Btw, bigotry does not need to be conscious or intentional or malicious to be real and cause harm, and you can be transphobic even when you’re not trying to or believe you’re are not

    Lemmy’s 196 has been way more liberal than Reddit 196, and I’m really not a fan of it. Some of these comment sections are full of the “Not all men!” Crowd and it’s annoying AF.

      Bsck when i used reddit i was told on 196 that I was being misogynistic when I, a trans man, talked about how I was receiving death threats irl after the Nashville shooting.

        196 has always had its disappointing moments, I’m really sorry you had to go through that though. The amount of transphobia that case brought out of people was really hard to live with out in the Midwest.

      I think it’s because 196 here is “bigger” in relative terms, so it shows up more in c/all, so you get more people from other places getting exposed.

            I’m not surprised. I mean after seeing him clarify what he meant to say, I don’t really think it’s the end of the world. Even without that though, I wouldn’t care about the comment if it wasn’t posted by a mod afterwards. The thread that followed has so much fully transphobic shit in it and I find it disappointing that a mod would create the space for that.
