That's it.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

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 @9bananas@lemmy.world 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.
Quit lying. You've already been told to stop harassing drag.
yo, read my comment again.
it wasn't specifically about the ban drag received:
my comment was only in reference to the mass bans of any remotely positive, or even just neutral (and my case not even directly connected) comment about luigi...
it has nothing to do with any ableist or bigoted shit, just about the ridiculous zealotry by the .world mods specifically about "promoting violence" and making up rules on the spot, on violation of the .world ToS and rules of conduct, which explicitly state that ban should always cite the rule being broken.
i know exactly nothing about drags behavior that led to their ban, but since i do know how trigger happy .world mods are about luigi comments and posts, i made the assumption that it was just that.
thank you for providing the relevant context.
that said, please keep in mind that my comment is not in support of drag and their behavior, and is instead solely a criticism of the general mod behavior on .world and asklemmy specifically.
honestly shouldn't be surprised, the ask[thing] communities tend to have overzealous moderation on any platform...
oops! i absolutely read and appreciated your comment before commenting but maybe i didn’t make it clear that i don’t have any ill will toward you at all and just wanted to loop you in. i do apologize if me ccing you caused any sense of abrasion—wasn’t intentional at all if so!
just making sure that history doesn’t get rewritten :)
ah, that's what it was!
i was pretty confused by the cc, thought i got caught in some drama there!
all good, thanks for the clarification!
