It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Im glad we defederated from blahaj, they are one of the worst lemmy instances for sure, in their post about defederating programingdev most users were ok with transphobia if they keep being federated with other instances
Jfc it's just a whole thread of "pleeeease don't defederate over transphobia!!"
That site is just bursting at the seems with
The admin is pretty good and is pretty dedicated to actually making a trans safe space but a lot of the new users that came in with 196 are complete pick mes who'll side with transphobes as long as they're anti tankie. It's more of a very loud minority thing than anything.
Isn't this exactly what she did with the 196 mod?
I can't call her dedicated given how much she's allowed things to fester.
Imo she's been limited a lot by what she can do in regards to the majority of is the instance being primarily loyal to the anti communism chaser comm. Imo the best thing for her to do would be to remove c/196 but that would also involve alienating most of the users on the instance
So.... She does all this work running the site, and would rather have a large userbase that is transphobic than a smaller userbase that isn't.
What's the point of having a site you own and run if you have to compromise on principles, just so people use your site? So strange.
the best time to nip it in the bud was when they brought 196 over. the second best time is now. either she rips the bandaid off or she's going to wind up with a nazi bar.
