I very much do not want beef with @nutomic@lemmy.ml. I want clarity.

I decided to actually tag him because maybe seeing a voice that's "new to him" would get him to respond since he hasn't responded yet anywhere (as of writing) and I didn't see anyone else having tagged him.

I commented in public because I want to be transparent about what I say and what he says in the low chance he responds, so that there's no mucking about with screenshots and "leaking private messages".

I want him to understand that this is a serious issue that could jeopardize his life's work and not just someone trying to get "dunk points" on him.

It'd probably help if you told them about blahaj

Already have, lol. So the instance is trans-inclusive, but how can I convince them that the software is trans-inclusive and isn't systemically biased against them? They're not technical people; I've tried explaining the difference between federated and corporate social media.
