So, historical materialism time: certain other banned subreddits with lemmy forks had issues early on rooting out racists and transphobes. There was a lot of pushback from the aggressively white/masc subset community for what they considered overreactions to microaggressions. But when push came to shove, they would often show their whole ass and post the most vitriolic and honestly boomer chud shit to grace the modlogs.

Please keep your minority comrades in mind when posting and moderating your communities. We are service workers, factory workers, and low-level clerks in this together with everyone else, and we would like to believe that socialists care about us too. This is not to say I doubt this community at all, but just wanted to convey lessons from the past.

Trans issues, pronouns, and race issues also make a great litmus tests for weeding out Maupin-type “nationalists” who are mainly self interested.

Hoping to see great things from this community, and nice to meet you all! (っ_)っ

    This is a bit more of a niche thing that I don’t have experience with, so I wouldn’t be able to speak to it properly. But it is something you, as someone who has experienced it, would be able to bring up as a consideration.

    • You mean that I should write some say of essay-like statement for clarification? Sorry, I’m having a super headache right now and English is like my 3rd Language…

      But I understand the thing about niches. In fact, I thought it was a good idea to bring the subject precisely because you were talking about a minority and I wanted to talk about one minority that is systematically oppressed one way or another, while they see the producers of most of their individual material problems be praised even from non - believers and even a lot of communists, which alienate them towards other places or apolitical tendencies. Have you seen the ex-muslim subr*ddit, or the life experiences from exJW, exMormon, etc? You will see a huge social and analytical problem we as a political group are forgetting and even forsaking for the sake of compelling idealist static and even reactionary ideologies because they are held by a majority, and I feel that I am being seen by mods to be banned because what I am saying is too much uncomfortable for what it looks is a huge majority unwilling to not held criticism and keep stepping in the neck of apostate-runaways that wanted to also have a group they found they could be kept at least minimally safe from their basically PTSDs.
