I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
I disagree. The admin is part of the problem as well. They're just playing some good cop bad cop routine, with her being the good cop. If she really cared, those mods would be long gone. That's her prerogative as admin. Like, she could just completely shut down the Lemmy site and focus more on the Blahaj Mastodon, which is the actual flagship Blahaj website.
You may well be right, I guess I'm just trying to be as generous with intentions as I can be.
I tried that too but gloves are off now.
Beat me to it. Ada really just seems to be there to make it seem like they can be talked to, negotiated with, but Ada never does anything but wring their hands and complain about working things out being "too hard."
What do you call someone who sits down at a table full of fascists?
A fascist.
I'm being hyperbolic of course, but the same sentiment still applies. They have the power to get rid of the problem mods, but choose not to, because having those mods be the "bad guy" means they can do what Ada secretly wishes they could get away with.
So everyone's a bastard like all cops?
