Admin collaboration and liberal coup (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

kittenzrulz claims that the takeover of this community was entirely over links getting burned out. this post would appear to contradict that.

furthermore, they completely disregarded my points in the questions i asked, particularly around the ideological motive around the changes they made when giving feedback, and failed to respond when i pushed them on the point, despite posting elsewhere.

i would argue that both the mod of this community, and the admin of the instance, are hostile to anarchist and leftist politics, and cannot be trusted. recommend finding a new instance.

When I hear "My goal of blahaj zone is not political," I hear "I want my group to have no immune system so that fascism can insidiously sneak in past our noses."

If I said "politics has no place on blahaj zone" that would be a fair accusation.

But politics explicitly has a place on blahaj zone, precisely because of the impact it has on the lives our community. It needs to be talked about. Politics has a place here, because it has to have a place here. But it's not the primary reason the space exists.

Your goal for the entire site is non-political. Being a safe space for trans people is a political goal, intrinsically, in my opinion. Do you have a wildly different definition of "political" than the one I'm using?

Your goal for the entire site is non-political.

We are a left leaning instance that is explicitly welcoming of political discussion, and home to several communities focused on politics.

You are mistakenly conflating the fact that we don't center politics with the idea that we're trying to avoid it.

I know your secret, Ada; you want to protect trans people, and you use any power in your hands to save trans lives if and when you can. Being queer is a radical political act, and one which you and your community don't just avoid, but are in full support of. It's okay to acknowledge it. It's a good thing, in fact.

Why would I avoid it? I'm openly, loudly and proudly queer. In the daily I'm covered in pride symbol's, and i have an estrogen tattoo.

I'm an advocate and an activist, and this space is part of it.

I'm political, but this space is a result of my politics, not a vehicle for it, because my advocacy includes people who don't share my political views.
