Recently the site has become full of transphobic and conspiracy garbage, as well as a campaign for Ron DeSantis.
Their admin doesn’t seem to give two shits about any of this he’s just letting it happen without any intervention. Defederating them would benefit this community greatly.
So far as I could tell it was not an insult.
It was an accurate adjective.
whatever it was it’s misplaced, i promise we agree on this. while i get it wasn’t completely clear, my comment was about the practicality of immediately making that decision without considering potential consequences, not that we should tolerate or ignore any of the transphobia on that instance.
i wrote down a thought that i had, that defederation could possibly make the instance a target, which ended up not making as much sense as i thought at first. i also didn’t realize that there was a large scale issue of anti trans harassment on this site which i now know there is on other instances, on first glance it seemed isolated, so thats my bad
either way, throwing around accurate adjectives and getting in heated arguments online absolutely isn’t any kind of praxis and honestly is a waste of time
