For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

Blahaj mods (especially the one modding ghazi, transgender and 196) are the worst kind of mods. They promote blatant misinformation, remove posts calling said misinformation out, and they ban people and label them transphobes despite there being no transphobic words or implications whatsoever in your comments.

Just block the entire instance and move on. There are better instances that better represent the lgbt community.

Source: my ban message is the same as yours, and I have never said or implied anything remotely transphobic.

How do you see why you were banned from a page? I was banned from 196 too and I have absolutely no idea what I could have said.

What I hate about blocking instances is that I no longer seem to get inbox notifications when a member of the instance comments on something in response to me, outside of that instance.

Like, my beef isn't with blahaj users, and I don't want to unintentionally ignore them because their admin/s are nutballs.

Unless it’s hexbear in which case the users are also nuts

Block the specific subs, it's more work but fine grained enough to see all comments that you can interact with.

I can tell you that a lot of the blahaj users hold the same mentality.

What are the better instances?
