Other day I made a post about transphobia in the Fediverse and I crossposted to several communities, one of them was [email protected]. It seems the post I made attracted the attention of the mod and he decided to come over to this community and post transphobia apologia here. He was banned shortly afterwards. I would encourage people here to avoid that community, and any other communities he moderates. Since as a moderator he can easily exercise his power to silence dissenting views and to intimidate others. It's not best to participate there.

I don't know of many good ones that could be used instead, perhaps someone could start a fediverse community on lemmy.blahaj.zone, but that's beside the point of the post. Main point is to share this information with the community so you can avoid using a community run by a known transphobe.

.world has the best reputation overall of quality and care of the sites with big communities

I don't believe that with how many transphobes and trolls run wild there, and they might get banned from communities they still have their accounts on that instance. Who do you think they have that reputation with anyway? I haven't heard anyone kiss their ass lately, I've heard people say anything from that they're too big to manage effectively, to that they don't care and allow transphobia to run wild. They aren't what I think of when thinking of an example of "overall of quality and care".
