Seeing the liberty hub head mod get chased out because of an honest mistake is pretty fucking disheartening. Liberty hub was one of the only places that was free of the reddit brainworms that infest almost every lemmy instance because of liberty hub's aggressive modding.
All of the people celebrating him being chased out have been banned from liberty hub for very valid reasons, whether they were very argumentative or genocide apologists. Seriously. Look up the modlog of the people actually celebrating it.
I could put up with 196's bullshit by just blocking them and hoping none of their frequent posters wandered into spaces i took part in but the fact that non-voters is still allowed to run when it's very clearly just meant to be a place to post content that's incendiary towards people who hold political beliefs that don't line up with mindgoblin's as a reaction to mindgoblin being banned from liberty hub for being incredibly argumentative is honestly pretty gross.
I'm just gonna pass mod of the comms i manage to someone i can sorta hope to handle it.
I'm too fucking old and not terminally online enough to put up with this, i'm clearly not the target demographic. Good fucking luck
I'm not going to invalidate Grail's experience with Their gender. Outside of western culture, there is actually some history of gender diverse folks being culturally elevated to, or at least associated with, divinity. Grail's gender identity isn't on trial here. Let's not devolve the conversation to exclusionary language about a person's identity. This isn't about whether goddessgender is a queer or trans identity or whether we should respect Their desires when addressing Them.
It's about Grail being an inflammatory troll.
