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.

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml @JoeBidet@lemmy.ml @cypherphunks

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck. I'm saying you can't police this guy's server. He does that. You literally physically cannot. Moving away isn't damaging to you. It's damaging to him. These instances live off the community just like Reddit.

Moving away isn’t damaging to you. It’s damaging to him.

Moving can always damage a community. And as I said in my dot points, I think there are real grounds for calling this out as inconsistent with stated rules. The fediverse is about grassroots organisation, not just decentralisation ... just walking away is arguably too passive, especially when there are grounds to discuss what's going on.

Okay, but your discussion isn't gonna change anything.

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hear you and you may very well be right. We can hope I guess and find it important to try.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I agree with that. No sense in walking away without trying to address it first.
