UPDATE: ADMIN STATEMENT IN COMMENTS

Leadership of Lemmy has dug in their heels and shown that they will be slow to remove overt homophobia, sexism, and transphobia on this platform. Administration will spend hours or days of effort defending these people to justify a ban that would be instant on other platforms.

You are not safe here. I recommend migrating to either Lemmygrad.ml or Hexbear.net (Hexbear being much less sectarian but the people on Lemmygrad are very cool 😎). Please take care out there. Fuck the patriarchy! Trans rights are human rights! ✊

    Good news: the idiot in the screenshot is banned.

    Bad news: still no word from the admins on how they’re going to prevent this from being a systemic issue. It’s obvious from their actions up to this point that they’re going to let things slide unless someone complains loud enough. I’m not the only queer person on the network and not everyone has thick skin.

    They’ve let far too many bigots worm their way into the woodwork.
