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.
Yeap....
He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.
You forgot the ye olde english guy
I don’t think I’ve run into him yet, do I wanna know, or is it something I should remain blissfully unaware of as long as possible?
I think they don't post as much anymore but it was one person who kept posting while using the letter thorn (Þ, pronounced th as in the), people kept complaining that it made their posts less legible.
They ended up doubling down and incorporating other archaic letters, and over time they ended up writing all of their posts in very unreadable archaic writing.
Okay, But thats actually cool
No it was really annoying
Oh I saw that guy! Can confirm it was annoying, but I like having a few eccentric annoying people on here. They're like mini celebrities.

Not the point, but didn't they use þ for the th in "three"? And then ð for that in "the"? That's their usage in Icelandic and I don't remember them using the letters differently. But my memory isn't worth much.
The person in question was very thorough about reviving older spelling conventions. I asked him about it once and he gave me a reply written in what he considered right. It was a LOT. Still, I'm impressed with his commitment to the bit.

“You know what? I’m just gonna make it impossible to understand a thing I say. That’ll show you all!”
On the one hand, bringing back letters like thorn could help improve the readability of English by making it more clear what sound each character represents, especially for people learning English as a second language. We only dropped those letters because early movable type sets only included Latin letters, forcing printers to make do with sometimes unintuitive letter combos. But on the other hand, trying to force it by posting on Lemmy isn't going to accomplish anything.
People can't be bothered with to/too, there/their/they're, or lose/loose. You want them to learn another letter?

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

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.
