some article about banned reddit communities, specially r/GenderCritical.
Apart from reviewing the weird shit that terfs post online, I found a reflection on the article about how these communities were more "repressed" on reddit because other subreddits bullied them.
So I kinda miss bullying chuds and terfs, and knowing that this had an impact makes me sad..
Bonus: they only mention chapo when talking about Lemmy, and how its devs refused to help the online terfs. Proud of you @dessalines @nutomic :fidel-salute: and fuck the "free speech" tech bros that helped them.
which hosts the also-banned Reddit community dedicated to the popular left-wing podcast Chapo Trap House.

dedicated to... Chapo Trap House
i hate this
They also didn’t go ahead and name us outright when they did for thedonalddotwin and ovarit lmao
It's like g***rs saying that Sapkowski wrote some nice books based on The Witcher g***s
They thought about Lemmy, a federated alternative to Reddit, which hosts the also-banned Reddit community dedicated to the popular left-wing podcast Chapo Trap House. Fain says that didn’t work out because the developers of Lemmy are “actively anti-feminist,” while the developers told me their code of conduct “contains a section against anti-trans bigotry, [which] means we wouldn’t help them in any way.”
Based lemmy devs
Comrades, I think you know what must be done. If TERFs make their own platforms, we should brigade them and flood them with so much shit they stop being functional.
flood them with so much shit
Would that shit happen to be located upon the scrotum of a suidae?
I don't want to read the article because I'm relatively chill right now and don't wanna see shit that will piss me off, but i wanna say I'm glad even a shitlib news like the Atlantic is calling out terfs from what it sounds like. It's one of those things that unless you hang out in certain spaces, follow LGBTQIA+ issues, or know trans or non binary people, you're probably really uninformed about how vile and how much targeted harassment terfs do. They are disgusting people that constantly try to make their way into certain spaces with the idea of making trans lived harder, much harder.
Calling their Reddit clone Ovarit has the same energy as Breivik naming his WoW character "Conservatism" or whatever
Fain framed the ban flatly as persecution. “They use the label hate speech to silence speech they don’t want,” she told me. “Radical feminism does not come from a place of hate, nor anything even remotely near it. Radical feminism comes from a place of love for women and girls.”

:agony-mescaline:
Ovarit looks exactly like Reddit, except it’s purple, and subreddits are called “circles.” There is a circle called “Cancelled,” which is specifically for talking about “attempts … to silence those who speak out against the queercult.”
Where is queer Elliot Alderson to look into Throat's code and pwn them?
Imagine how much better that show would have been if Elliot was queer.
Imagine how good the last season would've been if Rami and Portia didn't have a messy break up? :agony-consuming:
It's good, but there's clear "we have issues behind the scenes" problems with it.
Radical feminism comes from a place of love for women and girls.”
:epstein: :billdawg::not-hillary:
It's so fucking annoying when they act it's because they're women and not because they're terfs. As if anyone would act different if they were terfy dudes. It started with the whole "TERF is a misogynistic slur, it's like saying bitch or witch" uh, no, lmao
The ban seems like it backfired to me. The article brings up LSA briefly, but there was a sort of broader almost class division where there terfs have more of a home on sites where there are a lot of working class cis women and racial minorities now.
LSA is the best example of this because it is a lot of people who would get kicked off twitter where the celebrities are, but the site's fame came from it having a lot of women posters who are basically the working class of Hollywood and had a bunch of insider gossip about different celebrities. So the dynamic of terf stuff being a bunch of bougie white people talking to other bougie white people on reddit is gone and when class bleeds through into LSA's other discussions it's basically the Chappelle bit where trans issues are framed as bougie issues, a bougie plot or some element of white supremacy.
