I was promoting Lemmy in the place that I was supposed to.

    Drag got permabanned on the first offence on the new 196 for telling a suicidal person that it’s better to commit luigi than commit suicide. They don’t like it when you promote violence against neo-nazis and ceos on that community, even if you’re doing it to give someone a reason not to die.

      For the record the user was also disabled and their disability played directly into drag’s heinous encouragement. This ableist violent rhetoric was deemed inappropriate both by 196 community mods and Blahaj admins for different yet related reasons. That behavior was violent, triggering, and absolutely unacceptable for any instance and community that values minority or oppressed groups even a little.

      This is following the user’s real history of similar suicide encouragement in other communities.

      cc @[email protected] because I am just sick of this user getting to spread lies and twisted truths about a community whose mods’ only sin is having basic empathy.

          Any account that spreads lies about allies, empathetic leaders, and people I care about, I will call out. If Drag feels harassed by me straightforwardly repeating the truth from the modlog in relevant contexts, Drag is more than free to block me. Encouraging self-harm in an ableist way was deemed unacceptable by both 196 community mods and Blahaj admins independently. That decision wasn’t about silencing anyone—it was about maintaining a safe space for marginalized people.
