I already told you, I didn’t drive anybody out. LOC decided to leave for his mental health, and you decided to take away his agency and devalue the words of his friend by inventing a conspiracy theory to get mad about. Why would LOC want to come back after seeing how poorly you treated him and his friend? He probably thinks you’re a jerk and that the community was toxic for him.

Sounds like the new mods weren’t very good then. They expanded the mod team and the community still died?

I didn’t chase anyone off of Lemmy, though. Link was a welcomed member of c/nonvoters and volunteered to take a hiatus. Kitten says so. What’s the point in you ignoring Kitten when you claim to be an ally of that community?

Fundamentally I think that’s what’s at play here. The user base refused to trust Kitten and left. Your whole thing about loving the sub was a performance. You people were looking for an excuse to call the mods liars and leave.

They got new mods. Kitten was handling the community, giving them what they asked for, appointing mods who were posting and keeping activity up. Is that no longer the case?

I remember making that post, a lot of people agreed with me and also wanted the transphobic trolls gone. It’s a shame Ada decided not to remove the community, and that they got a new mod team. Last I heard, posting was vibrant because the community trusted the new mods. I wish my warnings about their transphobia had been heeded.

I don’t know who you’re talking about because that never happened.

Soulism is inherently transgender as it deconstructs white supremacist reality including gender realism. When the reality of gender is destroyed, space opens up for an infinite diversity of subjective gender experience. Soulism is gender liberation with no limits. There is no soulist exclusionism. There is no soulist fakeclaiming. There is no soulist limit on what gender can be for the individual. And I chased off 0 trans users and 0 trans communities.

Blahaj is a cool place despite Ada. Ada asked trans people to come, and a bunch of cool transes arrived. But Ada has consistently gotten in the way of that with bad takes, heavy handed moderation, and defending transphobes.

I don’t think it is. You wanted a rational explanation for Ada’s behaviour. And I understand that. I understand wanting to think the best of other people. But Ada’s behaviour is not rational, and she hasn’t earned the trust she has from her communities. We need to stop rationalising her behaviour and thinking the best of her. And that’s what the point of that post I made was, and that’s what her subsequent comments in the thread demonstrate. A lot of people on Blahaj are making excuses for her when they shouldn’t.

I don’t know if you have psychosis

That’s a lie. He said something he didn’t believe to cover his ass when he realised he’d done something wrong. Since then, he’s completely denied that that conversation even existed in the first place. He’s lied even more once he thought he could get away with it. I disagreed with his religious views, and he said “Please take your meds.” It’s a joke, and the punchline is that I’m crazy because I disagree with him. He backtracked it, and said he doesn’t know if I have psychosis, which is true, but he said it to support the lie that he never called me crazy. And as you can see in the other threads I linked, FS called me crazy because he thinks everyone who disagrees with his religious views is crazy. He broke the rules of his own community to say that people of other religions than his are suicidally deluded.

Ada has wonderful intentions. And she is incompetent, and Blahaj is not safe for trans people as a result. It looks safe for trans people, but when you look at the record of her actions as an admin, it falls apart. It’s security theater. It’s fake. She thinks it’s really a safe space, and she’s wrong. She’s fooling herself and she’s fooling a lot of trans people who are vulnerable because of her decisions. She deleted !soulism@lemmy.blahaj.zone, a trans community, because of her confusions.

No, there’s no real person similar to Obvious_Troll. I made them up. Ada said in a private message that she didn’t realise I made them up and she just assumed they were real. Then two months later, I said they didn’t exist, and Ada got confused again. You’re jumping through hoops to explain a person being completely mentally incompetent. This person you made up whose name is similar to Obvious_Troll, they don’t exist. You’re defending a fictional person you made up, just like Ada defended a fictional person I made up.

Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll by confusing them for a real trans person twice. In a row. She’s confused. She can’t tell fiction from reality when she logs into Lemmy, and she makes moderation decisions based on her misunderstandings.

We’re not talking about me. We’re talking about Flying Squid. Flying Squid calls people who don’t agree with his religious views psychotic. Nobody else in the thread was as big an ass as he was. He thinks mental disorders are an insult for him to use against people who disagree with him. And he has a record of breaking the rules on various communities, even ones he’s supposed to mod, in pursuit of his religious agenda. He chose to do that because he’s a bad person.

Flying Squid accused me of having psychosis because I disagreed with his views on religion. He’s done many other bad things. There’s no need to glorify someone just because they repost a lot of garbage. He doesn’t deserve any respect.

PugJesus is cool though

All that work just to make it the same as what we already have

With a blocklist, the user is putting their trust in an unnamed group of people with essentially no accountability. With defederation, the user puts their trust in admins they can talk to, with a public modlog to explain every decision. You’re proposing to take the same amount of control away from users, but with less accountability.

Because in order to block content, the user first has to see it. If I were an instance admin, I wouldn’t force my users to see any amount of N words and homophobic slurs, not even the once it takes to block it.
