I don’t think the person on the left’s a transphobe, but I also don’t think they understand the scale of the harassment trans people face on a daily basis. Like it’s so bad the users would rather just have potential trolls ignored and downvoted than to see well meaning cis people come in and do vigilante justice using the same tactics of abuse trans people go through every day.
That empathetic disconnect looks like transphobia to some users. I don’t know that the users are right, but I understand how you reached that conclusion, especially with the person on the left’s days-long soapbox crashout about how despotic Ada is.

I honestly don’t understand the whole problem from anyone. I hit the block button after 1 post, and I’m just shaking my head every time. I did the same for the person who insists on having their pronouns capitalized or something (and I’m reasonably sure it’s the same person, but eh, block and move on).
It costs you nothing, it takes basically no time at all, and it makes your life and everyone else’s experience better. Like blocking .ml
I annoyed myself for ten minutes reading their posts, realized they were a teenager looking for attention, and blocked.
Boom, no problems.
I may be out of the loop:
What’s up with .ml?
Lemmy.ml is the marxist-lenninist instance. It’s VERY marxist-lenninist
oh so thats what the .ml means
I mean technically .ml means the country of Mali, and they’ve been pushing to take their TLD back for a little bit now.
Which is partially because of the surge in ai. All these startup companies wants to be associated with .ml (machine learning) and drives up the demand for these domains. If Mali gets it back, it could net a good amount of money.
So you can post this meme, but if I post the exact same meme with the speech bubbles reversed it will be removed for “gatekeeping”. Do I understand that correctly?
It makes no sense reversed
“what if the roles were reversed?” -mfs in a situation where the roles are never reversed XD
You literally made a meme calling out a specific user. The meme explains that if you see a user behaving in a way you don’t like to just report, ignore, and let the mods handle it instead of issuing vigilante justice.
Would you consider this post ignoring the user you don’t like and letting the mods handle things or would it be vigilante justice?
This post is humour + commentary. No one was called out.
especially with the person on the left’s days-long soapbox crashout about how despotic Ada is.
This is just generic commentary not directed at any user in particular?
I’m not aware of the full story, nor am I being told anyone is a terrible person. I guess it’s an if-you-know-you-know scenario. I don’t think it’s villainising anyone.
The OP has recently spent some time arguing with another user. The commentary by the OP is this comment by them except they changed the username to “the person on the left”.
Nobody is a terrible person. I just think it’s hypocritical to say making posts like this isn’t the exact type of behaviour the server admins have requested users not engage in.
entire drama communities: freak out about a situation for days on end
me: does commentary
self-absorbed mfs: this must be about me, in particular
The more people passionately post about drama on a meme page, the less I care about it.
this is a symptom of you caring more about the memes than the community, and that’s fine. :) its good to be aware of your opinions on things /gen
I didn’t realize this was still an ongoing thing. I thought the dragonfucker had been banned after the last sealioning episode.
comment for someone’s comment that I remember but don’t remember where I saw it and I dont care enough to find it and I assume it was removed anyway:
“trans women are women. dragons arent real.”
okie Im a neutron star then, those r real :3
Leaving the instance or blocking someone isn’t transphobic, but not respecting their pronouns is. It’s that simple.
my ass had to take a day off the internet, shit was tiring.
you’re one of the real ones, spujb
