Two hours ago I made a post to !libertyhub@lemmy.blahaj.zone about US politics. I had previously had a good relationship with the head moderator of this community. They’ve encouraged My political posts, and he’s removed comments by people that misgendered Me, and reminded people of My pronouns, like in this thread two days ago:
However, an hour ago in this new thread, the same moderator who was telling people to respect My capitalised pronouns uses lowercase pronouns to address Me:
And he has left up earlier comments which also seemed to misgender Me, and which I specifically pointed out:
Even as some users in the thread gender Me correctly:
I’m making this thread in the main community because since the mod has banned Me, I can no longer report the comment or leave a reply correcting the pronoun. I would like to gain the attention of @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Misgendering trans people and banning Them at the same time so They can’t do anything about it is not the kind of thing I expect to see on Blahaj. This mod is clearly 100% aware of My pronouns, and made a choice here. I suppose they could be using the general “you”, but it just doesn’t look like that, what with banning Me, telling Me My post isn’t welcome, and telling Me to go to a different community. I used to have a good rapport with this mod, they said several times that they valued My posts. I posted something he disagrees with, and now all of a sudden respecting trans people’s pronouns isn’t a priority anymore. He’s misgendering Me and they’re leaving up comments that also misgender Me. It feels targeted.
EDIT: I cannot seem to embed images. Every time I hit edit and fix the image links and press save, they change to some kind of aussie.zone image proxy link. For now I have left them as links without embedding them.
Fucking hell, @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone being blatantly transphobic the minute he disagrees with someone. WhO cOuLd HaVe PrEdIcTed THaT?
Oh yeah, I did. @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone I am begging you to ban this transphobe. When I made the original post calling for removal of this community, you said they were trans folk with a difference of opinion who needed a safe space to express their views. Well, now it’s a safe space to express transphobia. They have rules against transphobia and so you do. At the very least, change the leadership of this community to someone who doesn’t misgender trans people for supporting Biden. The context of what this community is doing is not what you thought it was when you decided to allow it. These are not innocent trans people who just have a disagreement on how to protect trans people, they are genocide supporters who use transphobic violence against those who disagree.
You said you weren’t going to get involved as long as they didn’t break the instance guidelines. Well now they are. It’s time to act. They did the thing you said there would be consequences for doing.
This is blatantly false. We openly oppose all forms of genocide and transphobia. There’s not a single post or comment defending genocide or transphobia of any kind. If there were, then they’ve been removed and the users banned.
And yet you misgender OP for saying to take action to prevent a genocide. Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.
I (hope) that this is a massive misunderstanding, I believe the problem is that the article posted says that people should simply accept Biden and be happy (I’m doing damage control here so if I’m completely wrong please correct me).
That’s not what it says. It says Biden is a genocidal asshole and a symbol of failed democracy. It sounds like you didn’t read it.
I’m desperately trying to fix the situation while trying to get a flight after the outages turned all air infrastructure non functional. I assume the problem is with it implying that lying is ok in politics?
Kindly please stop making things worse for yourself, I just woke up to this absolute disaster.
Fair enough. I’ll step aside until this is resolved. I fully trust your judgment.

I’m sorry I’m not able to moderate the community all the time, however that doesn’t mean that it deserves to be banned. I’m genuinely trying and doing what I can.
It deserves to be banned if Linkopenschest is in charge of it. Go make your own non-transphobic community, or kick this guy out of the one that already exists.
I do not have the power to remove him, if he willingly chooses to step down I will continue the community (in a less restricted manner). Until then I will continue doing my job of trying to reign in the worst parts.
