I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

    You mean other than the one I admin right?

    With all due respect, you do host a vaushite comm

      I literally had someone from lemm.ee openly being enbyphobic in my replies to one of my posts in 196 and they didn't even get banned, just had their comment deleted.

      In hexbear they wouldve been banned within about 20 minutes of making the comment after being publicly bullied, blahaj.zone isnt as queer friendly as hexbear because it's not as unfriendly to bigots.

      Blahaj is still my second favourite instance on Lemmy after hexbear because it's like the second most queer friendly instance and I've had a lot of pleasant interactions with it's users, but still, to say they're more queer friendly than the instance that was willing to basically rip itself in two and stitch itself back together to remove transphobes seems a bit much

        That's a limitation of the moderation tools in Lemmy. Only one report appears per instance, and if a community mod actions it, the report is cleared, but they lack the ability to instance ban.

        And when that happens, the admins who can instance ban never even see the report. That's as true of hexbear as here.

        Either way, that user is banned now that I'm aware they exist. A quick look through my moderation history will show you that queerphobia or gatekeeping of any kind gets you a permanent ban

          Ok, I didn't realise that, sorry for mischaracterising you and your instance. Also in retrospect I was being overly combative, so sorry about that too.

          It would be a shame to defed because I like some of the communities here and like these are the two biggest trans instances, so like, hopefully it doesn't come to that

        for the record i dont think starlet is a mod for any community on hexbear in particular
