No TLDR, you're gonna have to do some reading.
So Its a regular day on the OKDS. I changed my name to ulwasdf wbieuglasf or whatever the hell it was.
Its all well and good till I uh, make the mistake of pinging multiple people three times because they all had the same username as a joke.
Nobody responded negatively too it, and it was mostly overlooked. But along those people I pinged, was tourist vader.
And yes, I obviously shouldn't have pinged those people Im not pissed about that.
So Tourist vader decides he needs to set the server straight, and he warns me and says If I do it one more time he'll mute me/ban me.
Which was deserved.
I reply with, "o k"
and a gif saying, 'I will gladly do so'
Tourist responds with, "unfunny gif"
I respond with didn't ask"
This continues till I am accused of trolling and Tourist sends a clown emoji.
Me Realizing the type of person who Tourist Vader is decides to stop, so it would have all been well and good right? I would've walked away with a warning and nobody has to get angry.
Oh god.
So I respond, "Real talk, (something along the lines of, I dont actually mean what Im saying.)"
THIS IS THE PART IM PISSED ABOUT.
Tourist responds that Im continuing to troll and not making sense, calling me names, clown emoji and what not. Im actually trying to communicate though.
I clarify that Im being genuine, but he continues.
Then in my mind I think, maybe Tourist is trying to troll me back, so I say, "The Trollee has become the Troller"
But I guess Tourist Vader and I aren't speaking the same language so he responds saying Im a troller and should stop.
Then I follow up with a post clarifying that Im kidding.
Then Tourist Vader says that Im denying that I broke rules, even though I never said that.
BECUASE I DID BREAK RULES, BUT HE LEFT ME OFF THE HOOK AND WARNED ME, AND I COMPLIED.
I say, that infact I never said that and that Im being genuine.
He just responds with the same thing that Im trolling and saying random things.
Then he qoutes my "The Trollee has become the Troller" and says, "This is all I need, thankyou." AND MUTES ME FOR A WHOLE FRICKING DAY. Not a timeout, no a whole day. (And ofcourse while reminding me to touch grass and see friends. Its the Pandemic and school is out today. KoGaMa is my largest community and most of the people I am friends with or talk to are on the OKDS.
He ofcourse starts talking behind my back.
I started playing with the reactions, and Discord auto banned me for a few hours (Which was justified, but I also didn't know thats how it worked.
Fully honest I wanted to frame it different because it sounded so pathetic but I also didn't want to be a liar.
THE RANT
Moderation (Literally just Tourist Vader Right Now) has not respect for when someone who is 'trolling' then decides to be genuine.
The Hypocrisy showcased is also insulting. When I 'troll' people I try to clarify that I dont actually mean it. Tourist Vader, He means it, He'll respond to a genuine statement with clown face + unfunny and then rally everyone else on the server to call you names when you dont actually mean it. He cant tell the borders between comedy, sarcasm, and genuine.
Whenever I try to be genuine with people on the OKDS I always get the response of a clown face (And a Boar face if its Felix/Abbadon)
Abbadon if you see this, I dont actually mean it when I call you Abandon, I originally just did it because I was tired of typing it and it was changed because of auto-correct.
Whenever I make a statement without prior knowledge of an event Im ridiculed even though nobody told me it had previously happened (such/such event/moderation)
Most of the people who generally find in issue with me, instead of trying to educate me how to be a better person in their lens call me names and try to make me look bad while themselves probably being wrong.
I think the root of toxicity in the OKDS is how dedicated people are to making fools of other people they disagree with, making an example out of them.
During the First Ban wave, the OKDS laughed at people who thought they genuinely did nothing wrong, and instead of providing them guidance they fueled their anger which eventually made the OKDS and its most toxic members prime targets for trolling and hacking.
Eventually most of the same people who ridiculed those in the first ban wave would come to despise the developers responsible for it themselves.
Yet they have the audacity to claim that I am toxic, offensive, etc.
Most of the people there dont know me in the slightest bit, I hide much of my identity and yet whenever I say something not even remotely annoying they respond with calling me unfunny, saying Im uninteresting, retarded, a troller, a rule breaker. And Even though I dont care about most of those titles, it hurts because people who you think you like to talk too, and generally seem like nice people badmouth you behind your back. Tourist Vader cares more about if someone uses 1 word in polish than how friendly the OKDS is to new people.
The Hypocrisy is even more evident when you look at how moderation acts around their friends

Trolling is only acceptable if the Mod knows you are trolling, but not because you clarified it, but because they've known you for a long time.
And How Even if you didnt break any rules or receive any warnings you can get called out because you posted in caps, or disagreed with a moderator/responded in a sarcastic remark.
prnt.sc/JUa4dHsqtsem <
People who I've never talked to in years will all call me out at the same time for harassment, being annoying, minor offenses.
When I say that they would attack me for an apology, the say they would accept as genuine, but when I clarify I didn't mean to hurt anyone they form a mob and try to make me look bad to everyone else.
I guess openness isn't an OKDS value anymore, its all about enforcing rules some didn't break or muting them for talking back/reasoning for a punishment. This is by far one of the most toxic communities, and It pains me that it surrounds the game that I love and have dedicated thousands of hours to, not only to my own enjoyment but in contributing to others projects as well.
I would've accepted a warning, maybe even a timeout for a few minutes. Instead Moderation wants to silence me for a day, and by the time its over, I cant defend myself.
everytime I chat on the OKDS I feel there is a pile of people waiting to respond to anything I say with a clown emoji, or complain that Im a jerk even though I barely ever talk to them. People who have known me for quite some time and Im open about who I actually am like understand my actual attitude when I talk and that its all fun. But please, Tourist Vader and everyone else on the discord can continue crying about how Tokeeto was playing honiepop for 8 hours on Steam and how devs have given up while bashing me for even defending anyone who makes a controversial game, posting an unfunny gif twice in the time period of 10 minutes, or defending myself.
You all can go shove your boar emojis and clown emojis up your holes because you guys are fake as hell.
But please in the comments enlighten me how this whole time I am denying to my rule breaking, or justifying it, even though I owned up to it and then got muted for defending myself when I was accused of denying it.
Please enlighten me as to how I am a jerk who reposts unfunny gifs everywhere and makes (insert)phobic jokes.
Atleast I dont talk about other people behind my back and have a respect for peoples privacy and dont share when they do an oopsie.
Atleast I dont discriminate against new members of the OKDS because you dont know every single personal detail about them and their personality.
Atleast I dont call people edgy and label, say they need to touch grass when they respond back to your comment accusing them of something or taking them down.
Atleast I'm a real friend who doesn't snoop through everything their doing. And while sometimes I may not respect my friends boundaries as much as they'd like, I dont mean it, and I'll stand up for them when people attack them.
Cheers, TTTTTas.
