Nutomic is still a site admin, nothings been done. I fully suggest if you want a more safe and secure place for trans people to move to hexbear. They have a lot of very friendly and inclusive trans people there and are very active.
I would ban him from here but to do that he has to make a post so 🤷♀️
Is there any chance that further advocacy would be entertained? I can’t imagine nutomic being removed as admin any time soon … but having his banning of beaver undone seems viable and perhaps a meaningful inroad with the rest of the admin team.
Doubt it, I messaged them about either possibility, crickets. Maybe if they had a trans person or simply someone that isn’t a guy on the team it would be different. Right now I fully suggest swapping to hexbear if you want a safer space for trans people, but if you’re fine with wading through bullshit, other places are fine I guess.
Ada refused to answer a simple direct question that I posed “Will you ban trans fascists/racists” and preferred to talk around it
As such blahaj.zone is not an inclusive space and is fundamentally only for white people of a liberal bent, the only place I can recommend as accepting and inclusive and has a large trans community is hexbear.
Also, to be frank, most of their community is /c/196. Trans people feel like a minority there.
‘Apolitical’ just means liberal and too accepting of transphobes, racists, and chasers and is a prime issue with this instance even.
yeah i’ve had my eye on hexbear for a while. if Lemmy weren’t so resource intensive i’d run a personal instance myself, but looks like hexbear is probably where i’ll end up (assuming they accept me :p)
Hexbear caters to a pretty specific flavor of Marxism. I think you’d be accepted, just be prepared. Pro China, Cuba, DPRK, etc positions are pretty much the norm, and you gotta have a lot of receipts if you want to push against any of those positions and prevent getting dunked on.
i think the DPRK is the only on that list i don’t hold positive opinions about, or really any at all. everything i “know” on it is typical western propaganda so i try to keep my opinions open

Beehaw is a safe space for trans folks :)
I can also suggest lemmy.blahaj.zone has a lot of trans people too and I think skews somewhat less political than hexbear

That’s a pretty common and reasonable opinion, even by Hexbear standards.
