The locked post isn’t even on Blahaj. The removed comment, that I was leaving because of disagreements with the admins but acknowledged their right to make such decisions, was hilariously petty in the vein of Ada removing posts (and handing out bans) for people saying things like “Dragons aren’t real”. Nor am I at any point defended by the 196 mods.
You very deliberately said you don’t acknowledge drag’s gender, and in the same comment acknowledged that your view isn’t welcome on Blahaj. How is it petty for an admin to enforce the rules you knew and admitted you were breaking?
You could have said exactly that without adding in the transphobic part. How come you left it out just now, but not a month ago? Did you learn what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable since then?
The recent position of the admins is that you don’t acknowledge dragon rider as a gender? That’s a mighty strange position for an admin to have. It seems more like your personal opinion than Ada’s.
Honestly, at the time, I hadn’t interacted with Drag at all for months, and Drag had been banned from 196 by then anyway, and 196 was the vast majority of my Blahaj activity. For me, it was just that I didn’t feel comfortable staying in an instance that was going to hand out bans and remove comments to ensure the existence of dragons wasn’t questioned. I ‘got’ the underlying logic of it, but didn’t feel comfortable sticking around for an instance that was going to go to bat for someone who literally and verbatim repeated the old conservative “Attack Helicopter” canard.
This thread is the first time I’ve interacted with Drag since, I believe.
And you shouldn’t have explained why your opinions are against the rules. In doing so, you broke the rules, which you should have known would happen, because you knew your opinions were against the rules.

“I acknowledge that the recent position of the admins means I am no longer welcome here, and will thus be leaving. I wish them all the best.”
“How DARE you say that out loud? Removed”

What the fuck do you think “the recent position of the admins” refers to
Keep insisting that transphobia is when someone thinks dragons aren’t real.

The recent position of the admins was that refusing to acknowledge the existence of dragons was no longer welcome on Blahaj.
Serious question. Why not just block the fucker of dragons and move on? That’s what I did months ago and it has not negatively affected me at all.
