    Community banned as I recall. And even removing the comments because I called them a troll and accused them of mocking the trans community was bullshit in light of the recent acknowledgment that they are- in fact, a troll.

    They went to where they knew they could take advantage of the rules that protect the trans community- and then weaponized it to create drama and get shit removed.

        I can’t check because blahaj modlogs won’t even load for me without timing out, but my point remains. I was banned/had comments removed for calling out a troll. Who did it is irrelevant.

        You guys circled the wagons around a known troll and went scorched-earth on anyone that so much as said they weren’t being genuine.

            It’s not misgendering when it’s a troll that is mocking the trans community. Show me where I misgendered someone that wasn’t trolling your instance.

                Whatever makes you fell better. You protected a well-known troll when everyone tried to tell you- and you continued to protect them when proof was provided.

                For the record: People can be thoroughly disgusted by a troll embedding themselves in your community as an “attack helicopter”- and simultaneously support the trans community. It’s called “nuance,” and it’s something one would assume an admin would have a firm understanding of.

                Making a blanket protection around something and then blindly doling out bans and removals without understanding that people can and will take advantage of this can only be described as piss-poor moderation.

                Because as it stands, by your rules. I can say that I identify as a 1972 Trans Am and demand that people cal me PontiacFucker and you will have to defend me against those that would accuse me of being disingenuous…. Right?

                    You’d benefit from doing some research on Isabel Fall.

                    That sounds interesting and I want to look into it.
                    Reading the Wikipedia page I want to ask, what part of it specifically are you referring to?
                    The story itself, or the authors health in response to the criticism?
