UPDATE: ADMIN STATEMENT IN COMMENTS

Leadership of Lemmy has dug in their heels and shown that they will be slow to remove overt homophobia, sexism, and transphobia on this platform. Administration will spend hours or days of effort defending these people to justify a ban that would be instant on other platforms.

You are not safe here. I recommend migrating to either Lemmygrad.ml or Hexbear.net (Hexbear being much less sectarian but the people on Lemmygrad are very cool 😎). Please take care out there. Fuck the patriarchy! Trans rights are human rights! ✊

    I appreciate it, but I’m going to be a little wary until I see it in action. I see too many places become uncomfortable for PoC and LGBT comrades who feel they have nowhere else to go, because every place they do end up pushes them out in the end.

    I think you might benefit from checking out hexbear for a bit to see the difference in user activity (there’s a lot of user activity). It’s like night and day from here and they had their transphobia struggle session like 2 years ago. Once all the shitty people were gone, everyone got comfortable and actually started to talk to each other.
