I knew Blahaj was never ‘for’ me, but I always felt comfortable here. Guess that’s over. Ada and the admins have the right to cultivate the community they want to see on Blahaj, and I wish them the best of luck going forward.
I’m going to miss 196 and Femcelmemes, but… well, Blahaj isn’t for me, since I don’t acknowledge ‘dragonfucker’ as a gender.
(Not sure if I’m supposed to say this yet but screw it):
If it’s any consolation, for a good handful of weeks we’ve been planning on moving 196 to lemmy.world ASAP… but to tell you the truth I’m not sure how soon that will be. It’s tricky, but we’re working with the admins of both instances to figure it out.
Edit to clarify:We’re not moving because of the “neopronouns” thing.
I’ve had some bad run-ins with Lemmy.world mods, certainly, but the admins seem overall fine, if amateurish. They generally take into account feedback and try to provide the full rundown of any actions taken. When one of the admins crossed a line of participation/moderation/administration in the recent vegan cats debacle, they chose to clarify and have the admin admit wrongdoing.
fyi, dragonfucker is banned from 196 too. I think the moderators are pretty fair in yeeting people for being rude, regardless of opinions on gender and the like
I’m sad that one user has caused so much trouble for so many people on here. I don’t get the current situation at all, as it’s small potatoes compared to the myriad of transphobes and tankies from other instances. I don’t often block users, but I don’t see how this issue isn’t just tied to a single one who would be better off blocked.
I don’t get how wider political discussions get roped into personal problems. If a person was a really nice “dragonfucker,” I don’t know if we’d be having this conversation. It’s fine to dislike a person without seeing them as immoral or a political enemy.

I sure fuckin hope not, lemmy.world admins and mods are generally even more incompetent than the others.

Far from perfect, but they’re tolerable.

I’ll be sad to see you go, especially over this 😞
