goes to a trans meta sub about rule enforcement, breaks said rule immediately, gets banned. seems about right? like do you want people to enforce rules or not? I though this sub was about people who are doing whatever they want regardless of the rules, not for enforcing said rules.

Most people would not have taken “Dragons aren’t real” to be against the rules, but here we are, apparently.

I don’t go to 196 I don’t know their rules

196 is just a community hosted on Blahaj, it’s rule is “post something before you leave” which is why all the posts on it have “rule” in the title.

The “drama” comes from the Blahaj.zone instance

ahh so 196 is a blahaj zone community then? then is has to follow general blahaj zone rules right?

Yes, however bans in question were handed out by instance admins iirc

then I don’t get what the problem is, the admins make the rules for their instance, communities in those instances follow those rules, if not they can move to other instances, see the star trek communities for examples. the admins are making a hard stance on this issue and have the right to enforce the rules they state they will enforce.

People question the validity of those rules, to my understanding that’s where the drama begun. There’s an individual who refers to themselves with other pronouns than “I” (ex. they don’t say “I went elsewhere” but “word went elsewhere”) and people think it’s a troll.

neopronouns have been a issue of discussion for a long time on blahaj zone. multiple people have been caused discussions over the history of the instance, many discussions exactly like the earlier one. the admin said themselves that the recent post was not spurred by any incidents or individuals in particular, and the instance has always moderated in this way, long before this incident. it has repeatedly been stated that neopronouns are the norm, accepted, and protected on blahaj zone. most of the people who are complaining are not from blahaj zone anyways.
