If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

That's not a right, that's a privilege, and one that is accorded by this community. Hence, this post, and hopefully revoked ASAP, it seems.
No, it's a right called ownership. The shit is his. Just leave him in the dust. Don't give him the power.
I mean, ultimately, yea. He's not the only admin (and the second most senior AFAICT), and creating a relationship between users and admins/mods is a worthwhile activity. Just walking away whenever mods do something excessive (which is a thing, they're human, it's always going to happen) is too passive and destructive.
Walking away is what I do. My attitude is that I'm what's good and if they don't want it, they can't have me.
I hear you and that's fair.
Part of my position here is informed by my being a mod of my own community. Before I started it I made sure I was willing to walk away and accept criticism from the members of the community (and posted to this effect too). It's something that is important I think.
Yeah it's definitely worth saying something first. Can't just walk away leaving reasons go silent.
That's some defeatist bullshit, friend. Do better.
