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.
mastodon.lol, an instance with something like ten thousand users, cracked under the pressure and shut down. I’d be surprised if one of the large-ish instances on lemmy doesn’t explode within the next couple of months.

The way I understood it, the admin of mastodon.lol got into a fight with trans users over whether discussion of the Harry Potter game falls under transphobia, he got some pushback, flew totally off the handle and decided to shut down everything. With thousands of users, heated discussions like that are basically inevitable and administrators have to be able to withstand that or they’ll flame out like mastodon.lol did.
