openstars getting on a soapbox about how other people are liars and toddlers but simultaneously can’t stop vomiting up disinfo and gaslighting about widely documented events.

i agree, i don’t think he’s an avowed transphobe, but he’s certainly got it out for leftist instances, which do happen to be very trans. my observation has been that a blind eye gets turned to bad behavior if it benefits him though, for example people promoting piefed as a place to be free from ‘degenerates’
i will say the harassment has been really gross and persistent. i’ve noticed flare-ups every time the issue of zionism on the platform + governance comes up. most recently after dbzer0 defederated feddit.org, and when .world defederated anarchist instances for banning one of their admins for zionism.
it’s a bit diabolical how piefed is constructed so that moderation for their preferred politics is opaque and targets whole instances and they try to spin the lack of transparency as a good thing by making posts about ‘see how much more other instances ban’ and now just censoring the modlog and silencing instances they don’t like.
the main theme is that anti-imperialist leftists (who are often queer/trans) are to be silenced and hidden from sight if not outright defederated. hexbear is largely non-cis/trans and is not even on that list because it’s entirely defederated (for being outspoken and communist/anarchist/antizionist). blahaj is still federated, but they’re not as outspoken on anti-imperialism at an instance level so they are ‘tolerated’.
how is this “Shadowbanning Instances from Discoverability”, when instead it is plainly simply a banning?
Instead, it is an even ban, always looking the same way to everyone.
if you’re on the banned instances you see your posts, but then they never get the replies that they should, because they are hidden from the feed, despite being ‘federated’. sounds like a shadowban to me.

I don’t read Proudhon as Libb do
it’s probably for the best that you don’t. certainly not to read him uncritically, he was a misogynist and anti-semite. completely baffling to be telling people to ‘read proudhon’ as libb does.
i can see this just fine, along with animation
that’s really great work to be doing! some of my friends with kids have been just so great about letting them express themselves however they like and seeing that genuinely gives me a lot of hope.
i figured it out that i wasn’t happy with my gender in middle school, but i also didn’t really have the words for it, plus the stigma and family pressure was such that at the time that i decided to just repress and focus on studies/career. it didn’t help that the environment in both the college i went to and the career i picked trended towards the conservative and misogynistic.
i survived mentally via escapism, playing female characters in stuff like wow helped a lot. after graduating, moving to a new city, and working for like a decade i finally started to realize how depressed i was and started transition.
by that time i had got more involved with my local anarchists and i was good friends with a really cool trans woman that i met through organizing and she really helped pull me out of denial.
i never really trusted the medical system and would never be particularly honest with doctors, especially male ones. eventually my comrade pointed out that i could just walk into a clinic and get a prescription with informed consent, so i did! it only took me like 20 years.
I’ve been boofing it for months now and the main benefits have been way better mood and hair lmao
god damn i love gunbuster
hi 
I fucking love shot day, always feel so good after 
They posted to the snark comm, the harassment follows. Just because there’s no proof they were personally sending the messages doesn’t absolve them of responsibility for their actions.
if anything the defamation was coming from emopunker, declaring people upvoting the thread about their instance being zionist as ‘the same person’ to a snark comm was pretty clearly implying a call to action for someone
Dbzer0 civility rules aim to protect marginalized people from harassment. feddit.org’s are being deployed to protect Zionism from criticism while tone-policing Palestinians and their allies. These aren’t the same thing just because they both use the word ‘civility.’
feddit isn’t exactly enforcing civility neutrally. They’re silencing anti-Zionism while treating Zionist positions as the default that deserves civil engagement. That’s a political choice with the fig leaf of ‘just following orders the law’, hardly ‘basic logic’. But thanks for explaining to a silly girl like me 
In the thread I linked the thread op and several others were complaining about DM harrassment.
That was happening immidiately after emopunker decided to post the names of three upvoters of the defederation thread in meanwhileongrad, while the vote was still happening.
It’s a pretty straightforward chain of events, if you’re insisting on seeing nothing I think the problem is between your keyboard and your chair
Zionists are not on the left
Death to America
Bye, your contributions to the conversation won’t be missed
you sound charming, I hope you stay away from those things for everyone else’s sake
you started the whataboutism with 'what about the community rules"
please answer my question and do not answer with whataboutism or the discussion is over.
i did qualify that it’s important to read things critically; there can be things which you take away that resonate even if the source is problematic. for example his sentiment of wanting build a society where he would be eventually also be eliminated for being too right wing. generally i try not to limit myself to any one author, i’ll even read marxists for their perspective.
that said it does take time and effort though to read things critically. that’s why i point out that just straight up saying ‘read proudhon’ is not doing anyone any favors, isn’t educating people, and just looks like posturing. it also reminds me of people saying ‘read bookchin’; another guy who makes some good points, but also has a lot of issues and should really be read critically.
i have a lot of friends who swear by audiobook, but i can’t really focus analyzing what’s being said if it’s being read to me.
