As a transmasc demiboy I'm getting gender envy from the first guy.
It should be noted that Lemmy's blocking function is more for "things you don't want to see" and is next to useless for users that are actually harmful because it does not restrict access to the person it is used on, it only hides their content from you (great for people who you "disagree with" but insufficient for legitimately/objectively harmful users).
Instances like Hexbear post large amounts of spam and spread objectively harmful ideology and misinformation. They aren't merely "things you don't want to see". Their defederation should be done to maintain the health and safety of the instance due to the severity of some of their offenses.
Hello I am currently looking for people to moderate this community since I am still very new to Lemmy moderation and I have a feeling this community will be quite popular.
Please only comment if you either moderate other communities or have significant experience with moderating other communities or both.
Recently the site has become full of transphobic and conspiracy garbage, as well as a campaign for Ron DeSantis.
Their admin doesn't seem to give two shits about any of this he's just letting it happen without any intervention. Defederating them would benefit this community greatly.
