i was trying to be tactful, respectful, and understanding by posting this thread for ppl to ask questions abt our beautiful hexbear. i didnt get any questions.
it took 4 hours for Ada, their admin, to respond. she locked the thread shortly after responding her reply above was disheartening, as she seemed willing to work with us previously. equating ableism to a dunk tank post is just vile. and claiming the transphobia in 196 is “a specific event that occurred around a month ago” proves she didnt read any of our concerns. i didnt know abt that event, im sure most of us here dont. our concerns are rooted in the chasers of 196 (non-trans ppl who fetishize trans ppl). someone replied to her saying we were “concern-trolling”. is it that unbelievable that we care abt not having bigotry in the same space as us. i want to grab some of these users by the shoulders, shake them, and yell, “WE ARE BEING GENUINE. WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PROVIDING A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR ALL PEOPLE, AND YOUR COMMUNITY IS ALIENATING TRANS AND DISABLED PEOPLE!!”
responses were not very positive of us
they think this is a bit! lol, lmao even! this whole thing has me
this chain of comments particularly upset me “its a troll”. my pronouns are right next to my name, and “it” isnt one of them (even tho thats 100% a valid pronoun to prefer)
this one had me fully
and the cherry on top warranted its own post https://hexbear.net/post/373453
Yeah, if they can’t even respect your pronouns then it’s clear now that Blahaj.zone is a transphobic instance. Their projection seems to stem from their inability to keep their own trans and other marginalized groups safe from attack.
the point about the chaser shit was that a mod was defending it - and we know for certain chasers have made a home there because @HornyOnMain@hexbear.net got DMs from one / dogpiled for suggesting chaser shit is transphobic.
purge your fucking chasers and purge 196 you fucking cowards
To be fair, as neither a local member or one of a blahaj, the post did read a little… off, for a lack of a better word. I didn’t feel like it was made in bad faith, but it felt a little faux pas.
I feel like such a fogey. I’m assuming Vaush is some sort of internet personality? I get search hits for a YouTuber.
yeah, youtuber - “anarcho-Bidenist” with an extremely toxic fanbase and infamous for being a pedo, a chaser, and racist. straight up defends saying the n-word. we normally don’t allow discussion of his stuff because giving him attention or brain space is a mistake but it’s relevant in the context of the 196 community
Eesh. It’s so bizarre to me the online personalities, that people will then claim to be followers of, and even attach a cutesy name to. It’s like saying, “Yeah, I’m Savillain. Yeah, I’m a Cosbologist.”
straight up defends saying the n-word.
Also chased a Black youtuber(Professor Flowers) off the platform by slandering her as a genocide apologist, and utterly refuses to differentiate between white nationalism, regressive Black nationalism(the kind of horseshit that say, the Black Hebrew Israelites peddle), and actually revolutionary Black nationalism.
Y’know, blahaj really isn’t doing shit to convince me it’s not just a cesspit comprised near-entirely of the gold star/three no’s gay community, especially not with their Vaush infection; and that’s enough to make me want them defederated
Gold star lesbians ostracise other lesbians who’ve been with men before; want people to believe they just came out of the womb lesbian. Three no’s, which i have more familiarity with, are the gays who have “No Blacks, no fats, no fems” either at the top or bottom of their grindr profiles. Usually white, moneyed up twinks, though before I pitched out my own profiles and became a bitter queer hermit, I was seeing that mindset metastasize to non-whites.
Never trust a leftist who doesn’t drop a few slurs per day.
is one of the slurs that I accept and it applies here.
We don’t need to, they already defederated from us without ever talking to us.
If they think bearing with the hex was bad, wait until they get us if they ever decide to try again. We’re not half as patient as hexbear is with liberals, though I appreciate their effort to make this federation work with blahaj
I’m not entirely sure how federation/defederation works since it’s one way, from what I understand the posts that were federated remain, and one of the two parties can still comment and be seen, but the other can’t? It’s not super well documented yet
As someone that created an account here after the drama on blahaj, I’m disappointed to see so many sweeping generalizations of the people that used the instance
glad to see new people, hope you like the new /c/traa community :) will be putting some gas in the engine after i wake up from my next sleep
Thanks, I checked it out a bit. Looking forward to seeing more posts populate.
I’m still not sure if I’m going to stay, hexbear seems a little chaotic at best coming from blahaj, and a lot of the users are pretty aggressive. But I’m here for now
