LGBT folks got their ears on? Listening?

I've never felt friendlier, closer to a group of people and felt so much "fuck you die in a fire not enough!"

I will never stand against you, but it sure as fuck is hard being a friend.

(IRL, no problem. But online? Jesus fucking Christ what purity testing assholes.)

Left wing groups in general tend to do a lot of purity testing online , offline is a whole different story... as a queer person it buggs me tf out of my mind that people do that

I have no idea what this is targeting... I've never encountered anything like what you're describing. What exactly are you conveying that is earning you criticism from the LGBTQ community?

I'm not shalafi but for example Blahaj and 196 is notoriously trigger happy with bans. I got permanently banned from like 5 communities all at once there for having one very tame civil discussion about where the overlap between gay and trans begins and ends. They're also the most well known instance for defederations.

Oh I think I read something about

…without offering an opinion…

them creating a space for enthusiastic agreement only since they have plenty of enthusiastic disagreement elsewhere

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah that's fine but as a result they're self segregating and showing hostility to their allies. It's a mixed bag, so to speak.

Perfect is a pretty evil enemy of good… and we think we’re doing the right thing by being sticklers

If I had a nickel for every time one person got mad at another for not being as far left as them by a difference of a single millimeter, I’m sure I’d have like a buck over the past couple years.

Those are probably straight people trying to convince everyone else of how much they believe in the cause
