CLM, this mod probably had no idea that this was their username. Likely why they immediately reversed their action and restored the comment after realizing their mistake.
They restored it after people called them out when those people saw this post
Comm validation!
clearly CLM
If dragonfucker doesn't want to be known as dragonfucker, then they need to make a new account. And if the name dragonfucker is offensive by itself then the user with that name needs to be banned.

You can check dragonfucker is their literal username
I think the mod who removed the comment may not have realized Dragonfucker is the username and not a insult.
Isn’t this the same dude that insists on referring to himself in the third person as “drag”?
Indeed it is, they were banned from this instance for trolling and harassment, and were also permabanned from pawb.social for the same reason. They literally incited harassment towards me, made an alt and posted insanely disgusting content in a community with the purpose to defame me. Even sent me porn in my DMs, utterly disgusting piece of shit.
This is one of the people who needs to be banned everywhere (homeserver ban) sooner rather than later.
I think Dragon Rider is the drag person. Dragonfucker is someone else.
Nope. Dragon Rider is Dragonfucker's display name. Just like how my displayname is "Norah - She/They" but my username is "princessnorah"
Oh! Thank you, I didn't know that was a thing. I have no idea how things work here.
dragonfucker
and dragon "rider"
are the same person. Dragonfucker is the username, which can't be changed. Dragon "rider" is their display name.
Yeap....
He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.
He
Oh, fuck off. Best I can do is ‘they’, I’m not entertaining a troll who’s using trans people as the brunt of their joke because they wanna identify as a mythical creature so they can get pissy with people.

Hey man, I know that Dragonfucker is a troll, and I'm not defending their behavior or saying they aren't doing this (not saying they are either) but we shouldn't dismiss the idea of people identifying in unique ways like drag claims to. Xenogenders are valid and so are therians. I think that using they/them is the least we can do in this situation, and not deliberately use gendered pronouns to describe them. In dragonfucker's case they want us to do more but they're clearly not acting in good faith, if someone were, I would try and also encourage others to do so, but dragonfucker literally harassed me in DMs and publicly they have not shown any indication of good faith conduct. They just need to be banned like DroneRights and linkerbaan were.
While drag is 100% a troll, what evidence do you have that drag is lying about drag's identity? Drag is not the first person I've met with a more complex identity, and I've even met one's that are similarly upfront with their sexuality. Life,,, uh,,, finds a way, you know?
I think Mossy Feather's comment upthread puts it best. If drag is a troll, then using correct pronouns and respecting drag's identity is likely the best way to fuck with drag.

I think it's kind of hard, I would agree with that to an extent but I also know of cases where the troll wanted that and their goal was to make asses out of the people who did that. I once ran across a person who claimed to use Me/My pronouns and would flip out at people if they didn't use those pronouns. Their goal was to make anyone who tried to affirm them sound stupid so they could mock them. Indeed I saw them talking shit about how "liberals will bend over backwards to respect pronouns" or "look at these dumb libt*rds trying to please t-slurs" in that case I wasted no time calling them out and not playing any games with them.
It hasn't been so clear cut with dragonfucker, though they did (almost 100% sure it was them) harass me very aggressively seemingly trying to get me banned on pawb.social, lemmy.blahaj.zone, possibly other instances, and just try to foster ill will against me. I'm not saying this is the same case as that or that I won't try my best to respect dragonfucker. I do know though that it's not as clear cut as doing what they want or the opposite.
I hope no one gets the wrong idea or thinks I'm saying we shouldn't respect dragonfucker's pronouns. I'm just saying there's a point where you need to recognize that following along can lead you into a trap if you do it blindly.
That's not even power tripping, that's pure stupidity
Ye Power Trippin' Bastards
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
