violet08new instance, same me🫶
What’s the difference between instances? I was under the impression there was no functional difference?
Different policies and rules mostly. Lemmy.ml has a ton of weirdly pro Russia and China admins on it. Very tankie Stalinist. blahaj.zone Is really nicely queer friendly. dbzer0.com has a cool anarchist hacker culture etc.
For me the problem I have with lemmy.ml is that that if you disagree with Russia’s invasion on one news community you’ll find yourself banned from the Linux community.
MinnesotaGoddamI have found blahaj to be… Exclusionary in the usual lgtqa ways.
Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.
Which explains why they hate bi men, nonbinary folk and intersex people so persistently.
I’m sorry. I’m not on blahaj.
Bigotry towards bi men and non-binary folk seems very much not like them.
Are you a big man or non-binary person? If so I would be interested hearing what sort of discrimination you faced at blahaj. I recommend them quite a bit but would rather not if they are hateful in that way.
First, do I have to be a bi man or nonbinary to care about bigotry toward them?
No, but I’ve seen my fair share of concern trolling.
I am neither a bi man nor nonbinary and care, but I value my time.
Okay, so a fair amount of what I’ve seen is bi erasure, and as far as nonbinary bigotry, it’s pretty similar. Nonbinary folk don’t truly exist, whatever that means, and are either male or female kind of how bisexual folk are whatever their current relationship is. The women’s stuff community on blahaj professes to be Trans and nonbinary inclusive but if you are not explicitly female they will harass you with a candy coated “fuck off, you are not female enough”. Not really seen much on else blahaj but have from blahaj users.
Complete AOL blast bullshit, but I figured it wouldn’t take Nazis long to take over blahaj. It’s the sort of thing they’d find funny.
i’ve commented several times, sometimes explicitly saying i’m nonbinary, and their sexual harrassment bot repeatedly pings me. I’m now banned there because i lost my temper and said fuck off to the bot. after being sexually harassed by the bot. which, you know, is a normal response to being sexually harassed, but the instance admins like their premeditated sexual harassment bot, so the ban stands.
