    The mods at 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone decided they didnt like the rules at Lemmy.blahaj.zone, and wanted to move to Lemmy.world.

    Lemmy.world is… We’ll just say not great for lgbtqia+, especially in consideration of the “teach the controversy” rule that was coming from the admins and is “currently being reworded”.

    Those mods closed 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, and tried to force everyone to .world. Thus was met with… Disagreement.

    They reopened 196@Lemmy.blahaj.zone, but the damage was done, and trust was lost. !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was created as the safe alternative from the mods who wanted the ability to allow problematic commenters.

    So thats about the story there.

        Can you explain how world is notbgreat for LGBT people?

        Or is this just about the whole neopronoun thing?

              Yes, because your phrasing shows your lack of care around bigotry towards people who use neopronouns. Its misgendering plain and simple, no different than if you misgendered a transwoman or transman. It should carry that same weight. And if it doesn’t then you are not a trans ally because you are not supporting trans rights, just the ones that fit within your view of normalcy. Purposely misgendering anyone for any reason is insulting, disrespectful, and harmful.

                Please take a reality check.

                I litterally just said the words “the whole neopronoun thing” to refer to the past drama about neopronouns. Now you are accusing me of being a bigot because saying those words shows “lack of care”.

                  That drama happened in part BECAUSE .world has a problem not moderating enough against transphobia.
