I’m calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml @JoeBidet@lemmy.ml @cypherphunks

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

    As a non-trans (IE, not having direct personal stakes as others would) … two salient issues here for me are:

    • Ensuring consistency between admin actions and instance rules and culture
    • Creating a culture of and expectations around reasonably holding admins/mods to account for their conduct. Overzealous and personal admin/mod actions are a cancer for group-based social media platforms like this. Simply moving is one possible course of action, but a damaging one. Creating feedback loops between users and mods, IMO, is a better way to go, and so trying for that here is worthwhile.

      I’m not saying it doesn’t suck. I’m saying you can’t police this guy’s server. He does that. You literally physically cannot. Moving away isn’t damaging to you. It’s damaging to him. These instances live off the community just like Reddit.

        Moving can always damage a community. And as I said in my dot points, I think there are real grounds for calling this out as inconsistent with stated rules. The fediverse is about grassroots organisation, not just decentralisation … just walking away is arguably too passive, especially when there are grounds to discuss what’s going on.

            I hear you and you may very well be right. We can hope I guess and find it important to try.
