I've literally had some of my comments (on this account and others) removed while other people agreeing with me don't have theirs removed.
Or moderators banning people for stuff that's not even against their rules but they just put it as the reason anyways.
Not to mention the amount of misinformation that flies around that goes completely unchecked.
I'm currently chilling on blahaj because the moderation is pretty good (usually) but having downvotes disabled really hampers things at times as some pretty terrible shit sometimes gets a lot of upvotes but you never see the downvotes.
Even Blahaj has the admin going to bat for outright cranks, and censoring the gentlest criticism as "gatekeeping."
Capitalized pronouns are not a gender issue. That's not how pronouns or gender work. Anyone insisting the little people call them Her Majesty deserves to be ignored at best, whether they're trans or cis.
And that's the shallow end of this conversation - I had someone insist on equal respect for emoji as pronouns. Hard no. Fuck off. I don't even respect emoji as text. I don't care how hard anyone feels it; you cannot sexually identify as a pumpkin symbol. That's not what those words mean. Me saying so is fucking obviously not the same kind of disrespect as deadnaming someone, and people trying to equate them are insulting the trans community. Trans women are women. No human being is produce.
Almost wrote "no human being is fucking produce," but I have videos to the contrary.
You won't hear me defending the admin here that's for sure. And I agree with you on everything in your comment here.
It ain't perfect here for a number of reasons but it's a pretty chill place at least in the communities I participate in on this instance. Though I have had some weird to shitty experiences with mods on this instance on more than a few occasions.
