If I'm reading the feddit.uk comments correctly, UK passed some transphobic law defining "woman" and that somehow affects how they moderate their UK based internet forum.

From burgerland this is absurdly inconceivable, but the UK is know for not having any sort of free speech laws.

Whether its for feddit.uk or the UK as a whole

It’s not really a huge loss if it does get defederated. They posted annoying anti-China slop like that piano player and his victim complex.

I'm trans; I say fuck 'em

transfemme here.

:ukkk:

(i'm trans fyi)

I'm not voting, but I just wanna say, in a reasonable society, opposing someone's rights would get you beat up

No tolerance. Feddit.uk can oust their mods and admins themselves or move to different servers.

As much as it would be nice to have around for the few posts that are relevent to me I'm gonna hae to go with just because of the excuse. Not only does the court case change nothing, but even if it did they should be enforcing their current anti-transphobia rules until they've reached a decision on how to implement it. They aren't, and are holding up an irrelevent court case as an excuse.

Fuck a Nazi TERF instance. And that user in question with the “adult human female” dog whistle bullshit can face the fucking wall.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.

Shitty ass rule that just means transphobia and other bigotry is acceptable as long as it's a ”subtle” dogwhistle.

There are only two other instances worth being federated with, and this site should always prioritize bring a safe space for marginalized people.

All white english to be banned, all goes according to plan

I say try but the first sign of it not working.

ukkk is yuk

Big

We should 100% detach from any instance that harbors transphobes.

Not voting either way here. But I'm further of the opinion that we are still attempting to compromise by having two mutually exclusive goals in one instance - Propagandising libs and having a safe space for our comrades. Achieving both on the same site doesn't really seem possible.

The admin's response is just very strange. Why does British law matter here? No one expects or wants forum rules to have a formal legal basis. It's something you make and enforce based on what kind of community you want to have, and if they're fine with transphobia because it's legal to be a transphobe, they clearly don't want the kind of community we do and we should defederate.

I just like seeing the British flag burn. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

defed gang keeps winning uphold socialism in one lenmy thought

I think users can hide/block comms/posts they don't like.

Heh heh CoC

We defeded from blahaj.zone for the same reason. It would be pretty hypocritical to stay federated with them, especially since the transphobia

is even worse. There’s just no excuse for not banning someone who calls trans women "it".

No one in the world should ever have to speak to a British person

if they defederate from us for being pro-trans, that looks worse for them than us preemptively defederating. Now we know to agitate around that specific issue and it's a good time to confront britishers in their home threads. I'm fine either way but think we could do something funny which makes them show their ass+hair more.

Every nation/country-specific instance can go, tbh. They always have the worst users.

too much extra work just to keep around a few users who might be able to hang with us. if the instance allows transphobia, that's just more transphobia for us to potentially see an clean up ourselves, with no real way of addressing the root cause of it if it does end up becoming a problem. save yourselves the headache and ban it

but trans women are the ones getting the vast majority of abuse and if the ladies wanna tussle i'm down to tussle

first to make their admins seethe
24 hours later because it's the right thing to do for our users

is better bait

The situation for my trans siblings in the UK is absolutely dire rn. When the courts and the governments are out to strip them off their rights, they need solidarity, not backstabbing. Reacting to these developments by an internal discussion if transphobia should now be allowed on the instance means the admins have already chosen barbarism.

I think maintaining the ability for people here to agitate there is important.

'ate transphobes

'ate the UK

'ate blood sauage

love my comrades

Simple as

if they aren't good enough for shark site they're not good enough for bear site

The British have no real value to add to any conversation. If they want to be part of the federation, choose an instance that doesn't revolve around TERF island
