yeah this is the type of mod activity that can wreck an instance. report reasons should be tied to the code of conduct. the code of conduct of blahaj disallows ableism, yet this mod uses ableist terms in comments then when you push back, they remove the comment and give a removal reason with more ableism
and then there are the chasers, who have no place in a queer community. not a coincidence that this comes from 196, a largely vowsh watching community
Vaush is so fucking bad. Dude explicitly defends his use of slurs on stream. Why can Vaush call people the n word? Slurs have no place in a leftist space. My child is non-verbal, this mod is using the language people insult my child. The comments left by OP were calm and reasonable. The mod didn't even try to argue it in public because they know there isn't a good response to "don't use slurs".
I posted about this on hexbear as well, and as someone who has an intellectually disabled family member, this kind of behavior, from a mod, is really gross. I'm glad to see blahaj members pushing back against it
My kiddo is autistic and non-verbal. I am enraged over this. And I bet it was on 196 too. I'm done with Moss' shit, she cannot moderate in a safe space because she only cares about it being her safe space, not the community's. I've seen so much casual bigotry pop up in these anti-hexbear threads and it's really eye opening. So much dehumanization and gatekeeping of the queer experience. I'm officially done with 196. This was already my backup instance, I've just been waiting for FMHY to start back up.
Ada is a really fucking cool admin, she is a great community runner. But 196's mod team is consistently a single tier above 4chan trolls.
I already made my account over there. I was on Chapo when it got banned from Reddit and just never made the jump over back then, but federation really does make all the difference.
we went around existing, and people who don't like being reminded that they aren't the center of the universe and the one way to live got peeved, and we didn't lie down
Thought I was on hexbear. A little flammatory for here. Just want to make the point that the pseudo threat is just that we will post calling out reactionaries or defederate and hope a queer instance will understand the need to defend all oppressed groups in order to defend the LGTBQ+ community (intersectionalism or such)

ur welcome to join hexbear assuming ur a leftist!

pleased to have you
Ayy thanks for joining us. We really are a friendly bunch in spite of what has been said of us as of late.
I tried real hard in those comments to be diplomatic too, and I was called "braindead"
I'm ready to take the gloves off honestly, just hoping Ada sees it and reacts in a positive way.
We can see your comments you know?
You went around stating shit. That’s cool - up to a point - but at least own it.
This is some bullshit playground posturing pseudo threat.
Like what the actual fuck dude.
