Oh, I was wondering why I no longer had the option to report TERFs to a moderation list I was subbed to.

Description of a moderation list --now titled as "Hidden list"-- made by brainnotonyet.bsky.social

The description reads "trans exclusionary radical feminists who are using rightwing language to attack minority groups."
