We haven’t coordinated anything with the mods from there and they are squarely focusing on getting people into the lifeboat over at https://lemmygrad.ml/c/GenZedong. However, you are more than welcome to hang around. A lot of us have accounts for Lemmy as well as Hexbear since Hexbear does not yet federate with Lemmy (although that project is under way).
An importance difference in site cultures to keep in mind is that we don’t allow sectarianism. If you want to dunk on anarchists, you need to take that elsewhere (or just refrain since anarchists are comrades too). If you want to dunk on liberals, !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net is full of all the cringy Twitter screenshots your heart could ever desire. We also have !memes@hexbear.net, !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net, and !sino@hexbear.net, which should have some overlap with /r/GZD. Our !genzedong@hexbear.net comm was also recently unlocked by one of your moderators.
Happy lurking; Furious posting,

To address some transphobia issues, folks on this site decided to do some educational efforts like telling people to read a book, e.g. Leslie Feinberg's Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue. For some libs, this triggered a fighting response when they could have just shut the fuck up, lol.
Like imagine someone saying a local org has a racism problem so some POC come together and say, "hey we did some work and will do some readings of this book with anyone interested, it'll help us all understand what's happening". Now think of the person saying, "I dunno, sounds divisive". That's the kind of thing that got warnings/bans, just like they'd get piled on in a good irl organizing space.
that makes more sense. thank you for explaining in detail, I figured they were being intentionally obtuse so I didn't wanna speak on anything before someone else weighed in. also lol at them getting banned
Yeah this place got cooler when it adopted a no-tolerance policy on casual transphobia. Happy I could be helpful!
