The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"
~~how about you leave our instance with your spam community~~ (that happens to be the only place on blahaj lemmy I've seen blatant transphobia be posted)
Edit: remembered the block button exists, also i haven't seen transphobia on 196 since Ada's scolding a few weeks ago
If you see any transphobia pls report it
196 on reddit was full of chasers and Va*shites so it's entirely unsurprising.
