The yaelokre server aka orches
Ableism and refusal to listen to their community
Now I'm sure you must of heard about yaelokre beforehand however if you're not familiar, it is an artists name, they make songs and videos on tiktok and are well known for their harpy hair song
Now I want to note that I'm not seeking to cancel yaelokre, in fact I am sure that it was only the mods that were being ableist, however don't quote me on that as I'm not 100% sure how involved yaelokre themselves was in the server as they mentioned they were "banned from moderating" whatever the hell that means lmao
With that being said let's talk about it
I first joined the server seeking to learn the lore and make friends, all was well until me and a bunch of other systems started noticing that the community seemed to ignore those who proxied using pk, systems had to beg the mods to add a rule stating what systems were and what pk was so that the community knew we weren't bots, however most singlets did not read the rules
There was multiple times me and my friends saw the difference in how we were treated depending on if we proxied or not
In these images the community started making fun of this acc for using neopronouns, I tried to tell the community that making fun of neopronouns was fucked up, whether or not the acc was satire
You can see the differences between proxying and not proxying, I have many other screenshots like this where I compared with pk to no pk
After stating this I got muted for 24 hours and all the people making fun of neos got to talk on
Me and my friends tried multiple times to tell their modmail bot (a bot for making reports) about things that happened, the most they did was warn people, they barely cared what the members did unless someone complained about it to modmail, they relied on other people to do THEIR job, I watched multiple people break the rules without receiving punishment
After a while most people got blocked from modmail including myself
the mods excuse for all of this was "we have 8 mods and 25k people to watch" while I understand if you were struggling to hire mods however they refused to open mod applications and still complained about how understaffed they were, the community including me tried multiple times to ask them about mod applications but those tickets/requests we're ignored/deleted
Most of the in server drama started out due to singlets and even some fellow systems treating fictives as their source and bringing up source out of nowhere
After a while the mods exposed themselves as "endo neutral" this got many systems myself included very upset as the mods kept stating "we don't want to invalidate anyones trauma" and even after multiple people explained why mods are ableist and you can't invalidate someone's trauma if they dont have any in the first place they still didn't listen
They also allowed IRLS and fictionkins to use pk which is feeding into delusions and ableist
The mods kept saying "we can't validate who's an endo though" but the community kept telling them that most endos will wear the label loud and proud so there's their solution, but they still didn't listen
After the chat got really upset (for good reasons) they ended up straight up deleting the server instead of just simply listening to disabled people and the rest of their community
There were some people who kept kissing the mods feet saying shit like "oh but it's a big server" "oh they didn't have to make the server" and "your lucky the even added pk" as if that's an excuse for the shit they pulled on me and my friends
I'm just tired of singlets thinking that they have any right to speak on system topics, and in tired of watching fellow systems getting treated like shit for just existing
Mods, you never should've made that server if you couldn't handle a large server, you knew how big the fandom was getting and yet you complained about being understaffed when that is your own fault
