A month ago, I made a post asking that c/twoXchromosomes be removed from the instance due to known concerns with the name in regards to trans people, and the mods’ stated intention not to compromise on the name. Since then, the community’s mods have gone inactive. u/Justincase_2008@lemmy.world has only two posts on the website, and the most recent one is 2 months ago. u/GreatWhiteBuffalo41 has not commented on the site in 22 days, and has not been active on c/twoXchromosomes for 2 months. There have been 4 posts to the community in the time since my post about the community name a month ago. The modlog shows no mod activity in 2 months.

I would like to appeal to the admins that I may take over the community, set it to restricted mode, and make the only post on the community a sticky explaining the problems with the name and redirecting to other feminist communities across the Fediverse.

    That post from 14 years ago makes it clear they knew the name was controversial and would attract transphobes 14 years ago, and they still did nothing about it. As they say, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Which means: Good intentions don’t mean anything if paired with bad actions.

    Also I know your reputation from elsewhere and I would appreciate it if you not comment on any of my posts, please. Your comment here is really solidifying your reputation and I just don’t want to deal with you.

      Excuse me? I was just trying to add some context, I was not trying to make a call on whether or not they should stick around here.

      I have no idea what reputation you’re alluding too but I don’t think it’s fair or reasonable to ask me to not comment on your posts. I’m a disabled trans woman, I do not have the spare spoons to remember your specific username as well as check the OP of every post I reply too. It’s ableist to suggest that I should.

        I asked you not to reply to my posts, and I blocked you, and the first thing you did was reply. No means no. I’ve seen your transphobic comments elsewhere and I do not want to discuss anything with you. If you reply to this comment I will report you for harassment.

          You have gone around the fediverse calling people transphobic, including me now, based off your personal definition of transphobia. I’m a trans person, I’m non-binary and you’re trying to shutdown my ability to reply. You have been called out by me and others and have ignored what we’ve said. You don’t get to stop all opposition to your controversial posts by telling people they aren’t allowed to reply to you anymore.

          Edit: Hey slrpnk.net admins, you should message ada at Blahaj about this user. She’s the admin there.
