An admin of this instance, Nutomic, is a transphobe and has no right to be able to ban trans people from this community. (lemmy.ml)

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml @JoeBidet@lemmy.ml @cypherphunks

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

Not that I disagree with anything in this post but I would like to point out that Nutomic is, IIRC, the literal creator and dev of Lemmy itself.

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

afaik dessalines is the creator, nutomic is a co-creator and second largest contributor

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

It seems a strange distinction to say one person is a creator and another is the co-creator. Kind of by definition, that makes both people co-creators.

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think its in the direction of who owns the github repo, which defines a bit more of a strict hierarchy

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Sounds like one person is the creator, and the other is a prominent contributor. I'm just pointing out the oddness of the use of co- on only one side.

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Though to be fair, there's a good chance that your pleas are not heeded here and that the admins do close ranks (I'm hoping some form of correction occurs, becuase it's pretty obviously a petty and personal ban). Point being, you and this community may want to (if you/they aren't already) think about what you want to do should they ignore you here.

Also, in the proof you provided ... it's important to note that they banned beaver from the whole instance. You'll see bans from a whole bunch of communities as well as a general in the modlog: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=9782557

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

yeah, i'll edit that in

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago

They're a core dev, yes, but not the creator AFAIU, that's dessalines who started the project. Nutomic joined pretty early though and is a major contributor to the project yes. I think they've been happy to counter each other's behaviour whenever it made sense in the past.

He can be the president dude. If you're a Transphobe little bitch, you deserve what's coming to you.

[–] BountifulEggnog@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

edit: assumed this was a different word, gah. Leaving for context.

removed

I'm guessing what you said here, but you should think about if using such words as insults might hurt bystanders.

example of ablest languagelike could you see how calling someone a pathetic cripple might make physically handicapped people upset? Kinda similar with insulting someone's intelligence. Just something to think about.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nothing is removed for me. I’m guessing your instance bans the word “b1tc h”? Because that’s the only swear. Also fuck censorship

[–] BountifulEggnog@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Suppose it does.

You probably shouldn't evade the filter though, at least not with a spoiler.
