News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
If someone does transphobia, I instance ban them whether or not they did transphobia in one of my communities.
Eh. Blahaj and beehaw kind of have an obligation to over-protect their instances and users.
That is not “over-protection”. Trans rights are human rights.
I'm being supportive of that.
Also I’m blocking you for being complicit.
I believe they were trying to say that it's the right thing for the Blahaj instance to do, because many of the users there belong to groups that are frequently targeted by hateful people. They likely meant to say something like 'extra protective' not overprotective.
You do you, I guess.
I'm not trans but, thank you. Everyone deserves to feel safe being who they genuinely are (except Nazis and slavers, they deserve help being better, if they'll accept it).
That's pathetic.
You’re projecting
Found the meme the parent comment reminds me of lol
Good for you. It's important for your self esteem to feel strong and powerful.
In the context, this implies "Ada is solely doing it for the sake of her own self esteem". I don't think so; a simpler and better explanation is that she's building a safe space for trans people, and the sort of people who'd spout transphobic shite elsewhere would make that environment unsafe.
So the situation might look on the surface similar to the one in Reddit, but deep down it's nothing alike:
Apples and oranges.
Well put
it's important to make sure regular violators of social contract are properly ostracized from communities where their toxicity is unwanted.
