They're not scary, they're awesome. At least I don't find them scary. Maybe some people might be intimidated, but once you get to know some trans people that'll go away.

I still burn CDs for my dad all the time, (I also have a few of them for myself too) since our cars have CD players in them, and while I usually play Music through the Aux it's good to have CDs for when there's spotty connection and nothing good on the Radio.

I just like wearing cute clothes and having long hair. I don't get turned on by it (I don't really get turned on by anything really). Not a fetish, but I also don't have gender dysphoria, I just like being cute.

When did I say that? I said we should consider defederation as a community because transphobic views of an admin are risky and may lead to inaction towards transphobia on that server. That's the whole reason why we defederated feddit.uk before this, which is why I wanted feedback on this, from the local Blahaj.zone community.

The same way that having code on your computer written by stallman doesn't mean you support him or his views. Unless the creator backdoored it to do what they want against your authority, it doesn't mean a whole lot.

How? It's free and open source software. This sentiment just seems dumb. Where's the implication that using free and open-source software like Lemmy means you need to support the devs or federate with their server? I see no such rule, and it's not like they can stop or disallow you from using it (nature of open-source).

Anyone can host an instance and choose to run it however they like, the devs have no control in how or why people use Lemmy. It seems like a lot of people have trouble grasping this concept.

I can promise that it is not being ignored here. It is being considered fully for the transphobic garbage that it is, which is why Nutomic is banned instance-wide since 9 months ago when his DM leaked.

You probably work for meta or musk or reddit trying to kill the project.

Ah yes, because bad-jacketing users is totally a way to make you seem credible. Fuck off dude, this is a trans friendly space. Who do you think you are coming here telling trans people they are "just being reactionary" then sealioning and bad-jacketing users when they call you out on your bullshit.

defederating from instances you don’t like

And that's where you lost me since I made this post highlighting a problem with management of the server expressing harmful transphobic sentiment and now you are trying to make it out like these are petty personal opinions.
We've defederated from servers which allow or don't care about transphobia already, feddit.uk is an existing example. The fact that you are dismissing the problem like this shows you don't understand why we have such hostility towards transphobic sentiment or just don't care.

Liars ARE monsters. Maybe not like literally, but they are monsters nonetheless.

They're doing what many TERFs do, trying to cover up their bigotry with politeness and trying to sound like it's about logic or discussing the meaning of things. Trying to make their transphobia seem acceptable. Then they say trans people are unreasonable when they get called out or banned for their bigotry.

 

As posted about recently in !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works and !fediverselore@lemmy.ca it seems that @nutomic@lemmy.ml's stance on transphobia has not changed and his apology only seems to be that he was sorry he got caught and that someone leaked the DM. This is concerning for an admin of Lemmy.ml and the leader of the project. I don't think this means we should stop using Lemmy, it's open-source and even if they embed donation links, they can be stripped out in our fork. But it does make me wonder if we should consider defederating lemmy.ml on that merit. Since if they hold such views on trans issues, it's very likely they won't have any desire to act on that type of transphobia being expressed on their instance.

I know that Lemmy.ml has and does handle overt transphobia well, but I can't speak to their ability to handle less overt or thinly veiled transphobia, and this incident doesn't inspire much confidence either.

Edit: Since some people haven't seen the original. I decided to include it here. Warning, it contains transphobia, if you don't want to see that, don't open the spoiler.

CW: Transphobic talking points

I'd really like to hear Feedback from Blahaj's local community on this, I'm not as interested in outside opinions here so please try to refrain from top-level commenting if you aren't from lemmy.blahaj.zone (I will ignore them if you comment anyway from a remote instance).

Whenever I try to report a message in my DMs it says "Couldn't Create Report" this is extremely annoying and also probably problematic because people need to be able to report abusive or rule breaking DMs and if it gives them an error it's likely that people in that position will not report them and instead simply block the person.

Can we maybe get this problem fixed, or if it's intentional can we get an explanation why it was done?

This isn't a "snowflake" that's causing transphobia...
