A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

This community is supportive of DIY HRT. Unsolicited medical advice or caution being given to people on DIY will result in moderator action.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

Is it something my instance mods can fix, would them defederating a long list of transphobic instances stop transphobic comments or do the instances who's communities I post in need to block more instances?

I'm referring to bigotry that occurs on the same instance regardless of the source.

That isn't what is happening here

Defederating helps if the bigotry comes from accounts registered on different instances

This is what's happening here.

And yeah, trolls can just register a new account, but if they're doing it on an instance with active admins, they don't last long.

Thanks for clarifying the situation. In that case, yeah, defederation pretty much solves it.

And yeah, trolls can just register a new account, but if they’re doing it on an instance with active admins, they don’t last long.

Which should be standard but unfortunately instances aren't created equal. At least with the instance you're running, it seems to be going well. Keep up the good work.
