@Wester_Hare the argument being made is that they believe that an abuser would be given special treatment.

which is basically just tantamount to saying without proof that the current mods/admins are either collaborators or abusers themselves.

this is once again a case of someone saying "trans women are inherently abusers and we need to break up their communities in order to protect themselves from themselves" it comes in many forms, but so often it is simply "trans femme spaces are cults" which is the original slander laid out against the instance.

yet another instance admin is doing the transmisogyny dance

here we have Aurynn Shaw of cloudisland.nz regurgitating the ancient talking points of attempting to hold trans women accountable for crimes they did not commit because of a belief in carceralism.

the issue Aurynn here has is that an instance does not wish to follow the tenants of KYLR and instead might want to seek a healthy solution which results in safety for everyone.

And as we will see in the second image, because they were not allowed to do that a lot of other people might be made less safe as a result as the abuser in question has been confirmed popped up on a different instance whom Aurynn will not defed from. Surprise! (not really - it was never about the abuser it was about controlling trans women)

Aurynn is not going to defed from mastodon.social because 1) her complaint is apparently about a metaphysical construct surrounding allowing people to exist (ie: refusing to be part of a lynch mob), and 2) her goal is to control trans women as is the motivation of all the other defederators of eightpoint, as we saw recently with tech.lgbt.

We call that transmisogyny.

Aurynn - you desperately want someone to call you a fascist, which is why I won't do it. Instead you should grow the fuck up and stop listening to fascists.

@Wester_Hare exactly.
the realm of petty tyrants.

I've been saying this for a year now, and I'll probably never stop.

mastodon isn't viable as it currently is, and people think that being model citizens will save them from the wrath of bigots.

little do people realise that one instance is acting as a fucking firewall to that and they're desperately working towards their own doom.

@Wester_Hare because it was never about eightpoint honestly, it was always about trying to punish trans women for existing.

it is the sole reason I've been so vocal about it and why I keep tabs on this shit.

It's fascism.
and the tech.lgbt people are gullible enough idiots to swallow it hook line sinker and rod.

@Wester_Hare yes, pretty much.

same excuse kolektiva, the instance where there are war crime deniers and open fascists and abusers running around, used.

they don't seem to be defederating from them for some odd reason.
