It always had such interesting stuff to say. It was banned recently. I think it should be unbanned and allowed back. It had such interesting perspectives on neurodiversity.

    I paid attention to DroneRights from the time its first comment hit the modlog, and I've come to the opposite conclusion on it. To lead with it, I think that the owner of the DroneRights account may also be the owner of FuckYourselfEndless

    FYE was a high-concept shitposter with a problematic record, banned a couple of days before DR showed up. Anyway, I didn't have any trouble accepting its explanation that "drone" wasn't meant as "UAV". I'm not a complete stranger to plural identities or otherkin, and I found its perspective on narcissism interesting but cryptic

    I did find it sus when it brought up and took umbridge with the idea that a UAVgender person would be met with hostility, because the reasons for that would be so obvious to anyone who's paid attention to popular transphobia. More sus still, when it commented on a gaming post to say that its planekin partner has a crush on the digital airplane in question

    Once it got deep into replying to comments on its materialism thread, it got a lot uglier. Particularly, it started framing trans identities as imposing a moral imperitive to perceive them in a way that contradicts reality

    ETA since I'm getting specific, here's what I'm talking about with the last part:

    And the bottom line is: people who put reality above feelings are cruel to trans people.

      Regarding this bit at least it was getting into struggle sessions on blahaj and lemm.ee 14 days ago and FYE was only banned 13 days ago so it's not a perfect match
