LMAO don't drag me into this, I do what I do because I consider .ml and the rest of the Tankie Triad to be a threat to the long term growth and survivability of the Lemmy-verse at large
Blahaj doesn't promote dangerous political rhetoric, hold authoritarian regimes to a gold standard or enforce a specific narrative through moderation.
This was, at worst, a bad moderation decision that @[email protected] has every right to vent about

No, apparently, I have no right to vent about it, and no one should talk about it, and maybe if I wasn't performing thoughtcrime on another instance entirely by defending myself against accusations of transphobia, Blahaj wouldn't have been forced to call a trans user a transphobe and a fascist and dogpile them until they left the Fediverse.
Why am I being treated as the one who started this, again? "Roll over and don't speak up when you're called a transphobe on dbzer0, or you might hurt the feelings of the Blahaj admins"
It's insane how many people bend over backwards for this shit.
Perhaps you'd like to tell me how many times I've posted about Blahaj, and in what contexts, in the past few months. I'm sure there's a torrent of unprovoked material for you to call on, and you definitely aren't just throwing shit out there because you feel the need to defend Blahaj with the rest of the clique.
If this was a Tankie place banning liberals, PJ would be so upset about it. If it was a liberal place banning Tankies, they'd be very happy and say they had it coming.
Christ, I'm gonna stop reading now. I will say, the liberal use of the term fascist and the readiness with which my fellow left leaning folks label anyone who doesn't agree with them a fascist is, to be entirely honest, outright dangerous.
People pass the term out like the right uses "woke", only difference is fascist is actually a really fucking important term for discussing the dysfunction of the world we live in right now.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist. You're entitled to thinking whoever you want is wrong, you don't have to compare them to people who systematically murdered every minority they could find until the death toll was in the millions to substantiate your dislike.
You're allowed to just say "that line of argument is gross" or "dangerous" or "wrong" without hyperbole that waters down one of the most important political terms of our lifetimes
Geeenerally when someone goes out of their way to make an entire damned post complaining about getting their arse handed to them on another instance, it's deserved.

I was in dbzer0 when I made the initial comments, in response to being called a transphobe (I contended that I was not a transphobe). I was banned by Ada, the Blahaj admin, for that. I then made a post on YePowerTrippingBastards, being somewhat miffed that I was banned from another instance entirely, one which I don't even use, for the crime of defending myself against accusations of transphobia.
The trans commenter who is leaving the Fediverse was banned, and again, this is for activity in dbzer0, by commenting on that post. They then made a post questioning the logic of that, and were subsequently accused of being a transphobe and a fascist for daring to object by Blahaj's 'brave' defenders.
You seem more upset at being denied an audience. I got banned from the entirety of .ml for a winnie the pooh comment, and the worst it's done is given me a hilarious anecdote
