As a basic timeline, in a megathread I asked @podking if the podcasts in the dump weren't vetted to include warnings for content not allowed on the site specifically transphobia, both hosts of the BAR pod are known transphobes and listed such on the transmap site listed as a resource on the transenby comm. They are transphobic, the podcast is transphobic, end of story with that. They responded and said "it’s lmaoooo apparently some of y’all need a trigger warning" and then I made a post in the transenby comm bringing this response to attention and people were not happy with their response, which resulted in the poddump thread being unpinned and locked.

I've noticed some users and some fresh accounts who probably just came here for the dump asking where it was. And it seems like @podking still has the ability to edit the locked post (or edited it shortly before it being locked, mods please let me know which) where they one included a link to what I assume is their site for the pod dump https://kingdex.xyz/feeds/ and also the navy seal copypasta which is weird wrecker behavior to do similar to their initial reply about the trigger warnings and some of their other since removed comments when confronted about it . I really think there's something not right about this. They're not banned (which they shouldn't be if they apologize to the trans community ), but still haven't apologized and are still sending script edits to the post ? @PorkrollPosadist @marxisthayaca if you have any more information about how the post is being edited / if podking reached out to you directly or something ...

If people are just gonna keep on complaining maybe it's best to pin something about it, include the link to his site and say we don't endorse it, idk (edit : https://hexbear.net/post/191681 there has been a temporary thread pinned that explains it so at least people will stop asking about it / can access the content)

      Agreed that “muh content” is not a good reason to allow hateful things to be posted in the community. But I was speaking more to OP as a human and the project that they created to share with others. those like most of us that can’t afford to subscribe to a ton of diff content. They have put real work and hours into this. Audio and torrent files don’t aggregate themselves, let alone provide the infrastructure to kick start the sharing of the torrent (Broadband, hard drives, etc). It’s real work combined with a real difference of opinion. You can’t expect to community to be monolithic. All this being the case they augmented their operation for the good of the community. That copy pasta was never my favorite, but it has been used for years here as an ironic way of representing responses to threats to the human ego. It could just as easily self-directed and ironic as passively antagonistic. Poe’s law etc. It’s ungenerous in terms of reciprocity to what this user has put together for sharing to read the worst possible interpretation into it. Not enough evidence to use the word “reactionary” imo

      uhh
