I guess I'd add, having returned to this, that it's a bit off-putting for you to be sharing your preferences for how they behave with their own instance, given your non-involvement with that instance itself, or trans things in general.

One of the major points of federation as a concept is for folks to not be mandatorily subject to some overarching singular approach to content moderation. You're here, so I think it's reasonable to assume you care at least a bit about the way this platform works and what makes it unique(ish) and valuable.

At the risk of coming across more hostile than I intend - why on earth does Blahaj need to specifically, only, be about trans topics, to be a valid space in your eyes, when it seems they mostly just want to exist how they prefer and interact with federated Lemmy stuff, in the ways federation explicitly intends?

I'll admit that I don't always remember to look at where a given post originated from before commenting, and I should get better at that - could be that's all you need, too 🤷‍♂️

You can be conservative, you just cannot be an ass. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult for conservatives to not be proper conservatives and instead they often turn to fascism like Trump and Musk proclaim.

Being a conservative is about prioritising the status quo. It is not about returning to the middle ages with a police state of witchhunting and mass murder, which is what fascists and reactionaries want.

I really don't understand that comm either, but I haven't looked too closely cuz I'm not that interested. I also moved off .world entirely for my accounts because I don't like some of their moderation stances. I understand why they have them and don't begrudge them for it, to be clear. But I do eye them warily as a kind of emerging de facto instance in some ways (AKA potential for more centralization than seems wise, given their need or desire to comply with certain local laws that limit speech).
