I apparently got shadow banned almost a year ago from blahaj, for a comment I made on lemmy.world
(lemmy.sdf.org)
For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.
They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.
You're not allowed to tell people what they can and can't be hurt by. This whole thread and all it's bad takes are a great example of why trans communities need to be so protective of their already harassed users.
This was a deserved ban.
Pick better fights.
I was hurt by the ban.
You hurt those in the community. Which is why you were banned.
You went in to a trans space, and told people who did not like to be called dude, to get over it dude. By and large, trans women do not appreciate being called dude. You are within your right to think it's gender neutral, but those that constantly have their gendered denied do not feel the same. You ignored the context of the community you were saying that in.
The fact that even a year later, you are standing by your right to call people dude who do not want it shows how deserved the shadowban was and how little you actually care about "inclusive language".
Ok dude
It was in the Ask Lemmy community on lemmy.world
These unfounded accusations hurt.
Ah, well apologies. I assumed that if a blahaj mod banned you it would be at least on that instance. While I still disagree with your position on dude as gender neutral, as I said before it is your position to hold. I retract everything else.
Water under the bridge.
Like I said in a different comment, I probably didn't need to be so firm with the "get over it" part. I should have omitted that, in hindsight. I was just trying to convey there's no need to go zero to sixty on the offense.
