Seeing the liberty hub head mod get chased out because of an honest mistake is pretty fucking disheartening. Liberty hub was one of the only places that was free of the reddit brainworms that infest almost every lemmy instance because of liberty hub’s aggressive modding.

All of the people celebrating him being chased out have been banned from liberty hub for very valid reasons, whether they were very argumentative or genocide apologists. Seriously. Look up the modlog of the people actually celebrating it.

I could put up with 196’s bullshit by just blocking them and hoping none of their frequent posters wandered into spaces i took part in but the fact that non-voters is still allowed to run when it’s very clearly just meant to be a place to post content that’s incendiary towards people who hold political beliefs that don’t line up with mindgoblin’s as a reaction to mindgoblin being banned from liberty hub for being incredibly argumentative is honestly pretty gross.

I’m just gonna pass mod of the comms i manage to someone i can sorta hope to handle it.

I’m too fucking old and not terminally online enough to put up with this, i’m clearly not the target demographic. Good fucking luck

    After reading some of Grail’s comments I have a really hard time believing that Grail is not a troll. Treating “wrong” capitalisation as misgendering seems crazy to me.

      Unfortunately I have no trouble buying that they’re completely serious.

      But that sincerity is damn near the only difference between those demands and “attack helicopter” bullshit.

      Some people have mistaken the focus on pronoun choice for an invitation to make up whatever they want. Nevermind any discussion of gender - those aren’t pronouns. Arbitrary labels are called nouns. A label unique to you is called a name. Pronouns are generic stand-ins for those. Key word: generic. English only has four kinds. Three of them are appropriate for living persons. Take your pick.

      If we’re going to play what-if and deliberately modify the language, why the fuck would we make it more gendered? Everybody gets a “them.” Problem solved. Let’s spend our energy finding a second-person plural besides “y’all.”
