UPDATE: ADMIN STATEMENT IN COMMENTS
Leadership of Lemmy has dug in their heels and shown that they will be slow to remove overt homophobia, sexism, and transphobia on this platform. Administration will spend hours or days of effort defending these people to justify a ban that would be instant on other platforms.
You are not safe here. I recommend migrating to either Lemmygrad.ml or Hexbear.net (Hexbear being much less sectarian but the people on Lemmygrad are very cool 😎). Please take care out there. Fuck the patriarchy! Trans rights are human rights! ✊

Absolutely agree. Like I said on the other thread, we don't need to vet everyone by actively hunting down their external profiles (more because it's a ton of work for the admins and Lemmy is pseudoanonymous so it would be really hard), but if someone makes any of their other profiles known on their Lemmy account and especially if they're advertising it, we should never be willfully blind to that in our moderation decisions.
For the speed of moderation thing, I hope I can continue to mod as I see fit based on the rules, and if anyone think it's an overstep, they should message me. I'm terminally online so I see most of the reports first, and sometimes I hold off on removing them just because I'm worried that you guys will get mad. Like, I hope I'm not getting strikes and risking being kicked off the admin team.
