There is a spector haunting Lemmy, the spector of trans people that disagree with you.

Liberals on Lemmy are ridiculously fast to let fly all sorts of conspiracy theories if it means discrediting any trans people to the left of them. Worse still, is that this behaviour is reinforced by Lemmy mods, look at this ban Cowbee copped for the crime of being allegedly uncivil to this transphobe:

Every day, I'm glad for you fuckers building at least this tiny queer safespace on the internet. Death to the cis, etc.

Just read the libs’ reaction to this interaction on sh.itjust.works (TW: lots of transphobia) and sh.it’s just absolutely awful. Just and endless stream of victim-blaming and doubling down on their transphobic crap.

It’s pretty much just the top comment that’s somewhat decent (except the last paragraph). The rest of the users (including the fucking admin) have no shame at all handwaving all the bigotry away, some even saying stuff that’s way more transphobic than Yerbouti’s.

Fuck this is depressing! madeline-sadeline

It's truly depressing seeing the continuous right-wing slide of Lemmy.world. It isn't surprising, of course, but they'd rather ban people calling out transphobia for being "aggressive" than address the transphobes, and that says a lot about their moderators actual stances.

Your comment wasn't even that aggressive. It is fully within the bounds of civil discourse by their standards. You've clearly pinned them as transphobic in a way they can't even reconcile, so instead of dealing with this contradiction you've presented, they bury you. It's everything they claim places like Russia or China are about. The federation model of decentralizing services really does lead to little fiefdoms run by petty lords.

Edit: But we love our petty lords here, don't we folks!? alphys-anxious

100%. They side with transphobes when it's Leftists calling them out, because it helps obscure the nature of their particular method of censorship. Now, censorship can be a good thing when combatting misinformation and bigotry, of course, but that's the opposite of .world's methods here.

Defederation is the most you can do to censor an entire group of people. It looks less obvious because you don't see removed comments, but it shuts out speech. Leftists are generally more up front and honest about what they censor and why, while .world and sh.itjust.works try to pretend that they don't censor at all.
