It made me so damn happy to see it.
Plus, my respect for everyone involved went higher than before.
Both the feddit admins for working things out this quickly, and Ada for showing that she’s the kind of admin that will fight tooth and nail for her instance and the people on it, but not hold grudges.
Drag apologised to Ada but she won’t unban drag :(. Drag was genuinely sorry. Misunderstood the situation, learned from the mistake.
I don’t know that that’s a grudge, but I understand it doesn’t feel good.
Fwiw, I enjoy having you around.
The reason why drag misunderstood the situation is because Ada broke a promise. Drag thought she kept it because drag trusted her. She thought drag was trying to make her look bad by proving she lied. But… drag couldn’t know the promise was broken, because it was to have a conversation in private messages. Drag thought the third party involved was lying that Ada didn’t do it. Drag was trying to prove them wrong by showing the promise. Drag didn’t know that proving Ada made a promise would make her look bad.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you referring to yourself in the third person? Is this supposed to be cute?
They’ve done it on all the comments I’ve seen from them, I cringe hard every time.
You cringe when people use language differently than you?
People tend to cringe at weirdos who try to impose their incredibly niche language choices onto others
Like that guy who insisted on speaking exclusively in older English spellings (and was, like drag, a massive troll that was successful for a shockingly long time)
No, drag is referring to dragself in first person using person-independent pronouns.
I get it. It’s never a pleasant thing to have a misunderstanding come to the worse end of possible outcomes. Given enough time, I hope that it can turn back around and resolve into a mutually acceptable and friendly outcome.
Hey, it took me months to wrap my head around things and figure out my own internal quirks, and we didn’t have any kind of event to make either of us question trust. It might take longer, even much longer, but I still don’t think there was any ill intent on either side, so it should work out eventually. Give it time, stay optimistic.
Thank you, but drag thinks you’re wrong. Drag doesn’t think Ada is the forgiving type. The mistake drag made that lead to getting banned was trusting Ada would keep her promise. Like drag said, drag learned from it. No more trusting Ada.
Drag recognises that’s not a good foundation for reconciliation. But that’s what it feels like Ada was trying to teach drag with the ban. How else is drag supposed to interpret that?
Context?
I’m banned from both I think
I’m commenting so I can look into why later because there’s not a lot of m@teys who’d be proud of that.
Lmao DW I’m not transphobic.
Still don’t really like instances pressuring other instances over things. I don’t really know why federation with blahaj.zone is necessary. If they want to have a curated platform, let them. Although wouldn’t it have been possible for blahaj to ban the user they were taking issue with from their instance themselves? The whole case seems confusing to me
Hopefully it doesn’t take the threat of defederation to make janitors do their jobs in the future.
Between blahaj banning dissenters and feddit being transphobic it’s on us the users to keep them all in line.
