I would be sad if trans folks stopped communicating naturally in this space because in my opinion that's the main reason that makes the space worth being in.
It's worth noting that, on Lemmy, you may end up dealing with a broader potential audience base than Reddit. This puts a bit more of the onus of content control on the user, as admins won't always see everything, and reporting gets a bit more case-by-case.
But instances can also block other instances, so if there's a cesspool server of pedos and terfs, if the instance so chooses, they can blackhole them.
Even if we accept that such a deal existed, in what way would invading legally neutral countries (uh, again) be an appropriate response to its violation? State aren't forced to join NATO, in fact, it's pretty difficult unless NATO wants you in.
So Russia should have instead invited countries to join CSTO to offset NATO.
Unfortunately Russia can't compete, so it has to use force.
I guess I don't know why you need to bring this up.
I'm fully aware this forum has a lot of trans folks in it. And I am happy to embrace that. But up till now there hasn't been any "please no cis folks" pressure in it, either.
It's not like 196 started out as a trans space. And there are definitely a lot of places that were. And I would tread very lightly in them if at all.
Is it even a bad thing for trans and cis to mix and enjoy things together? Isn't that, like, positive?
As far as I know the original subreddit this com came from was very trans, to the point where I, as a cis straight ally, was nervous that I was somehow not supposed to be in it. And I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one.
So I'm witchu
I must have good filters or something, because I don't think I've noticed any TP / TERFing in here. Sad.
