blahaj instance
I made a post on the trans blahaj comm about how the mega here got 3k comments and it was very highly upvoted, of course it attracted a ton of transphobic trolls (who likely aren't trans, shocker) that don't get removed and Ada is talking about how its cool and good to include fascist and exclusionary trans people in the comments because Hexbear is mean to them, oh and also being a socialist trans person is fringe, apparently. New to me!Honestly 50/50 on just using the account I made here way back but haven't really used. I like checking in on everyone but it seems that all the other LGBT spots on fedi are ghost towns or filled with clowns. Occasionally theres like, one small thread on blahaj thats good.
the one about the blue shark
it was actually a good thing we defederated from them, and this is one of the reasons. if you cant keep your trans instance free from chasers and transphobes (but i repeat myself) then what the actual fuck are you even doing?spoiler
At this point it honestly feels like they're trying their hardest to drive trans people away from the fediverse. Lie about the largest trans instance, say you are the most supportive trans instance because you let in nazi and racist trans people and try not to hurt their feelings, then you let chasers, transphobes, and trolls harass all the people that get lured there via being the default lgbt place on some app.spoiler
it's sad how we have the best place for trans people on the internet and one of the worst right on the same platform, technically.ikea plushie
Reading through that it's wild how quickly Ada goes to bat against hexbear but staunchly defends actual wreckers like mindtraveler who doesn't even post on blahaj outside of the drama surrounding them.
She keeps bringing up the dunk tank but it reads like she's actually just making things up at this point. The dunk tank explicitly has a rule now to not target small users with low engagement. And a rule to not specifically target other instance admins and mods.
Hell, looking through the first ten pages of the top posts in the last year
The posts involving lemmy users that aren't explicitly disagreeing with our politics are:
10 anti-hexbear posters
2 posts saying ukranians dying is a good thing actually
1 both sides argument about nazis
1 person saying poor people can't be on the internet
1 post about .world defedding with lemmygrad
1 post about misinformation regarding north/south korea
1 pseudo intellectual nerd crying about emojis
1 example of ableism from 196 mods
1 person disagreeing with a lemmy dev's politics on a community dedicated to harassing lemmygrad posters.
1 loser coming up with their own definition of socialism
1 temporarily embarrassed millionaire saying bees don't make money actually
of these there are 3 people who may be trans/from blahaj. Those three are someone who is anti-hexbear, someone who is anti-hexbear and thinks we don't actually have trans users, and the 196 mod directing ableism towards one of our admins.
the posts that are explicitly lemmy posters disagreeing with our politics are:
1 pro nato poster
1 person crying about communists
1 person crying after being told to post hog
1 person just being anti-hexbear again but with politics
and 1 trans no steppy snake flag
Of these 5, only 1 is from a trans user/blahaj.
seeing ada react like this only strengthens my resolve to leave that place.
This mf thinks "Blair White is a fascist who should kill herself" is transphobic.
It takes all kinds!
Petition to start referring to mindtraveler as either "midtraveler" or "mindgoblin" /hj
Hey, no goblin shaming, my kind don't deserve this slander
dronie works as both fullthroated support for biden and the democrats and because this a rebranded dronerights account
The water here is quite nice. Migrated over from lemm.ee less than a month ago and am much happier with my relationship with social media in general.
And love all of the support I find in this thread in particular. So much in fact I got teared up just saying that.
I just read through that thread and the responses from ada in particular are so embarrassing
supporting trans comrades != shielding all trans users from any criticism
And this is true even of lib spaces, like you cannot just have a "nobody gets comments removed or account bans" rule for all trans people.
spoiler
This is very funny.
But also yea you should switch, what would you even miss?
I have considered making an account so many times on there, but every time it's like, lol. lmao even.
It is also a fraction as active as bearsite
I never heard anything good about blahaj so when I was looking for a space for my wife and I hexbear was the only one that seemed to align with our values.
