Fuck ada tbh, has done fuck all to protect trans people and has done a fuckton to protect the kind of people that say this shit. There's even more shit in the thread here: https://lemmy.ml/post/22194896

its a fucking shitshow dear god i dont know how marcie survives the sea of morons

its very strange to see trans servers and sites that are so pathetic at actually defending trans people and educating the cis people around them. Trans spaces are for trans people, and while cis people are allowed, any weird shit from them should get them an immediate ban. Several of the shit talkers are just cis randos giving their hateful opinion.

thank god for people like Kristina and TC_69 to have a competent defense of trans people.

    All these people shitting on hexbear made me discover it a few months ago. I was kinda accepting shitty things on other Lemmy instances such as libbed up shit and anti veganism as Im used to it IRL.

    Finding hexbear was a godsent. The coomunity always feels very nice. I learn a lot of historical shit and can re experience the feeling of message boards on the late 90s early 2000s.

    I still have no clue how to use the emoji pictures everyone's been using though. I copied one once in a post and gave up in all my subsequent ones lmao

      I still have no clue how to use the emoji pictures

      There's a menu button here (at least on desktop) that shows the whole list, grouped by category:

      Show

      Otherwise, just type a colon and start typing a word after it (with no spaces) to bring up the inline emoji picker, which will try to search on emoji name and/or keyword, e.g., blahaj is :blahaj: but typing :trans will also show it in the list, because it has been tagged with "trans" as a keyword.

        The emote previews take so long to load for me. I only ever use the kelly one for puns mostly, but it's not the first result for kelly

          These need some sort of caching mechanism. The UI is ass too because you can't see what is loaded/not-loaded, and everything shifts as it loads.

      If you know the name of it you can do :emoji-name: and if you want to see the name of an emoji someone else used you can press the "View Source" button on their comment (looks like a piece of paper) to see it's text code or hover your mouse over it.

      For example logo is : logo : (without the spaces)

      Alternatively, as you are typing up a comment there is a little smiley face button above the text field you can press for a little emoji selecter ui.

    Agreed. Hexbear especially is using trans people primarily as a shield against criticism. You will not find a community there.

    Speaking as an admin that had to deal with them.

    So, how did we scratch natebluehooves@pawb.social ? I've yet to see a salty admin that didn't act like a chauvinist piece of shit before malding over us.

    haven't really looked at the ikea fanclub instance since i deleted my account a few months ago and it's always nice to get a reminder of why i try to avoid posting there or even just look at it in general.

      it’s always nice to get a reminder of why i try to avoid posting there or even just look at it in general.

      When I accidentally wonder into a trans thread on someplace like blahaj or beehaw, I'm always like "wtf is with these comments?" and then check the instance...

    I expect nothing of the consoomer-queers or the instance they infest; these are the same people that ROUTINELY sell Pride out to cops and corporates, forgetting the faces of their mothers every time they do so. Forever the weakest links. I expect nothing but three-nos, gold-stars and Blaire White-expies.

    Serious question: is it not callous as hell for myself, as a cishet dude, to be telling trans people in the US that the negative outcome here was coming either way? What's a better line to take?

    most people are on the lemmyverse are liberals and the same is true for trans people.

    it's depressing to see them coalesce around the same people that put them in this situation that they're in to begin with and we can't stop them from making that choice.

    whose Kristina and TC_69? are they in the post somewhere? (i can't find them)

      Oh they're not in the post, Kristina is a top mod here, and TC69 was a previous admin

      both had a very large role in making hexbear a fortress for trans users

          Kristina used to be more active, TC_69 left a while ago, before i joined i think. So i don't think so, no.

              Kristina's last post was a minute ago, I think she just used to post more.

              TC69 hasn't posted on her main account in 3 years and stepped down from being an admin before that. There's always a chance that she's still posting under an alt.
