I don't expect this to play particularly well here, and maybe I'm just being conspiratorial, but here goes:
I banned jordanlund@lemmy.world from !transgender@lemmy.blahajzone earlier today- he literally posted a matt walsh youtube link and was being otherwise transphobic in a space where that gets you banned. (link)
one of jordanlunds removed comments w/ matt walsh video:

the reason I put down was 'trolling about neopronouns' I stand by that, it was violating instance rules and was unacceptable behavior from a moderator of another instance.
Shortly after that I got banned from news@lemmy.world for 'trolling'. To be clear, jordanlund does not moderate news@lemmy.world, but the timing struck me as an odd coincidence.
The .world thread in question (link)
I was expressing my actual opinion/position on this, if anything the post I was replying to should be considered a rule 1 violation implying leftists are russian/under russian sway:
spoiler
The removed comments that I was banned (permanent) for were just me being earnest about my position, which you're welcome to disagree with.
I don't view protecting my rights as something worth sacrificing other people for, even if they're on the other side of the planet. You can be mad at me or hate me for that, but I'm not trolling.
People replying felt it was reasonable to call me an idiot for example, yet another example of selective moderation. on .world.
I don't have any conclusive proof that my banning Jordanlund and then getting banned are related other than the suspicious timing, I welcome clarification.
Anyway in the interest of neutrality and transparency I submit both my ban and jordanlunds for review.
Why are people so mad about someone using "drag" as a pronoun?
Is it hurting drag? No. Is it hurting anyone else? No.
I have also seen people say drag is a troll. I cant confirm nor deny that since i have only seen a couple of drags comments, but most people who have said something bad about dragonrider talk about the pronouns, not the person
"I identify as a dragon fucker" feels a lot like "I identify as an attack helicopter."
You clearly haven't spent much time around furries if anything about drag surprises you.
The princess is right. There are quite a few dragon fuckers in this world.
They're just dumbass transphobes. It's not that complicated.
They just mask how much trans people make them feel "icky" by targeting normalized people, and masking it as "I'm just telling a troll to fuck off."
If you don't like Drag, just block Drag. Don't announce it, just block and move on.
"But drag isn't a pronoun!!" Who cares? How does it impact you?
Look at this flawless solution that would have headed off about 30 posts across a dozen communities. However you feel about Drag doesn't matter because the Fediverse was FOUNDED on a users capability to Block And Move On. Just as you would for any other supposed bad faith actor. Unless harrasment is whats really important here...
Btw poor Drag must feel like a piece of meat at this point. If you're reading this my drag, we stan.
drag posted this a few days ago :/
I saw, hope drags alright.
I tried that. But at some point I realised there were convos in comms I mod that I couldn't see because I had him blocked. So no go.
