It’s a broader disagreement that’s been simmering for a while. The 196 mods say that the Drag controversy is unrelated, as Dragonfucker had been banned from 196 long before for unrelated reasons.
The spat is unrelated to pronouns or neopronouns, according to the 196 mods. It has to do with the Blahaj admins and the 196 mods disagreeing on moderation behavior for the community, and the 196 mods not wanting to have their own moderation decisions reversed or second-guessed by admins if there wasn’t a rule violation in how the 196 mods handled moderation.
Thanks for these responses. I hope everyone reaches a satisfactory resolution to this. I don’t like to see communities or instances infighting, but I suppose it’s just part of us growing as a platform.
I suppose that’s dependent on what you want to look at. I still find the platform wholly engaging, and overall more diverse, though I feel the front page has become a bit dominated by polarizing opinions, but we do feel to be on a crappy slice of our timeline right now, so I can’t totally fault people for that.
This particular scenario is a little inappropriate to say this is us maturing as a platform, but it’s definitely…a thing that is happening…

Although…this is some sort of spat relating to pronouns, and as I recall, isn’t that guy’s thing referring to himself using the third person?

Home brew drama is driving genuine engagement…
Let them fight, bring some popcorn!
At the end of the day, they ain’t leaving fedi so it is win win
I mean, it has drug me into it despite me having them hidden in my feed, so it’s effective.
Not the type of things I usually look for, but I know many do enjoy it.
Unfortunately, we’re not even growing

Then you were right 🙂
That user claims they are enunciating neopronouns, but yes, the inconsistent third person syntax fucks it all up
