Seeing the liberty hub head mod get chased out because of an honest mistake is pretty fucking disheartening. Liberty hub was one of the only places that was free of the reddit brainworms that infest almost every lemmy instance because of liberty hub's aggressive modding.

All of the people celebrating him being chased out have been banned from liberty hub for very valid reasons, whether they were very argumentative or genocide apologists. Seriously. Look up the modlog of the people actually celebrating it.

I could put up with 196's bullshit by just blocking them and hoping none of their frequent posters wandered into spaces i took part in but the fact that non-voters is still allowed to run when it's very clearly just meant to be a place to post content that's incendiary towards people who hold political beliefs that don't line up with mindgoblin's as a reaction to mindgoblin being banned from liberty hub for being incredibly argumentative is honestly pretty gross.

I'm just gonna pass mod of the comms i manage to someone i can sorta hope to handle it.

I'm too fucking old and not terminally online enough to put up with this, i'm clearly not the target demographic. Good fucking luck

At the end of the day, Ada never intended this instance to be explicitly in favor of any particular political view. Its a queer friendly instance first and foremost. Queer people aren't always going to agree on every political subject. Obviously the degree to which room can be made for different political views has it's limits. Fascism and conservativism clearly have no place here, for example, but that's really not what this is about.

Do I think MindTraveller's behavior is abusive and inflammatory? Probably. But whether they should be banned for it isn't my decision, nor is it an easy one when from their point of view LibertyHub is causing active harm to the queer community. I don't agree with that opinion, but they should be allowed to express it in a respectful manner.

I expressed a similar sentiment elsewhere in this thread about Grail.

To be honest, I mostly agree with you about MindTraveller, but I think your criticism of Ada is too harsh.
