This is the example 196 mods chose to use to demonstrate blahaj's "heavy handed moderation" and move to stormfront.world

Sucks to fucking suck. Eat shit etc.
I don't care to federate back with IKEA.trans, Ada made her bed and now she has to lie in it. Chaser libs and all.
Also this is how i find out that IKEA plush had yet another instance of drone rights induced drama and Ada once again sided with the trolls. Gods i hope that the trans people still there eventually open their eyes to hexbear.
My favorite is still Ada allowing a troll from another instance form multiple crusades against a comm they didn't like. Only to only ban them after successfully chasing people away for something completely different.
But yeah totally the safe instance
honestly even worse w/ the context, I assumed they got shut down for asking some inane question and then ranted about it but nah
they posted it as a top level comment on this (a post just saying "Ally is not something you can self-identify as, it’s a title that you earn. Let your actions speak for themselves!")
like just the idea of actually having to do something to be an ally sent this dumbass ranting
unlimited bans on these fuckers
Sarcastic statement: who could have seen this coming
tbh by the time 196 developed on reddit i was already pretty off the site so idk what their community is even about, but they always seem like bad vibes and vaguely chaser-y. that's all i know about them lol
theres asking innocent questions and then theres asking "innocent questions" and then brow beating people when they refuse to take your bait
The two actually safe spaces for trans persons on this part of the Fediverse should be connected.
ADMIN ADA, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!
Edit: recent comment by her:
I’m Australian, and in my country, I’m a member of the Greens with socialist leanings. But at this point in time with things the way they are at the moment, the issues I am most focused on are queer and racial equality.
196 is/was here not because they reflect my politics, but because making space for queer communities and queer lead communities is the reason this instance exists. Making space for queer communities is my priority

It'd be cool if HB and Blahaj could only federate like, specific comms if both decided the divide was still too great for full federation.
you mean Hexbear and Blahaj? We were federated at one point but iirc other than not being transphobes (which may even have been up for debate, idr) they were bad on basically everything else
Yeah, they were pretty ok with defending chasers and their weird fascist friends (who are bailing on them lmao)
thinking about this more i guess its good news for me since i graduated before the communist revolution so im automatically not woke
Blahaj slowly realising that turbolibs don't give a shit about trans people, they just say something performative and then expect all their "innocent questions" to be answered on demand or immediately declare being an ally is impossible.
Sorry
, god forbid some trans people choose not to talk to you - I wonder if there's a reason why?The r/196 crowd was an enormous part of the problem, maybe once they go rejoin Reddit.world, refedding really is an option again.
She just doesn’t get it does she
No, but I sort of feel like a lib-friendly trans space with good authoritarian moderation against transphobia is a tolerable thing. Trans lives matter even if they're silly and haven't figured out that liberalism will get you nowhere but dead. I think it's probably on the whole good that LBZ exists even if it's not my cup of tea. I don't go there cuz I know where they're from before the instance existed, so I know those aren't my people.
But as a socialist HB is so beautiful for giving trans members room to breathe and exist without constant aggression and ignorance directed against us. I think trans libs deserve that too, not even as a treat but like, basic fuckin essentials for not going insane. Some of them will eventually figure out politics or the fucked up chaser dynamic enough to leave the space and we will be here to welcome them with reeducation when they come.
Happy to be corrected on this opinion though.
If you want to point the finger at me, at least own your own mistakes, rather than asking for good will and civility and then dumping on me when the chance presents itself.
She hasn't figured out the deal with liberals yet
😌
