• yeah this is the type of mod activity that can wreck an instance. report reasons should be tied to the code of conduct. the code of conduct of blahaj disallows ableism, yet this mod uses ableist terms in comments then when you push back, they remove the comment and give a removal reason with more ableism

    and then there are the chasers, who have no place in a queer community. not a coincidence that this comes from 196, a largely vowsh watching community

      Vaush is so fucking bad. Dude explicitly defends his use of slurs on stream. Why can Vaush call people the n word? Slurs have no place in a leftist space. My child is non-verbal, this mod is using the language people insult my child. The comments left by OP were calm and reasonable. The mod didn’t even try to argue it in public because they know there isn’t a good response to “don’t use slurs”.

        I posted about this on hexbear as well, and as someone who has an intellectually disabled family member, this kind of behavior, from a mod, is really gross. I’m glad to see blahaj members pushing back against it

          My kiddo is autistic and non-verbal. I am enraged over this. And I bet it was on 196 too. I’m done with Moss’ shit, she cannot moderate in a safe space because she only cares about it being her safe space, not the community’s. I’ve seen so much casual bigotry pop up in these anti-hexbear threads and it’s really eye opening. So much dehumanization and gatekeeping of the queer experience. I’m officially done with 196. This was already my backup instance, I’ve just been waiting for FMHY to start back up.

          Ada is a really fucking cool admin, she is a great community runner. But 196’s mod team is consistently a single tier above 4chan trolls.

      I tried real hard in those comments to be diplomatic too, and I was called “braindead”

      I’m ready to take the gloves off honestly, just hoping Ada sees it and reacts in a positive way.

      Just wanna say as a vaushite, while vaush acts a certain way on some streams, we don’t and would be banned from vaush fan spaces for doing so. Vaush fans don’t condone ableism, transphobia or chaser behavior. In seeing these screenshots, I agree, Moss has made some horrendous mistakes.
