[reclaimed slur]

once again, the role of the tranny is to suffer so that other people have their needs addressed. even when we're the targets du jour, we're asked to step aside and let others have the floor.

[fedi meta, subpost]

if your solution to the problems caused by centralized moderation on Bluesky is "let's implement centralized moderation on fedi," then you're not thinking about the problem.

seriously, this is a terrible fucking idea that's only going to replicate abuse.

[fedi meta, subpost]

I've been the target of all sorts of callouts, misgendering, antisemitism, and (trans)misogyny (among other things) on this network. a healthy portion of it has been from the Very Important People who supposedly want fedi to be a safer place for marginalized people.

we do […]

so, let me get this straight.

Bluesky is under fire because their CEO is throwing her weight behind prominent transphobes, to the point of literally inventing a transphobic dogwhistle.

the mod team has been banning people who are nothing more than mildly critical of prominent TERFs and Nazis […]

I feel like there's a general assumption that, when a number of trans women and transfeminine people exist openly on a social media website, we're doing so without facing the sort of abuse, bullying, and disposability culture that we often complain about.

after all, if we're having so much […]

some people are telling on themselves when they complain about e.g. having to put things behind CWs here.

"the two to five seconds that it takes to put my post behind a CW are more important than the mental health of the traumatized, marginalized people around me"

so many people's imaginations for moderation schemes seem to be collectively stuck on: "let's centralize authority in the hands of a clique of cops, except like, let's also make sure they're _good_ cops"

fucking vanguardist-ass logic

like, if you want more centralized moderation on fedi, then your options are:

* professionalized, corporatized moderation (congratulations, you've just re-created bluesky)

* a team of volunteers (picture the Ro/Pixie axis getting power over a huge chunk of fedi, because that's where this […]

fedi's culture of accessibility for disabled, visually impaired, and mentally ill people is honestly one of the best things about this place - and I don't want that to change. disabled and mad folks will never be a priority to corporate interests. if you can't practice a little disability […]

it always sucks to be reminded that radlib men will use Black and brown transfems as a rhetorical tool - a faceless, virtuous foil to the evil, racist White Trans Woman - up until the point where they start talking about transmisogynoir.

and then, all of a sudden, they're ignored, deracialized […]
