dude is miles and miles beyond obnoxious. I get actively angry to see his moronic comments.

Edit: If you're in here defending this guy you're either an idiot, a troll yourself, or his alt.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I just posted it here cuz it's a drama community and drag brings lots of drama

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

Getting you actively angry is the point, they're a troll.

[–] FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Already said it in !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone but I'll say it again so others can see it here.

It seems drag was banned from the site for sharing people's DMs, though I'm sure that's not the whole story, drag has a history of being banned for way more than just the thing on the label. Looking at the comments on drag's home instance where it hasn't been removed, it seems drag was sharing those DMs in attempt to libel Ada for not taking the action drag wanted. That's on top of the fact that she did not give drag permission to share them. It's an asshole move for sure, and I have to say if I were in Ada's shoes I'd do the same.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ada was also already wary of drag after the respecting pronouns rule announcement, because a number of blahaj users rightfully pointed out drag is still likely a troll. Fluff around and find out basically.

[–] FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It ultimately isn't surprising. Drag has been very sus from the beginning, drag exhibited a lot of behaviors that made me leery. Though at the time I didn't say anything since it was only a hunch and most people were just voicing transphobic complaints about pronouns.

clown down.

legit you cannot convince me this wasn't trolling, and the fact so many people haven't been able to tell, for so long, is deeply funny but also somewhat depressing. I blocked them almost as soon as I encountered them. It reeks of bait turned up to 11, like an edgy 16 year old just heard about the concept of making your own pronouns and went "ok how can I make this as stupid as humanly possible to fuck with people?".

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Literally never seen a more obvious person trolling the LGBT+ community, the only way he could have been more clear is if he had chosen Attack Helicopter instead of dragon. I feel just like you, I don't understand why so many people humored him for so long when he was actively mocking them to their faces.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I think with regards to the whole pronouns thing, just because they are a troll doesn't mean you should ignore their pronoun preference, as it sets a dangerous precedent for when its right or not to do so.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana 4 points 1 day ago

You haven't wandered the Fediverse enough, them. By the way, please just respect people's pronouns, we may never know.

That's an instance ban. Instance bans automatically issue community bans for local communities the user has been active in.

Why? “Sharing dms” what happened

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Careful not to mythologize the characters of people who have just hurt others.

With 100+ comments already this is probably a message delivered too late, but if you are reading this be aware that comments here that digress away from simply keeping history into ogling and ridiculing serve only to feed the needs of a user who already has alt accounts drifting in as we speak.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I'm really amazed how they don't try very hard to conceal their alts as alts. Change what they refer to themselves as in the third person, and everything else is exactly the same. Low effort.

Finally, the anti-trans troll falls out of favor.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 49 points 2 days ago (38 children)

Sharing DMs is a dick move.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Strangers on the Internet don't owe you jack just because you send them a DM.

Ironic considering how much flack blahaj got for defending that user.

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (53 children)

I think Blåhaj handled this person well over all. Even if Drag wad just 100% troll, drag wasn't being fed in Blåhaj and had to go elsewhere. But also there was always the chance that drag is just someone on a journey or with things to sort out. Some people have completely given up on being any gender and treat it like a joke in an almost nihilistic way. But clearly there's a line between that and an actual troll.

Either way, I wouldn't say that it's standard heterosexual cisgender behaviour to go as far as Drag did just for the lulz. So maybe one of these days, Drag will have an awakening and remember how no one in the community either fed drag or shunned drag when drag was confused and behaving badly.
