Other day I made a post about transphobia in the Fediverse and I crossposted to several communities, one of them was [email protected]. It seems the post I made attracted the attention of the mod and he decided to come over to this community and post transphobia apologia here. He was banned shortly afterwards. I would encourage people here to avoid that community, and any other communities he moderates. Since as a moderator he can easily exercise his power to silence dissenting views and to intimidate others. It’s not best to participate there.
I don’t know of many good ones that could be used instead, perhaps someone could start a fediverse community on lemmy.blahaj.zone, but that’s beside the point of the post. Main point is to share this information with the community so you can avoid using a community run by a known transphobe.
Hey, you’re new to lemmy.
Some advice.
It’s one thing to point out bad acts, it’s another to make recommendations. You’re here saying to use .ml, and if that’s your opinion, that’s fine. But you’ve missed a lot if you’re making that recommendation based on mods/admins stances on trans issues and rights.
You simply haven’t had this account long enough to be making recommendations at all tbh, but you really gotta do your research before doing so. Lemmy.ml, for all the good it has, is also run by some people that have a track record om trans rights that’s dubious to some degree or another. Even if the fediverse C/ is moderated by someone that isn’t dubious, it’s still a strange recommendation to be making here.
You do you, but you’re likely to end up mixed in drama if you keep diving in head first without due diligence.
