I’m calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here
edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong
edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.
Yeah, every time I see it come up it just makes me ask “but why yet another platform” I always assumed it was because they didn’t have anyone who could meaningfully contribute in rust - that explanation seems plausible though
That and it seems they’re using the languages and tech stack they use in their day jobs, which also makes sense. Whether that was accurately weighed against the benefits and costs of rewriting from scratch is another question though.
Of course, the elephant in the room is that they likely couldn’t remotely stand to collaborate with hard leftists.
As to the grift take from @mathemachristian@hexbear.net , I once saw them post about new mod features along with a survey, and having heard that this was a major selling point looked into it all … and as I recall I saw little in the way of any new ideas or promises. Doesn’t mean that they won’t do well on that front. Piefed seem to have done some good things there. But there certainly seems to have been hype there.
