I’m trans and I really don’t want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren’t getting de-modded and banned. I also don’t want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.

Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.

    I can’t claim to be aware of all posts they ever made, I suppose I just meant in the Hexbear-Blahaj discussions I’ve seen, Ada seemed to consistently be the one trying to make for productive relations. I very much agree that isn’t a great take.

      She’s flat out saying that she prefers the company of nazis. That’s not being productive.

        Reminds me of when we ran a demos survey on lemmygrad we found out 50% of our users are LGBT and overall 10% of our users are trans. Meanwhile when Beehaw ran theirs, they didn’t even dare to separate cis and trans identities on the survey.

        Blahaj, I await your demographics survey results.

          hexbear was 70% LGBT+ and something like 1/3 trans, from a demographic survey we did a year ago. I’m still livid that users on blahaj were accusing us of not being queer without copping bans.

            Hexbear is the only online community I’ve ever been a part of where I sometimes feel like the odd one out as a straight cis dude, and it’s done me all sorts of good.

            The blue stuffed shark can fuck right off.
