From my perspective, dragonfucker clearly came here to be a shit stir and cause chaos. However, it is important to still respect people's requested gender pronouns. If you think someone's gender pronouns request is too far-fetched, just don't interact with / block that person.

I think banning this individual was the correct move, but misgendering anyone is not okay. Notice I'm avoiding pronouns altogether here to dodge the issue completely.

I'm not entirely up to date on what went down between the instance and the moderators of this community, but it's clear communication broke down and this one person was able to create a chasm between the two.

What I do not like is the lack of communication on the moderators' end, and it's very clear that most 196 users do not agree with this move as it has not been properly explained, and moving to a large instance goes against the idea of decentralization.

Have you actually seen any of drag's posts that people don't like, or are you operating based on rumour?

Come on drag, you're gonna pull a take like that and then wonder why you're on their shit list? I know you're off the wall, but come on dude.

Nazis deserve to be shot at.

Trans people shouldn't commit suicide.

Welp, they did it. Just not really sure what happens now. I should hope some new members who are a bit more in touch with the community get appointed to the team.
