This is funny, but yeah, super bad gun safety. It's best to keep it in a holster, not shoved into your pants.
Ah so you are complaining about a rule that's meant to protect trans people. Let us be clear honey, Neopronoun users are trans, and discrimination towards them is transphobic.
Sorry you don’t agree with me that trolls equating gender identity to beastiality and pedophilia shouldn’t be respected or legitimized. But I don’t want to spend time in a space where I have to respect them by law.
Lemmy.blahaj.zone does not allow or condone bestiality or pedophilia, and it never has. This is an outright lie and it goes to show that you are absolutely without a doubt acting in bad faith right now.
Sorry you think this is a funny gotcha
You just openly admitted that your reasons were transphobic and made a disgusting false accusation towards @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone of condoning or allowing bestiality and pedophilia on this instance. You literally just discredited yourself and your own argument 🤣
The people who have been getting banned by @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone are instance banned for transphobia or apologia. This is something you shouldn't leave out or ignore. When a person is banned from an instance they are automatically banned from any communities they have participated in there.
She's not power-tripping by banning them from the instance, most people banned from blahaj.zone deserve it, and aren't safe around queer people. Something that is kind of a requirement to participate in communities that are meant to be queer safe spaces.
As a note because I forgot to include it in the main article. Some people may say they are egging others as a "joke" or "harmless teasing". While they may have that intention, it unfortunately doesn't often come off that way for the person receiving it. If anything it may come off as a practical joke, or a joke at their expense. Something that isn't funny to them, and that they aren't going to laugh at. Please don't egg other people as a joke, we don't find it funny, they don't find it funny. Only you find the joke funny, an at their expense no less. That behavior has a name, its Bullying.
I think we should just keep the original !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and pass control of this one on to the mods of the other one. If the existing mod team wants to leave that's their choice but we shouldn't end up losing this great community just because they want to migrate. This is our community.
I personally find them to be very comfortable, and they do look awesome. Though not everyone might agree, different strokes for different folks.
You didn't do anything wrong by the way OP, I just leave these reminders on posts where it seems like violations may happen in the comments to remind others to keep it together.
I'm not sure why people think reptiles are slimy, they're not, their skin feels more leathery or like smooth plastic or vinyl. Hardly what I would call slimy. Amphibians are slimy, which makes sense since amphibians have permeable skin but reptiles have impermeable skin (it's actually more impermeable than ours) so it stands to reason that to would not feel wet or slimy at all, and they pretty much don't.
I would disagree though that pythons feel smooth, they do still have that rough reptilian feel, they don't don't feel gross though, at least I don't think so. If you have Herpetophobia you might disagree with my take.
I mean I'm Aroace so I can do without kissing, it would feel weird (also kinda gross).
They exited on mutual agreement I guess
Well technically not mutual agreement until/unless we also defederate from them. Which I still am in support of.
It's not a load problem though, it's because some loser is DDoSing the server. Doesn't hurt to move to other instances where it isn't happening but the real solution would be to find who's doing this so they can be brought to justice (or silenced from the internet forever, whichever is easier).
Please tell others to stop misrepresenting this issue, it is an attack, not a user overload problem and nobody who's misrepresenting it that way is doing anyone any favors except the attackers by presenting it as such. Instead it should be presented as what it is.
It ultimately isn't surprising. Drag has been very sus from the beginning, drag exhibited a lot of behaviors that made me leery. Though at the time I didn't say anything since it was only a hunch and most people were just voicing transphobic complaints about pronouns.
