I’m a dude, but I frequently browse BadWomansAnatomy. I was having a (calm, respectful) debate with a few users regarding how a lot of people that have “transitioned” still bear hallmarks of their former gender (I mentioned one of my long time friends who has gone from MTF and still looks the same. Kaitlin and Elliot are also good examples). The ban was because I dared to use the “dead names” of Elliot Page and Kaitlin Jenner! Oh the horror! 😱
I went to post in /r/rant how I just thought it was ridiculous and it was autoremoved because I mentioned the world “mod” in the title and I mentioned a specific community 🤣
I mean more that it was going to get downvoted and OP might delete it themselves, I wasn’t really talking about moderation in this particular community, which does a pretty good job from what I have seen.
Yeah downvoting doesn’t help change someone’s opinion it just makes them angry lol, that’s why lemmy will die
I personally hide downvotes for this reason
Yeah it helps but it’s not set by default which is my main criticism, newcomers do not stick around here
You can do that?
From version 0.19.4, yes.
Your instance isn’t there yet, hopefully in the coming weeks.
