    I can see a lot of people becoming alienated after being scolded over nothing. Reading like 6 different pinned mod threads about how not selecting a pronoun label makes you transphobic has very much lessened the time I've spent here lately.

      I absolutely felt alienated and angry that all these unnecessary accusations were flying around, and I didn't even engage.

      I added my pronouns to be nice and I didn't realize we could do it post creation, but holy shit there was DEFINITELY some people actively starting shit. If I had anywhere else to go to feel like an accepted leftist I probably would have. The bullying really activated my fight response because it had the same energy as the traumatic shit I went through where the bullies had the powers-that-be behind them and knew they wouldn't face any consequences. I'm aggressive as hell with the enemy, but man I couldn't hold a candle to a lot of stuff being said. Nobody was stepping back and listening, just fucking accusatory baiting.

      So I to made a thread that would try to humanize everyone and remind us we're on the SAME TEAM and I actually wanted to know more about. Helped me calm down, but the fact remains that I feel like I would be thrown under the bus at any second by my allies for not passing every purity test. I'm sure that isn't an exclusive feeling. Call me a class reductionist, but we have history to fight. Not each other.

        Trans girl. I absolutely hated and LOATHED those repulsive allies. No material help, stupid radical liberalism presented with the most hateful narcissism and character assassination. I hope they rot. Go ahead and ban me for “being a terf”.

        I am a class reductionist. All the best trans girls I’ve met are. I’m proud to be a class reductionist. So is Amber.

      Saw a comment in the resolution thread earlier, grandstanding how we can grow as a community by being more polite when calling out reactionaries in the future. May just be irony-poisioning but I felt the urge to tell them to log off. But instead I did that myself, cooked some and practiced the guitar. And it felt good.

        I was confused. I still am. How exactly is it transphobic?

      Probably laying low, i popped in to complain about maoist struggle sessions (newsflash, the same people paroting the rhetoric like to ignore that it was used against gay and transpeople) and the people who regardless of ideology also lick mod boot after purges (you see it all the time on sites like reddit and ah) and was immediately banned for transphobia. Apparently asking for a bad/bitch after seeing there was a deer option went too far. I'll be making a chapoauto.zone splinter forum when the lemmy integration is done lol.

      How can one "see" people becoming alienated if the alienation leads them to not engage with threads or post, isn't that just an assumption then, the whole struggle session took like what 7 threads over the course of two days, I easily ignored all of them, wasn't that hard

      Y'all sound a little butthurt

        It means "i predict with a high degree of certainty"

          “i predict with a high degree of certainty”

          So in other words, a butthurt assumption based on nothing but hurt feelings

          Also you're not 90u9y8gb9t86vytv97g, let them speak on it

              The word "see" is a 'turn of phrase' now, since when? And what do their pronouns have to do with anything?

              They made a claim about folks getting alienated and I'm asking for proof, why y'all being weird

              Edit: THEY

                    "I can see [thing i predict will happen]" has been a turn of phrase in english for centuries
