    It only really impacted me and a few others on Blahaj/196. She “swore off” the rest of Lemmy (still has it, still uses it) and said that being on Hexbear was better for her than other spaces online, and anyone disagreeing, even other trans women, were all wrong.

      I don’t understand why someone would downvote you or why this opinion would cause an impact of any kind? People say all sorts of crazy things online. Was she particularly rude, trollish or baitey?

        She thought that the group of trans people that run 196 was somehow enabling transphobia and other horrid things when we constantly removed it.

        And when we removed it, she said it was better for communication if kept things up to show the idiots.

        And then when I kept it up, she got mad at me for not instantly banning and removing them.

        Like everything 196 does was inherently a master plan where we messed with all users just for her.

        She’s banned because she constantly went “I can’t wait to leave this place” and never did. So I left the ban note along the lines of “If you want to leave, you can. You’re not, you’re harassing users and defending tankies, so take this time to breath some air.”
