Could we please refrain from doing exactly what nearly got programming.dev defederated?

People don't stop being trans because you disagree with them politically. I despise Jenner and other high profile trans grifters but I'm not shitty enough to deny their identities.
Do better. As a user of both sites this shit is genuinely upsetting. Despite how you may feel about hexbear, how can you claim that they bait people into revealing their internalized transphobia and then turn around and make shitty claims like this? I don't give a shit if you call me a tankie or red fash or whatever, but I'm trans whether you like me or not.
The point about community size is fair enough, and that's on me for not considering it. It's worth noting though we actually had programming.dev removed from our white list so that hexbear users couldn't see their posts for previous cases of unmoderated transphobia but for some reason the mods decided to readd it at some point, idk why
We currently have a defederation thread running on it and from what I understand there has also been a fair bit of discussion behind closed doors of defederation for programming.dev during this whole thing
