I would like to point out that the troll accounts being made to spam Draconic's name, especially after banning someone, is probably part of the reason why moderation is strict.

Draconic in the last month has had several users mass harass them, for either not supporting Israel or saying they don't mind what users do on their private computers.

This is why moderation is needed. Be normal.

You don't understand anarchism, not a shock either.

But the most interesting part of this is that these type of comments/ criticisms are downvoted by an army of users who apparently don’t mind totalitarianism in a digital space.

I feel that's a bit much. If you feel like you got banned and silenced, nothing stops you from:

• Not interacting with them
• Not being on their instance
• Blocking the mods/admins
• Spinning up your own instance with better rules

Mods can be weird, but it's not totalitarianism. The term uses to describe Hitler and Stalin isn't when you get a comment removed on the internet. Unless you're terminally online and think your comment removed on a niche internet forum is on par with the SS bursting into your home on suspicion that you're Jewish.

Yep, they only ban users who cause issues within the community. Most of the ban logs say that they went into a community they don't like, started things, got banned. Then they get mad that no one wanted to clean up a mess.

Sounds plausible, I suppose.

I don't think you understand yes and

Thanks for proving you don't know what you're talking about, I mean, we already knew, but the warm fuzzy feeling of being indisputably right is always nice

LMAO are you 12? You sure sound like it.

Guess we found the person making all the Draconic_NEO impersonation accounts.

You seem totally unhinged. Get help.

It is interesting to me that the modlog doesn't show who did action. Is that normal? I would have expected to see who the moderator was that performed the mod action, but honestly haven't been involved with moderating a website in basically 15 years, so I don't know what the accepted norms are these days...

I think there are mobile apps that show it (pretty sure a thread here from a few days ago had a screenshot showing as much).

Message from Draconic who did the ban: "[The] ban was a mistake and will be removed."

I'm locking the post now because it's attracting a lot of trolls.
