I think it’s a pretty huge red flag though that it’s a brand new “transracial woke-free” account that immediately creates this community and starts using it to link fascist rags and nothing else
I think it’s a bit strange that an account less than 24 hours old has made over a dozen posts and less than half that amount of comments. I’m not going to jump to the assumption that it’s a bot but i do think it’s a bit rude. When you are new to a community you should maybe first engage with that community for a while as a commenter, maybe even just passively observe for a bit and get to know that community and how it operates before you start spamming posts.
It looks like they’re also doing the same thing with an alt on Hexbear (they posted the same Daily Mail articles to their politics community which looks to be against that community’s “don’t directly link reactionary sites” rule lol), which I think is another red flag
I don’t personally have an issue with someone posting Daily Fail articles, they can be good for a laugh but we should probably keep those sorts of posts to the SRS community.
There’s no scrutinizing to be done here. I refuse to participate in a community that accepts or enables anyone claiming to be transracial. In my opinion, someone claiming that they’re transracial warrants an instant permaban. I have been a member of Lemmygrad for a long time, and I moderate some of its biggest communities. I even run other communities that are affiliated with some of Lemmygrad’s communities, but I would’ve deleted my account if this person hadn’t been banned.

It might be suspect, but it’s important to give people a chance to either make their case or shift to our community’s concerns before we damn them.
But I do agree with the “woke-free” part of the concern, that feels like a dog whistle. I will be scrutinizing this account and their communities.

to be fair, i’m dyslexic and kept reading it as “Transradical”
had my eyes have actually worked, the ban would’ve been sooner.
