Hey, you're new to lemmy.
Some advice.
It's one thing to point out bad acts, it's another to make recommendations. You're here saying to use .ml, and if that's your opinion, that's fine. But you've missed a lot if you're making that recommendation based on mods/admins stances on trans issues and rights.
You simply haven't had this account long enough to be making recommendations at all tbh, but you really gotta do your research before doing so. Lemmy.ml, for all the good it has, is also run by some people that have a track record om trans rights that's dubious to some degree or another. Even if the fediverse C/ is moderated by someone that isn't dubious, it's still a strange recommendation to be making here.
You do you, but you're likely to end up mixed in drama if you keep diving in head first without due diligence.
Idk, I gotta say eff that. There’s no ‘too new to lemmy’ to be calling out transphobia and warning people on the …. Trans lemmy about it…? I’d say call out transphobes no matter how new or old or well versed in fedi you are.
Go back and re-read please.
I was talking about making recommendations being a bad idea for a noob.
