Ok I didn't see that thread because I tend to look over some posts. I still think drawing attention to a post isn't fully the same when we're all one giant community of communities. I feel like you're being a little over reactive to some terminally online people being argumentative and annoying you a bit. Maybe it is sort of a brigade tho.
Respectfully I feel like you're doing this right now, wanting to separate from other trans folks just because the vocality of their beliefs is annoying you and a few of the people in this thread were rude. Unfortunately stuff like this is gonna happen if someone makes a post specifically about us, but in no other cases have we gone around dominating blahaj posts. I also don't see how we're "disrupting a safe and inclusive space" by giving our takes.
Cool, but I told you it was a brigade. I wasn't making it up. You made the choice to disbelieve me, and then to argue with me about it, despite lacking that information.
I don't want to defederate from you. How much fucking clearer can I make that? I've been putting up with hundreds of your users dunking on me here, even more of them on your home instance. I've had people posting pig shit emojis, and spamming this thread up so much that it's impossible to find content from the blahaj users that it was aimed at.
Hell, the whole thing blew up because people misread my meaning. I don't give a shit if you want to pull down NATO or any other organisation that systemically disempowers folk. What I care about is that you aren't wishing death on people. Yet, you're all so hung up on NATO, that my clarification hasn't changed anything. Even if you disagree and think that some people deserve death, disagreeing with our stance of "don't wish death on anyone" seems like a pretty fucking strange issue to bring this onslaught of bullshit on.
Yet despite all of that, you're still federated. This post is still unlocked. I'm still engaging with you.
That is because I do not want to defederate from the strongest trans supportive lemmy instance out there aside from ourselves.
Yet it seems inevitable that we will have to, because this shit isn't slowing down. Not a single one of you has tried to reign it in. None of you have called for us to have our space to talk about our own instances policies. None of your admins have stepped in and called out the post that breaches your own instances code of conduct (requiring you to be kind to your fellow leftists, remember the human and not insult, demean or harass anyone).
Instead of finding solidarity, you are dogpiling bullshit (and pigshit) on to your peers, and you have become part of the problem. Unless something happens so you stop disrupting communities and discussions designed to protect and support trans folk, unless something happens and you pull your fucking heads in instead of dogpiling trans folk you disagree with, we will have to defederate from you anyway, despite not wanting to, because you have become a source of harm.
