  • Draconic NEO mods a lot of dbzer0 and pawb.social communities, and every time he bans someone, he bans them on ALL of his communities. That’s the cause of the pawb.social data.

    And everyone who complains about him turns out to be a transphobe. Right after they make a yepowertrippinbastards post with a valid grievance, they suddenly pivot to making tons of alt accounts to harass him with transphobic hate speech for no reason. It’s super convenient for him that all his critics turn out to be transphobes. I guess he’s a good guy after all, since all of those random people with valid complaints turned out to be hateful lunatics.


  • Yeah I looked into this a while ago and it’s a concerning pattern. Every single time someone makes a post on YPTB about one particular dbzer0 mod, it seems as if they then go on to make ten alt accounts to harass him with transphobia. Lots of different accounts with a prior history, just pivoting to transphobic harassment right after they express a problem with his moderation. I gotta tell you, whoever is attacking that mod is fucking up if their intent is to hurt him, because he gets tons of sympathy and good PR about the whole thing. Lots of people go from being neutral to being on his side, because everyone who criticizes him suddenly turns out to be a transphobe. It’s really strange.

    Yes, I agree that most users were unaware, but most users also follow the leader-y types who have the strong opinions. Those three repost farmers worked together to move all the content over, and anyone who investigated was given the post with the transphobia claim as a reason. This locked in the network effect that made most people move over to Ten Forward, with little outcry.

    ST.W did have legitimate moderation problems, but the problems with the Ten Forward clique are much worse.
