One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

An admin of this instance, Nutomic, is a transphobe and has no right to be able to ban trans people from this community. (lemmy.ml)

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml @JoeBidet@lemmy.ml @cypherphunks

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

That's not a right, that's a privilege, and one that is accorded by this community. Hence, this post, and hopefully revoked ASAP, it seems.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No, it's a right called ownership. The shit is his. Just leave him in the dust. Don't give him the power.

I mean, ultimately, yea. He's not the only admin (and the second most senior AFAICT), and creating a relationship between users and admins/mods is a worthwhile activity. Just walking away whenever mods do something excessive (which is a thing, they're human, it's always going to happen) is too passive and destructive.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Walking away is what I do. My attitude is that I'm what's good and if they don't want it, they can't have me.

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I hear you and that's fair.

Part of my position here is informed by my being a mod of my own community. Before I started it I made sure I was willing to walk away and accept criticism from the members of the community (and posted to this effect too). It's something that is important I think.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah it's definitely worth saying something first. Can't just walk away leaving reasons go silent.

That's some defeatist bullshit, friend. Do better.
