Blahaj admin goes powertripping over minor issues

lemmy.blahaj.zone In 48 hours we will be defederating from programming.dev - Blåhaj Lemmy

This thread is intended for blåhaj zone users. Top level comments from accounts on other instances will be removed. ====== It has recently been brought to my attention that the lead admin of programming.dev is engaging in ongoing transphobia. You can see the conversation in question here https://pro...

The admin banned people for saying that calling everything transpobia isn't the way to make you seem reasonable and all non blahaj TLC get removed by default.

Nah their admin is drama queen. Unfortunately being trans doesn’t makes your decisions automatically right and everyone else transphobic.
I’m not talking about this particular case and I think their defederation from Lemmy NSFW was also stupid.
- The nice thing about the Fediverse is that people can go forum shopping. Blåhaj is an instance that chooses to defederate too much rather than too little, making sure to create a safe space even if this safe space is smaller. That's between them and their users. As long as there are users who appreciate this approach to moderation, it's good for the Fediverse that such an instance exists.

  ... wasn't that over loli/shota stuff?
  
  No it was because this community: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/adorableporn
- Got banned for saying that you cant call everything transpobia and shut people up with that.

I don't think post titles in this community should include personal bias.
"lemmy.blahaj.zone admin announces defederation from programming.dev because of controversial comments made by their admin" would have been better and much more factual.
- "controversial comments" my ass. Its a textbook powertripp over a very minor issue
  
  Cambridge Dictionary defines "controversial" as "causing disagreement or discussion". The admin's comments did just that, so objectively speaking they are controversial.

I kinda thought the 'cissie' name-calling was a little obstructive to proper conversation. I get that some people are really offended by the 'cis' name, and I'm not sure the writer didn't choose that jeer intentionally because of that.
- It is offensive.
  
  And idiotic as hell. Like... They say you shouldn't mock people based on their sexuality or gender yet this happens all the time...

Looking at the comment thread and seeing that it's all hexbear users makes me think whatever he said was justified.
- He didn't even say anything bad or transpobic, just played a game and made a post that ot won a award..
- Kind of fucked up reasoning, but you're not wrong, it was pretty harmless, but the point of blahaj is specifically to be a trans space, no matter how small that ends up being so...
  Good luck, I guess.
  
  It's perfectly fine to have ultra safe spaces, but I do wonder why they're then putting them on the Fediverse.
  
  I mean there are literally people in the thread saying they outright leave blahaj for this shit and it's 100% justified.

This must be the most pathetic reason for defedaration I've ever seen.
- Almost. The lemmy.ml defederation of ani.social is still top of all because it was completely made up
  
  yeah that sucks honestly since i never seen anything remotely related to reason they provided for the defederation
  
  Admin sees an anime illustration: "Oh my god this is child porn. DEFEDERATE DEFEDERATE!"

Welcome to their increasing insanity.
- Ridiculous power tripping.
- Good thing nobody is forcing you to have an account on Blahaj
