I just got a message from a trans friend saying they got banned from /r/trans for trying to post the feinberg image I made some time ago. They messaged me, saying they were crying, because they got banned from 4 trans subreddits because of it and they were one of their only places of support and was so shocked that it was against the rules. They were already harassed off reddit once. I mentioned they could come here.
Its so fucking crazy that literally the 2-5% of trans people, liberals, were able to get ahold of the trans subreddits and hold our communities hostage, fragment them, and purge any trans people that want to fight and advocate for third world trans people who are literally having bombs dropped on their heads. I spend half my time on here going through ban logs to make sure as many trans people get to be here as possible and are dealt with leniently because of shit like this.
ruins everything
What do you expect from a website that installs new moderators when they don’t do Reddit’s bidding?
tbf i would expect hexbear to do that if the mods didnt uphold our regular purging of transphobes. its just reddit does that in reverse, they seem to have found some of the worst people to mod the trans subreddits. all the rules seem to be designed to fracture the trans community and prohibit discussion of topics relating to trans people in the global south simply because its ‘controversial’
which is just… bizarre. any other subreddit would say the same about trans existence
they seem to have found some of the worst people to mod the trans subreddits.
Do you think this is intentionally done?
