no mods are actually named is this ok to be here?

Ableist mods using slurs shouldn’t be tolerated. If the admins don’t remove that mod why are we federated?
We defederate from Blahaj. Other instances say to themselves “Wow, so all we have to do to keep the Hexbears away is ableism?” and immediately go full Hitler.On one hand, that would prove us right.
On the other hand, we already know that and they won’t learn anything
We could lifeboat comrades and the rest of the lemmyverse becomes
I’ve been seeing people make accounts and switch over, so the mask slipping has prompted some comrades to come over. That’s always nice to see.
Is it worth stickying a post about opsec. If someone signs up to another instance with real details like an email address and bails to here or lemmygrad with the same username, they could be doxxed if they then get on the wrong side of the reactionary instance…
That sounds like a good idea
I’ll post something in lemmygrad. I’m unsure what your process is over here.
Well now what do we have here? Caught in the act and no gold to pay the fine
Least bigoted anti-“tankie”
this and the chaser shit not getting banned are I think the strongest arguments for defederation. I hope our admins/mods communicate this to blahaj.
Have the Blahaj admins made any statements about why this is tolerated? I know Hexbear is almost uniquely vigilant but idk why they’d allow it.
The admins will get to it when they finish their other important duties, like defending NATO
I’ve seen an admin respond to the shitty DM leaking behaviour, but the admins don’t seem interested in confronting the problem mainly.
I haven’t seen anything and mods/admins who are in touch haven’t commented, at least that I’ve seen.
Wwwwwwhaaat? They let chasers into a trans safe space?
When did the word “safe” get redefined to abjectly not safe?

When did the word “safe” get redefined to abjectly not safe?
when the brain worms telling you that you need the approval of cishets eat the part of your brain that gives you sensibilities.
Yeah this is setting off all sorts of alarm bells for me. That’s fucking insane and dangerous and I feel a bit sick knowing they lurk there now.
Fuck that instance, tell anyone left of Biden to jump ship before they end up getting horrid shit in their dms or much worse.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but could someone please explain what’s wrong (/Gen)? It looks like someone posted asking what straight people felt more attracted to (in an odd way, not how I’d phrase that question), and someone gave their answer. Is it that last sentence? Just trying to better understand so I can be a better ally.
it’s that they’re reducing trans people to their genitals and saying they’ll date a man if they have the “right” parts but won’t date a woman who doesn’t. it’s objectifying, essentializing, and gross. trans men are men and trans women are women.
Is it because they’re saying that they are straight that makes it an issue? “I’m only attracted to women, and that includes pre op men” kind of attitude. I can see why that’s wrong, bit surprised at myself for not thinking of that on my own.
Or are you saying that having a genital preference in general is wrong? Would he have been wrong if he said he’d only date cis or post op women?
it’s that trans people aren’t defined by their genitals and trying to express attraction in terms of genitals is fucked from the start. you can’t see anyone’s genitals until you’re in bed with them – if you don’t want to have sex with someone until they’re post op, that’s fine, but saying you aren’t attracted to people with the wrong genitals reverses cause and effect.
This post is fine by general site rules
authoritarian lol
and his response to being asked to remove ableism and take down the DM leak:
What’s ‘authoritarian behaviour’ on a message forum? The only way to do that is by banning people for saying things you don’t like or for any other reason.
Personally, I think that’s a fine use of authority when it’s censoring reactionaries reactionarying. But then, I’m not a mod with that sort of power threatening to ban people for agreeing that I should use my power to ban others for threatening to use my power to ban them.
Would it be authoritarian behaviour to ask for or demand a change of rules to say that people shouldn’t be banned for exhibiting authoritarian behaviour? Is this the type of confusion that libs live with on a daily basis? Now I can empathize. The poor fuckers.
its a joke because that mod, Moss, goes on anti-tankie authoritarian red fash rants yet uses her mod power authoritatively.
Oh hey, i saw that my comment got removed. I wondered what the reason was.
