I created Non Voters a few weeks ago because Blahaj Zone was infamous for hosting a community which banned people for advocating leftist praxis in the voting booth. I wanted to show that these attitudes are not the only ones allowed on Blahaj. With Ada’s permission, I made a community dedicated to deconstructing these attitudes as they present all over the Fediverse, on a variety of instances and communities.
We won! We did it. The pressure built, and the moderators of the other community decided to be more inclusive of views on the left. You can now advocate for stopping fascism and preventing genocide of queer people all over Blahaj Zone. The community has been reunited. Divisive elements are still arguing we should go back to banning trans people for not wanting to die, but the people in charge aren’t listening to them.
Now that the Blahaj community is united, Ada and I agreed that Non Voters should no longer exist on this instance. There’s no point fighting over all this anymore. I’ve prevented any new posts and comments, apart from this one, from being created.
If you enjoyed the way this community was run, you should check out !soulism@lemmy.blahaj.zone, which is what I’ll be moderating from now on. The aim is to create the furthest left community on the whole fediverse. I think every leftist who was involved in all this can get along there. c/soulism is not a satire instance, we’re going to be talking about our own good ideas instead of the bad ideas of centrists and conservatives. It is also very much going to be a safe space for trans people and neopronoun users. Including trans-species, or otherkin, people.
