I would probably also consider this whole fiasco and pushback against Kolanki’s very justified ban an act of bigot apologia, something else that is utterly unacceptable.

But will it actually be fine? Will everything actually be fine if our Admins won’t handle community squatting seriously? How can someone be willing to ban people for thinly veiled bigotry so badly they wipe all their content, even the benign from this instance. But in cases of community squatting “Oh no I don’t want to interfere with the community” that has no sense whatsoever!

Also just for the record. I think Kolanki deserved it for being an ass and playing the victim. You absolutely need to earn allyship, you can’t just self-proclaim to be an Ally when you don’t actually support queer people in any way.

@moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone @moss@lemmy.world Yes I would’ve banned him if I were in Ada’s position too.

No offense but that community has a horrible name, it is insanely ugly. Shame on Ada for letting this one rot because mods said so.

I don’t, she shows she doesn’t respect this community by her inaction, and letting them just name squat or worse, possibly wipe out this community and all the posts in it. And for what? Because they’re sticking up for a transphobic asshole who was banned from the instance and recieved automatic community bans from 196 and other communities as a result.

Honestly I expected better.

Agreed. It’s what would be best for us. Not moving to another community with a horrendous name, but staying here while they are removed and move on to lemmy.world.

That’s not powertripping, that’s stepping in for the good of the community. This community would benefit to stay in !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and if @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone removes them and reappoints someone else who shares the same passion for this community that isn’t powetripping, it’s doing the right thing.

I think the mods here should be replaced. Let someone else who wants to do better take over here. Someone who has investment in blahaj.zone and cares about the community. Not someone who only has an alt here that they never log into.

Yeah lemmy.world is a horrible instance, they protect and unban trolls, transphobes, and even in one case, a person advocating for CSAM legalization WTF? This is a horrible decision and I’ll never stand by them or support them. This destroys any amount of good faith I once had in the team here. I say they should be replaced and we continue here like nothing happened. blahaj.zone is an amazing instance and I for one appreciate them being as harsh on bigots and their apologists as humanly possible.

Why do we have to have to move to one with a shitty name, if there’s enough support why couldn’t @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone give us control of this one. That is where all the people and action are already. Why should we have to further fragment.

I think we should just keep the original !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and pass control of this one on to the mods of the other one. If the existing mod team wants to leave that’s their choice but we shouldn’t end up losing this great community just because they want to migrate. This is our community.

Hello I’d love to help out the community, I am currently a mod on !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I also have experience modding back on Reddit as well.

Yeah seems like people always forget about transmascs for some reason.

I’d rather have the Adderall than E since I have ADHD.

(I actually do take Adderall for my ADHD)

I find it amazing that not only was the original comment not removed but that this person wasn’t banned from blahaj.zone for it.

oh that’s good, maybe I’ll give it a shot then. Not sure if I can join though since my app is malfunctioning and the key export isn’t working (keys are needed for the blahaj mod chats I’m in since I mod egg_irl and a few other coms here)

I personally don’t really like Matrix, I only joined it out of necessity and the whole keys things is uncomfortable and unintuitive.

They’re both cool but I prefer dressing as the first one. I just think it looks cooler.

I think both is Bigender.

Why are the warm ones framed as “genders” in this? I can see why people might think those who like Cool white would be mentally ill but not what makes the warm white ones ‘gender’.
