Isn’t this the same dude that insists on referring to himself in the third person as “drag”?
Yeap…
He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.
You forgot the ye olde english guy
I don’t think I’ve run into him yet, do I wanna know, or is it something I should remain blissfully unaware of as long as possible?
I think they don’t post as much anymore but it was one person who kept posting while using the letter thorn (Þ, pronounced th as in the), people kept complaining that it made their posts less legible.
They ended up doubling down and incorporating other archaic letters, and over time they ended up writing all of their posts in very unreadable archaic writing.
That’s fucking hilarious I love him
On the one hand, bringing back letters like thorn could help improve the readability of English by making it more clear what sound each character represents, especially for people learning English as a second language. We only dropped those letters because early movable type sets only included Latin letters, forcing printers to make do with sometimes unintuitive letter combos. But on the other hand, trying to force it by posting on Lemmy isn’t going to accomplish anything.
Not the point, but didn’t they use þ for the th in “three”? And then ð for that in “the”? That’s their usage in Icelandic and I don’t remember them using the letters differently. But my memory isn’t worth much.

himself
Really dude?
Really what?
Dragself
What? What is going on?
there’s a load of accounts from either the same user (probably) or the same few users (possibly) including but not limited to hardlightcereal, dronerights, exocrinous, grail, mindtraveller, dragonfucker whose purpose is to make up mad gimmicks and claim anyone who doesn’t humour them is bigoted against australian soulist otherkin narcissists. it’s very funny
Lol how did you piece all that together? Because that’s exactly what’s going on imo.
i don’t normally pay close attention to usernames but bizarre shit stands out and you can see each account using similar talking points until they get banned or bored and a new one takes over eventually posting the same stuff
I had to google what some of those words mean. Are you telling me that this person means the “dragonfucker” literally? That they identify as a dragon?
it would be a drag to presume to speak for drag but drag will probably drag drag’s self along to explain drag’s drag act in drag’s own time

If dragonfucker doesn’t want to be known as dragonfucker, then they need to make a new account. And if the name dragonfucker is offensive by itself then the user with that name needs to be banned.

You can check dragonfucker is their literal username
I think the mod who removed the comment may not have realized Dragonfucker is the username and not a insult.
That’s not even power tripping, that’s pure stupidity
Not sure what to judge this one to be honest, but seems weird to remove a comment because someone uses another person’s username
They restored the comment. Mistakes happen.
After saying both that they didn’t know if they changed the display name, and that the team is more than aware of that person. Bullshit, you can’t have it both ways.
Thanks, I’ll update the title
Is the mod is saying the offending user changed the comment to reflect the target’s username or that the target changed their username to justify the offenders comment? If it’s the former, there might be something we’re not seeing.
Impossible to say. I have no idea who changed what to match what. Here’s the context, you can see it doesn’t help: https://lemm.ee/comment/16738479
There is nothing wrong with being a dragonfucker. Anyone who perceives that as an insult and not a badge of honor needs help. u.u
You just have remember, most of these guys created subs so they could be mods, not because they wanted a place where a community could coalesce and discuss ideas.
This isn’t even that kind of community, it’s the announcements community for the whole instance.
folks should leave lemmy.world
They trippin harder and harder each day
