also how many of our mods are trans? its definitely a lot of them. ive seen some misinformation on /r/traa that this place is transphobic, which is insane to me, ive been here since the beginning and im trans myself and i consider this to be one of the most trans positive places on the internet. no other social media site ive seen has built in pronoun features, and i have seen the mods ban people for using wrong pronouns and even the smallest implications of transphobia. honestly, its more trans positive than some explicitly transgender subreddits due to how active the mods are and how quick they are to delete posts and ban transphobes
They've received several offers to help out, including from me, many competent others.
I got no response. I assume others did too. I feel like this is a "because I don't want to do it, I don't want anyone else to do it either" decision and I find that kinda selfish given the number of trans people that the community has benefitted.
Who knows though, I might be speaking prematurely and get a response eventually.
hexbear infiltration of traa when (we were there the whole time)
and yeah, that seems common on reddit tbh. i can understand wanting some vetting for the mods, but i figure if someone has been posting to traa for years and dont post to any sus subreddits, thats a good sign
