also our wonderful admin kaity did what the lemmy devs couldn’t and nuked the dm spam :)
Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?

Youre absolutely welcome to join Blahaj zone. Our wonderful administration team (both of whom are women) bans misogyny whenever it comes around to our communities. The mods for our main communities share a very aggressive moderation policy.

It really seems like instance admins tend to do a much better job with a lot of stuff on here than the core devs. Its a shame that forking would take as much work as it would.

well some of the devs are too busy arguing over which authoritarian boot tastes the best, all under the guide of leftism, so yeah I imagine the bar isn’t exactly high
Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Pfft, I’d say overly aggressive to a fault. It’s not a good thing when they’re banning people for a passing comment where the worst offence is “gatekeeping” rather than something that matters.

Probably the … fourth-worst well known instance. Idk if that’s a good suggestion.

As much as I appreciate the community and users, there are (or at least were) serious moderation problems on Blahaj, I did not feel safe there when I tried it a year or two ago.
LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days ago
I definitely cannot agree. I encourage anyone who has any issues with moderation to make a post in the Blahaj meta community. Ada and Kaity have been spectacular and have responded to every issue I have come across. There are limits, they can’t preemptively prevent any kind of moderation issue but they respond quickly.

They also ban real users instead of the people literally calling their gender “dragonfucker” and “attack helicopter”
The blahaj admins are trolls
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I give Ada a lot of credit. In the early days, I had the following interaction:
Some of those professionally offended people took a misleading screenshot of my response and started screaming about “chasers”.
Ada did an admin post to the community backing me up and calling those idiots out.
So unless she’s changed a lot, I don’t think she’s a troll. It would have been easy to go with the mob but she stuck up for me.

Still could be TERFS.
I don’t have any knowledge of that instance, so I don’t want to put anything on them. That thought just came across reading your comment.
I have made a mental remark in the past that the posts and users on this instance are better treated from afar, though.

It’s pretty harsh to just casually suggest that a person be a TERF without any specific evidence.

They also turn a blind eye to misandry.
Irelephant@lemm.ee 6 days ago
You are part of the reason lemmy is unpopular with women.
callyral@pawb.social 6 days ago
i dont understand, please explain further. if blahaj mods have ignored misandry, that would be a bad thing. hate is generally regarded as bad, and misandry is hatred of men. therefore, misandry should be generally regarded as bad.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 days ago
If women have to be misandristic, then I’m quite happy to exclude bigots

The pronoun was just “drag”. PJ is the one who kept calling them “dragonfucker”. You can go read dragonriders comments instead of just repeating gossip.

They imply the fucker part themselves, it’s part of their troll
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 5 days ago
They are a troll and you are enabling them to harrass your community.
sudo@programming.dev 5 days ago
They were already banned for other trolling behavior, just not because they used neopronouns. Please get an actual bearing on reality.

i mean, if they’re doing it as a haha funny, i see no harm, but if they’re also being assholes, i think that takes precedent. You aren’t legally required to fill in your gender tagging appropriately so.
TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
They are an asshole though, a serial pot stirring drama seeking troll that gets people banned for reacting to their ragebait. Yeah I identify as a refurbished ebike and you must relearn English to refer to me, and you only rather not because you agree with literal genocide. Funny!

lmao good meme, sounds like a mess ngl.
boonhet@lemm.ee 6 days ago
I haven’t seen the attack helicopter and the joke is pretty damn old tbh, but drag at least is/was kinda funny. Drag’s profile specified that drag’s pronoun is “drag” in not just third, but also first and second person, which is an interesting concept. Drag also stayed in character in drag’s posts. Drag didn’t ever really bother people with the whole thing IMO.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days ago
yeah, it’s a dead beat joke, it’s come around to the point now where you can do it ironically and nobody cares. Though i guess you could still just be an asshole at that point lmao.
