What the hell is this? Trans person here. This is not the thread to start concern trolling about trans issues. If you really want a space to talk freely about your concerns you can start a community or even your own instance.
They were brief, another user asked for a longer version. The user even intro'ed their comment with "my reticence to speak freely", and then went ahead explaining since the other user seemed genuinely interested.
In a way this whole episode including your participation is very relevant to "avoid as the user base grows". I also don't think concern troll fits here, or maybe we use different definitions.
Personally, I wish people could get along with each other despite having different points of view. That's one major, major value I see in platforms like this. I want to be exposed to views challenging my bubble.
Someone asked me, repeatedly, about my position. I asked them if they were sure they wanted to read the answer. Why are you accusing me of derailing and not the person who pressed for an answer?
I understand that on Lemmy you are able to block users. I suggest you block me so you won't have to see this comment. That seems like an appropriate response for a comment which offends you.
Yeah, this is just run of the mill transphobic sealioning. They even complain about reddit having been run by tankies and repeated the "current thing" conservative reactionary trope. I'm totally fine if this kind of person doesn't feel welcome here.
He was asked multiple times to answer questions.
I hate to say it but they were asked - what they have to say may be unappealing but someone did tell them to say it.
He's literally responding to a user who said
So he explained his perspective. Concern trolling lmao.
If you want a space where you don't encounter other perspectives, there are plenty of spaces like that both in the real world and on the internet.
we will have to purge the reactionaries over time. reddit is a choleric shithole
'you know, the thing i hated about reddit is there wasnt enough queerphobic and racist pedophiles!' - every other redditor coming here
