Faux outrage isn’t playing around though. They’re not doing it for fun, they’re doing it for social capital.

It happened :)

That photo pretty much is how I style them, except I wear flats

I don’t drive, so a full tank of petrol wouldn’t be of much use to me.

It’s on my list to try!

And that’s why it’s good that it’s an option! I just don’t want it to become the only option

Butch implies they’re sapphic, tomboy does not.

Yep, it’s absolutely something we’d consider once database migration becomes possible

10/10 this is the future of Linux.

I hope it’s a future of Linux, not the future. I’m not a fan of atomic distros, mostly because if their reliance on flatpak and the like

The guy is defending a bigoted opinion. End of story.

Again, if you “have an opinion about transgender people” that involves taking away their rights, or putting them in harms way and that prioritises the needs of everyone else first, and the needs of trans people last, if at all, then you have a bigoted opinion. It’s a universal statement.

The person you were replying to described Nutomics position as “It’s hard for me to imagine a more agreeable and reasonable statement.” And as a reminder, Nutomics post was a statement complaining about pride flags on public buildings, calling transgender women “men” and stating that trans folk are a conspiracy/distraction pushed by the bourgeoisie, despite rich conservatives being largely responsible for the wave of trans hatred we’re currently experiencing.

That is pure transphobia.

If that starts happening, we will defederate. But he doesn’t seem to be standing in the way of the rest of the instance staff from dealing with it as far as I can tell.

From my perspective, it’s mostly watching reports that come in. They’re not very common, only a couple of a month. I action any reports that break instance rules, but if people post stuff that doesn’t break an instance rule, but might still be against the community rules, that’s where community mods come in.

Community mods also set the community rules and vision for what it’s about.

Nutomic was banned from this instance approximately 9 months ago when I first become aware of his stance. However, it’s not something I plan on defederating over unless it becomes clear that the instance as a whole is not acting on transphobic content or unless it becomes clear that the community strongly believes that we should defederate.

I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking in general, and the specific context was the person earlier in this discussion, who you explicitly stated is not a bigot.
