Fair.

I hope that the Blahaj admins hold queer people as more important than this behaviour and take action, so that we can federate again, I actually like some of their content. I think they will, if their previous statements are anything to go by, but we will see from this what their real priorities are.

If I were adminning Blahaj I would purge the problematic 196 mod and replace them, as well as adding several significantly better mods to that team. This isn't complicated to resolve without losing the users, the mandate for removing a problematic mod like this is going to be very high. Exert some authority.

As soon as I seen the [email protected] thread, blahaj had to go. Like every comrade in that thread was offended.

so am i missing something or are the blahaj zone admins just letting that c/196 moderator go clout-drunk with power & fuck the vibes of their whole site lmao

From the blahaj 196 list of bannable things:

-saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account

That was edited to

-saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account

I hope that this issue will be resolved in the future by the admins of blahaj.zone, they should cut that threat to their own userbase loose ASAP and instead work on actively onboarding trans subreddits instead of that place infested with chaser pests. I would love to see a bigger, unified queer community on lemmy and it hurts me that you had to make this decision, but at the same time i fully, 100% agree that with c/196 around, we couldn't maintain the safe space that this site has been since briefly after its inception when we purged the r/stupidpol crowd to make this more inclusive to our already large queer userbase. There's a lot of people who've helped me throughout my transition, but that list wouldn't be complete without those of you who made this the place where i could first talk about my gender exploration and experiment with my pronouns. We all owe it to our community to place safety before the desire to dunk on some of the most insufferable libs in the entire fediverse.

Incredibly based. Civility is a two way street, and I didn't like how we were bowing and scraping to get them to do us the favor of remaining federated. Hopefully some of their cooler users will migrate over

I also wish their Anarcho-Bidenist mod/admin team a very

Ada's response is just...

Edit: The ableist mod is still a mod of 196. Nice one, protecting racist people.

Yep the instance with a slur filter is filled with slurs apparently

The amount of reactionary content from the anti-tankie crowd is out of control on that instance. That's beyond a meaningless term and they have to be aware of it at this point. There's no one more openly authoritarian about the most heinous shit than these anti-tankie fascists.
