In 48 hours we will be defederating from programming.dev - Blåhaj Lemmy
lemmy.blahaj.zone
This thread is intended for blåhaj zone users. Top level comments from accounts on other instances will be removed. ====== It has recently been brought to my attention that the lead admin of programming.dev is engaging in ongoing transphobia. You can see the conversation in question here https://programming.dev/comment/6131539 [https://programming.dev/comment/6131539] For that reason we will be defederating from programming.dev in 48 hours. There are only three communities on that instance used by small number of our users, so this won’t have a big impact, but if you are one of those users, you will need to use an alt account on another instance if you wish to access the communities.

The admin banned people for saying that calling everything transpobia isn’t the way to make you seem reasonable and all non blahaj TLC get removed by default.

    Nah their admin is drama queen. Unfortunately being trans doesn’t makes your decisions automatically right and everyone else transphobic.

    I’m not talking about this particular case and I think their defederation from Lemmy NSFW was also stupid.

      The nice thing about the Fediverse is that people can go forum shopping. Blåhaj is an instance that chooses to defederate too much rather than too little, making sure to create a safe space even if this safe space is smaller. That’s between them and their users. As long as there are users who appreciate this approach to moderation, it’s good for the Fediverse that such an instance exists.
