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.
Isn’t this the same dude that insists on referring to himself in the third person as “drag”?
Indeed it is, they were banned from this instance for trolling and harassment, and were also permabanned from pawb.social for the same reason. They literally incited harassment towards me, made an alt and posted insanely disgusting content in a community with the purpose to defame me. Even sent me porn in my DMs, utterly disgusting piece of shit.
This is one of the people who needs to be banned everywhere (homeserver ban) sooner rather than later.
I think Dragon Rider is the drag person. Dragonfucker is someone else.
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
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.
My understanding was that:
The comment called "dragonrider" "dragonfucker" as an insult.
I tried to politely ask the OP to remove that one word from an otherwise good comment while taking no mod actions.
After a day of no response (and other activity from OP), drag changed their name to reflect the insult and poke at me for not taking real action against the personal attack.
I then removed the comment. Trying to ignore drag poking and treat them fairly where it was warranted.My understanding was wrong. (According to users who I'm inclined to believe.)
Eh, for what it's worth, those actions make sense to me and seem like going the extra mile to ensure the space ain't toxic to nobody (or dragon).
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
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.
I'm on the Community Team for LW. A large part of my effort (in particular) has been to actively recruit mods who haven't asked for the position.
One reason is exactly what you just said. Those most inclined to rule are generally least suited. (Thanks, Douglas Adams.)
Another is that I've actively tried to avoid the Reddit supermod situation, where ten people share moderation of every important Reddit sub. You'll notice that we generally have a different set of moderators for each of our largest subs. (Admins don't count because they don't/can't really mod. Admins see reports for the whole instance.)
That, of course, has caused other issues. One is that our communities tend to be less consistent than subreddits. You can view this as a good or bad thing, but we're generally judged as an instance by the most egregious actions of the most egregious community. And we're all new to this and learning.
Admins/Community Team also are walking a fine line. It's natural when you're drafted/appointed as a mod to want to do your job. I've been regularly advising mods to take a lighter hand in moderation, but we're also trying to avoid watching over every decision they make. They have some leeway in what they do.
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
CLM, this mod probably had no idea that this was their username. Likely why they immediately reversed their action and restored the comment after realizing their mistake.
They restored it after people called them out when those people saw this post
Comm validation!
folks should leave lemmy.world
They trippin harder and harder each day
I've been struggling to find another instance that ticks all the boxes
-allows NSFW
-doesnt censor swear words
-allows downvotes
-isnt an embarrassing name (looking at you sh.it.just.works)
-defederated from hexbear and other troll instances
-doesnt cave to elitist interests (.world has now fucked this up)
-active enough to have a good sized feed of communities
I think kbin.earth matches all of that, but I mainly stay on /all not local so I don’t actually know.
We damn sure as shit can say fuck though you sumbitch
If you want a US based-instance, https://discuss.online blocks hexbear and lemmygrad
If you want a non US instance, https://sopuli.xyz blocks hexbear and lemmygrad
Both are large enough to address your last point.
-active enough to have a good sized feed of communities
Personally I don't think this one matters so long as it federates content elsewhere in a timely manner. Pay close attention to uptime stats on the Fediverse Explorer. Sort by Active Users for best results - and it looks like lemmy.ca is another good option, defederating from Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml.
-isnt an embarrassing name (looking at you sh.it.just.works)
You need to lower your standards at least a little bit because sh.itjust.works is probably one of the better servers out there. Mainly because their philosophy is the same as their namesake, which is almost certainly why they named themselves that. I think most people like it when Shit Just Works, and aren't really fans of the jank, which is what a lot of the earlier days of Lemmy during the Reddit migration were like.
clearly CLM
That’s a funny one 😆
