completely nuking like a dozen trans women's accounts after tumblr user predstrogen got banned so hard every single image she ever posted got deleted (which isn't how tumblr bans work), and claiming the og ban was because of threats towards him. the one threat he could point to was this

he said tumblr would work with the fbi to investigate this shit

link to his statement. he originally misgendered her, then corrected himself to degender her, then finally used corrected himself to use her actual pronouns

Why do we wrongly have a transphobe reputation? We did have an external contract moderator last year that was making transphobic moderation

If your website has a transphobe reputation because it did transphobic things, can you really say you wrongly have that reputation?

he literally admits in the post that the website has had transphobic moderation policies as recently as last year! that's not wrongful! he doesn't even mention that the website settled when it was sued for transphobic moderation policies back in 2022 as well. tumblr's reputation as transphobic is hard earned

Somehow, the prevalence of SS members in our organization has given rise to the incorrect impression that we are a Nazi organization.

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
