just wondering if there’s been any updates since nutomic’s transphobic behaviour anyone can report on.

    Nutomic is still a site admin, nothings been done. I fully suggest if you want a more safe and secure place for trans people to move to hexbear. They have a lot of very friendly and inclusive trans people there and are very active and have something like 50 trans mods/admins. You can browse their comms from lemmy.ml if you want to take a look at them

    I would ban him from here but to do that he has to make a post so 🤷‍♀️. Lemmy.ml admin team is 100% a boys club and its why this instance is so bad. I personally use lemmy.ml to check on trans spaces across the fediverse, I feel like thats the only use case its good for.

      I can also suggest lemmy.blahaj.zone has a lot of trans people too and I think skews somewhat less political than hexbear

        Ada refused to answer a simple direct question that I posed “Will you ban trans fascists/racists” and preferred to talk around it

        As such blahaj.zone is not an inclusive space and is fundamentally only for white people of a liberal bent, the only place I can recommend as accepting and inclusive and has a large trans community is hexbear.

        Also, to be frank, most of their community is /c/196. Trans people feel like a minority there.

        ‘Apolitical’ just means liberal and too accepting of transphobes, racists, and chasers and is a prime issue with this instance even.

      yeah i’ve had my eye on hexbear for a while. if Lemmy weren’t so resource intensive i’d run a personal instance myself, but looks like hexbear is probably where i’ll end up (assuming they accept me :p)

      Is there any chance that further advocacy would be entertained? I can’t imagine nutomic being removed as admin any time soon … but having his banning of beaver undone seems viable and perhaps a meaningful inroad with the rest of the admin team.

        Doubt it, I messaged them about either possibility, crickets. Maybe if they had a trans person or simply someone that isn’t a guy on the team it would be different. Right now I fully suggest swapping to hexbear if you want a safer space for trans people, but if you’re fine with wading through bullshit, other places are fine I guess.
