Wow the mods are amazing, they removed the comments before I even saw them.

oooh 86 comments about the space race. I’m sure this will be very normal

that cis people exist. I’m trans and nonbinary, it’s genuinely bizarre to me that not everyone questions the gender assigned to them at birth by the government lol

even as an anarchist, I’ve got to hand it to the soviets on this one.

just replying again to thank you for putting some of the examples into a single post. it’s honestly exhausting seeing the banning of an account like DroneRights that was transphobic and hostile held up as an example of hexbear not being inclusive enough.

I really wish its ban hadn’t been folded into a wider discussion about accessibility because that’s something that should be talked through. I think there are ways Lemmy as a whole could improve.

Generally, if someone comes in with a new account and immediately starts in on creating a struggle session, it’s been a reliable indicator they were not here in good faith.

While I think we should always try and see how we can be more accepting, part of how Hexbear has been able to stay a safe space is that we don’t put up with hostile / toxic users.

I was starting to get really uncomfortable with enbyphobic DroneRights was getting and the amount of generally transphobic dog whistles kept adding up. I’m glad the mods stepped in, being told my pronouns don’t matter was really invalidating.

thank you for reposting that here. As an ND person, I really appreciate how well you said this.

Yes, it’s not a thing outside of western orientalism. It’s also a frequent stereotype / conspiracy theory pushed by sinophobic reactionaries and ties in with some antisemitic conspiracies.

I also didn’t say anything and just lurked but this was my read on it as well.

this. it was enbyphobic and generally just toxic. it always seemed to have a jab ready to go at someone. deeply unpleasant.

I’m also ND and it should absolutely not be a pass to being toxic. as an example, experiencing RSD doesn’t give you a free pass to be cruel to others.

hexbear isn’t somehow ableist for keeping this safe space for everyone. I think DroneRights honestly got waaaay more slack from the mods than an account would typically.

all politics is sexual pathology

hell yes. no government has any right to dictate our genders or who we love.

i mean sure, but that’s also reductive. a strong china weakens the USA & imperial core, which then weakens the most other states & gives leftists breathing room
