  • I'm not entirely sure what else it is you need to know. I spent a couple of hours yesterday detailing my concerns about merging the lgbt channels on those channels. (liam.bean) That whole message, tbh, made me fell unsafe. Like, that the mod team is so far out of touch that they don't understand why trans folks need a separate space and why the idea of renaming the sad-trans channel "sad-gay" feels like so much trans-erasure. I'm just not sure how to explain it if it's not something you can understand. And I also don't want to get banned for speaking up.

    That Marie's post (which I felt was not rude or anything worth banning for) has been deleted and Marie now banned doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that it's even ok to voice those kinds of concerns here.

    While this was after the main issue, it doesn't exactly bode well that this showed up in the discord yesterday morning: https://i.ibb.co/ZT8SzMp/drama.png

    I'm feeling very wary of a group of mods/admins who think that renaming a trans channel "gay" is more inclusive. I don't know how much overlap there is currently between the lemmy mods and the discord mods, but yeah.
