My ban isn’t even listed in the modlog, what the fuck? They unbanned the transphobe and restored their screed too
Like why the fuck would they reinstate this comment?? : https://lemmy.ml/comment/541908 edit: it’s finally fucking down again
Good luck to the devs once lemmy is taken over by a bunch of transphobic liberals “just asking questions” and endless screeds about tankies or some shit.
Edit: lol losers https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4m7ITj8r8Z.jpg, still don’t know why my whole account was banned
So hate speech openly parroting GOP talking points and stating the exact opposite of the current clinical consensus is allowed, but calling it out in “uncivil” ways isn’t? If that’s more than an isolated incident, lemmy.ml can go fuck itself, goddamn liberal terflicker swines.
It’s fucking gross. One of the admins rightfully banned this fuckhead, and was then overridden by another.
I’d really like to know why I was banned but this fuck gets unbanned. W/e hexbear remains the better site because shit like this is ridiculed and banned.
Putting tone policing over principle and protection of the marginalized is a deeply bourgeoisified mindset that will always further the ends of the ruling class. It is not only inherently unjust to anybody who feels legitimate outrage at systemic injustice instead of commenting from a cozy position of privilege, as we see in this case where a cisshit is using his position of absolute hegemonial dominance to violate and poison a leftist space while talking down to children persecuted by the state who have to debate their very right to not have their bodies maimed by the wrong puberty. Pretending that the monstrous genocidal policies of this filthy liberal gulag candidate are worthy of rational consideration instead of ostracism and mockery is laughably offensive. Marking outrage at this as unutterable is an inherently counter-revolutionary act.
The entire regime of tone policing is in itself also inherently credentialist and anti-proletarian. This smugness is the mark of the intellectual who still needs to be sent to the country for proletarian labor. Lemmy.ml needs to treat this mod accordingly. Disciplinary action and re-education is mandatory after such a major breach of revolutionary leftist principle. If lemmy as a whole is incapable of that, it is not prepared for the influx of reactionary reddit liberals coming their way, and it is not prepared for our posting power.

Demanding that lgbt people, racial groups and the lower classes engage with their oppressors in a suitable “tone” without ever getting heated is unrealistic. The outcome of tone policing is that the oppressed get banned from spaces when they don’t behave with the right tone when discussing their oppression while those doing the oppressing come to dominate it more and more.
I am once again thankful for our transphobe-obliterating mods :trans-hammer-sickle:
So based on how this is going we’re all gonna be banned from lemmy.ml within a day of federating and it’ll just be a bunch of redditors redditing
Per the admins we’re not going to federate right away. Gotta sus out how things will go on the other big lemmy instances filling up with shitlibs.
I just noticed lemmy.world has lemmygrad dot com on their ban list (not lemmygrad.ml) :garf-troll:
For anyone not familiar with the lore, lemmygrad.com was a patsoc instance that tried to typosquat lemmygrad.ml.
On one hand, it was the goal since the inception of this site. The fact that Hexbear became incompatible was a freak coincidence caused by the circumstances of the site’s launch. That said, it’s been two and a half years like this and it isn’t unreasonable to discuss whether this is still the correct path or not.
The work which has been done returning Hexbear to upstream Lemmy was done primarily out of a need to significantly reduce the maintenance burden of the site. By doing this, we are finally able to benefit from improvements and bugfixes which land in Lemmy, and basically get the option of federation for free.
Personally, I’m kind of excited about the potential, but I am not in charge here and don’t care particularly much if it goes one way or another.
Pretty much yeah. Federation was a selling point for Lemmy. I think it’ll be fun to dunk on some libs, but it’ll also have to be done carefully so as not to exhaust people that use this website as a (semi) safe space.
It makes me happy that zero tolerance for transphobes is something I think everyone on this site agrees on. Thinking about this also makes me wonder if we should be doing more to lifeboat the pro-trans subreddits right now. Whenever I see a “Reddit alternatives” thread on subreddits like /r/196, I never see any mention of Hexbear anywhere. Is this something we want to avoid advertising or would it actually be good to make people more aware of this place?
that only came after some extended struggle sessions that nearly killed the site. a lot of people put significant time and energy into convincing the site that any level of transphobia had no place here. I think the admins were afraid at first that banning all the transphobes would kill site growth but it just gave wreckers room to instigate under the cover of plausible deniability. having to constantly fight about it drove people away faster than just banning the bigots in the first place.
The comms I mod are not super serious but I swear to fuck I will wield the banhammer with great glee at any person who hurts my friends (you are all my friends).
Also, I dont have a full grasp of whats gonna happen soon because I’ve never looked at Lemmy and honestly dont give a shit about it, but I’ve got yalls back with whatever power I have.
I love my trans comrades, and not just them, but all my comrades here. This is the best site on the entire fucking internet and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
I am usually very banhammer-averse but any if any transphobes come into my megathread then I will start Sauron swinging that thing
