Perman sub ban because part of another subreddit
Perman sub ban because part of another subreddit
I left Reddit because I got perma sub banned for being part of another sub. Which had no correlation to the other one. After this happening twice I said screw it. Fediverse it is for me
You're viewing a single thread.
If someone does transphobia, I instance ban them whether or not they did transphobia in one of my communities.
Eh. Blahaj and beehaw kind of have an obligation to over-protect their instances and users.
That is not “over-protection”. Trans rights are human rights.
I'm being supportive of that.
Also I’m blocking you for being complicit.
I believe they were trying to say that it's the right thing for the Blahaj instance to do, because many of the users there belong to groups that are frequently targeted by hateful people. They likely meant to say something like 'extra protective' not overprotective.
You do you, I guess.
I'm not trans but, thank you. Everyone deserves to feel safe being who they genuinely are (except Nazis and slavers, they deserve help being better, if they'll accept it).
Good for you. It's important for your self esteem to feel strong and powerful.

In the context, this implies "Ada is solely doing it for the sake of her own self esteem". I don't think so; a simpler and better explanation is that she's building a safe space for trans people, and the sort of people who'd spout transphobic shite elsewhere would make that environment unsafe.
So the situation might look on the surface similar to the one in Reddit, but deep down it's nothing alike:
- Blahaj - the admins are transparently dictating who does not belong to that instance, and that is done so the instance stays true to its goal, by manually removing disruptive elements.
- Reddit - the admins play make-believe that "erryone is welcome here!", then you have mods outright contradicting what the admins say, for a thousand reasons (from the reasonable to the petty and anything in between), with a bot that boils down to "dat uzer posted in [sub], so I assooooome dat the uzer is [whatever]!".
Apples and oranges.
Well put
it's important to make sure regular violators of social contract are properly ostracized from communities where their toxicity is unwanted.
Fediverse' Einsatzgruppen... You have been warned!
That's pathetic.
You’re projecting
Found the meme the parent comment reminds me of lol
