Power Tripping Blahaj Admins ban me for no reason

The power tripping admins at lemmy.blahaj.zone decided to ban me from 196 for zero reason. Citing “Troll” as the one they gave. I understand blahaj has had issues with power-tripping at the admin level in the past over stupid neopronoun debates regarding actual trolls pretending to be fake genders but this is a new low even for them.

They banned me years ago for suggesting in a non-blahaj thread that the word “dude” is not a gendered term in most context.
I apparently got shadow banned almost a year ago from blahaj, for a comment I made on lemmy.world - SDF Chatter

For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter. They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

Announcing that you intend to misgender people is a pretty good reason for us to ban you given the nature of our instance. Notice how at the end of your comment you make it clear you will call someone a “dude” whether they like to be called one or not.

Notice I did not say that. I said that if someone finds an exclamation of the word offensive they should get over it, which I stand by. I did not say whether I would respect their wishes if they explicitly asked me to stop. You’re just assuming I wouldn’t.

EDIT: this is a hypothetical outrage, I demand to be hypothetically reinstated to piefed

You know this platform has threaded comments, you could just add a comment, instead of 15 edits to repeatedly reshape your argument. And why are you banning me, yet coming back with baited breath to see if I’ve responded? How did you even get this job?

Always is the case with transphobes.
