yeah between this & the patronizing transphobia from the mod saying a majority queer & trans userbase was giving them 'cishet white vibes' that continues to go unaddressed, I hope y'all do some self-crit like carcosa did once this blows over. but I won't stick around to see whether you do because this mod team's been scratched and found seriously wanting when it comes to actually making this a safe space for us trans comrades.
For you and @booty@hexbear.net, since it's easy to miss, this has been added to the post:
Sangria was Alaskaball. Banning themself was a bit. Furthermore, they were unaware that fella was a gendered term, as was I. Yes, they did effectively misgender themselves if you consider fella to be a gendered term. They don't consider it to be. Therefore, non-issue on this point.
For what it's worth, I'm in the mod chat and I didn't learn what was going on until a few minutes ago.
Honestly I'd say your aggression was entirely understandable. I came to the exact same conclusion before the other staff told me what the hell was going on.
The amount of unrepentantly shitty behavior on display from the staff is ridiculous. Nobody should need to be taking a fucking admin to task over misgendering someone.
Im guessing it was an inopportune attempt to blow off some steam during a stressful process, I mean its not like its a huge deal imo. I've only ever had positive feelings towards/ intereactions with Alaskaball, so Imma give em the benefit of the doubt
So a TL:DR of why I decided to ban myself, hold my banned corpse up as a trophy to earn the ire of many wonderful people, accidentally misgender myself - every single one of you that pointed it out you did good btw - and make more people justly more mad, unban myself, admin myself, unadmin myself, then purge myself... Was pretty much a complete bit of me fooling around and learning admin controls while recovering from wonderful food poisoning. Also I wanted to know what it's like being sitebanned.
Now with regards to it being rather mean because nobody, other than carcosa, knew I was hella bullying myself on my own account (spoiler, Carcosa's been out for the day so even the other admins thought there was a rogue admin on the loose), I think I should apologize for that. While I think it's pretty funny that I hoodwinked everyone in the admin and mod circles, I think it was indeed quite unfair to all the really kind people who were distressed that I got assassinated by the evil mod cabal.
That said, I'm pretty much intending on being one of the unmasked faces of the evil admin cabal and try to work on getting things going in a more positive direction.

Understood. No issues there then, and I apologize if my comment on the matter was a lil too aggro.
One concern dealt with... About three dozen to go?

You need to be banned right now. Not this bullshit fucking anonymous coward admin account. Your main account needs to be banned now.

It was a bit, they banned themselves
@Alaskaball@hexbear.net I don't understand the bit of banning yourself and saying you needed a time out or whatever you wrote originally?
Like how was it a bit if 99 percent of people didn't know you and Sangria were the same person?

Yeah I like AlaskaBall, I hope they're not too stressed by all this

Really? You can see their pronoun tags in the screenshot you posted so I don't understand this
