The problem with that approach is that is is the truth from your perspective only, and nobody is going to learn better if your "explanations" just amount to "you're wrong". From most people's perspective, this is indistinguishable from trolling and I don't think comments like this or this are going to convince them otherwise - someone who deliberately uses language in a very uncommon way should probably not justify it with a dictionary.

"Drag is not using third person" may not be intended to be a complaint, but wouldn't you say that someone who parses the sentence as you using third person misunderstands it?

First/second person neopronouns are not like singular they because they haven't been used for centuries already. Always using plural forms with "they" is something that English speakers learn before formally learning what a plural is (that's why “I need to talk to Sam before they goes to the store” sounds wrong even to someone in primary school), but idiosyncratic redefinitions of grammar will always sound wrong to people who aren't used to them.

If your goal is to communicate effectively, you should avoid insisting on what can be easily (mis)interpreted as performative. If it isn't, then complaining about being misunderstood is trolling.

Part of what might make people think you're trolling is that you seem to use "drag" as a first person neopronoun but conjugate your verbs as if it were third person.

To someone who hasn't seen this before, interpreting it as if you use a nickname to talk about yourself in third person would be the only thing that makes grammatical sense.

Edit: this reminds me a bit of https://www.xkcd.com/169/ - you don't come across as smug, but you're definitely not communicating well

PC-Verkäufe stagnieren ~~trotz~~ wegen KI-Hype

Ich würde mich nicht wundern, wenn es Leute gibt, die gezielt keine Copilot+-PCs kaufen wollen

It probably is illegal in the EU, but I have no idea whether it would be illegal in the UK, too.
