Blahaj Lemmy Meta
Blรฅhaj Lemmy is a Lemmy instance attached to blahaj.zone. This is a group for questions or discussions relevant to either instance.
Thank you, Ada
I'm coming from a small brazillian instance and we're also getting attacks on the brazillian trans community, on our case is the medical association, dictating that doctors couldn't treat trans kids.
I asked my admin to support you and to de federate them until they change their policy, hope other instances join too.
Blahaj user and former Brit here ... well done Ada for consistency and transparency regarding this.
The whole "let it play out" attitude really says it all, it shows cowardice and a lack of leadership ... kind of like the current prime minister.
I'm not a blรฅhaj user, but I really hope the feddit.uk mindset on this doesn't spread to other instances.
Why do divisive people have to care so much about letting people do what they want if it doesn't affect them? What someone wants to do with their body does NOT affect you, but your open derogatory statements about them DOES affect them!
Another non-blahaj here to say FUCK YEAH, Ada.
Deplatforming works. Demanding civility from people under attack by disingenuous, insincere "intellectuals" is so much more than just tone policing; it's direct enablement of disenfranchisement and allowing the spread of harm.
It's easy to be bad. It's hard to be good. When bad people are allowed to express their evil ideologies, it is much easier for people to pick up the evil than for the righteous to defend the good.
We cannot be tolerant of intolerance.
So, again, FUCK YEAH, Ada. You rock for protecting your users AND the rest of the world by contributing to the deplatforming of bigots.
Based Blรฅhaj admin is based.
You kick ass Ada. Thanks for all you do.

thanks ada uwu
Unfortunate that you had to do that, but it sounds to me like you make the right call. Keep being great ๐๐ค๐ฉต

Of course it had to be feddit.uk
trans women are not women
Wasn't this a recent court ruling in the UK? Which isn't great.
I don't know all of the terminology, but the entire argument over it just seems so stupid, how does letting trans people exist bother you in any way?
Yes, but the best thing is that it's not, like they are claiming, law. It is merely an interpretation. It doesn't stop us from doing anything we were doing previously though ultimately a lot of transphobes and business will inteprate it that way, sadly. Plus there is some whisperings of it meaning certain legal things but it isn't that yet. The Equality Act needs to be updated anyway and if it was this would make the supreme court's ruling null and void.
Even if it does mean new laws most of us will probably break them anyway as unjust laws are not worth paying any attention to.
Thanks for doing what you do.
It's ridiculous we are still having to deal with this in 2025. Just yesterday I had to see someone using the tslur as a "joke" under a .world post. Mods removed it. It's not hard to be decent, although some people decide to make it look like an impossible task. As far as I'm concerned, hate speech is not free speech...
