Please stop defederating from general purpose news services, just because they sometimes do a transphobia.

I'm trans, and I'm telling you its worse for me to cut off my news sources than to read those news sources misgender people or whatever.

Seriously, come the fuck on, we just talked about this. Stop making the fediverse into some arcane and impenetrable little clique powered by unwritten rules and endless purity tests.

This is about #bbc, among others

@jenniferplusplus So there are some voices of sanity here besides the reactive pitchfork wielders who get triggered every time into backing themselves into an ever-shrinking corner. Existence is also always a co-existence and some people seem not to realise. Anyone on Masto (and elsewhere in the Fedi) can block anyone they like. Even whole instances if they want. But campaigns urging "defederation" are just the Twitterisation of the Fediverse. People can make their own choices and we don't help them do that by always corralling them to do what we think they should do.
