Thank you for you hard work Links, ya did well. I hope the community somehow stays unapologetically leftist.
The smaller the community the bigger the drama 🔥🔥🔥

So I disagree with non-voting and encouraging others to, so I’ve removed this sub from my feed a while ago (until I heard about this drama).
But I’ve had a debate with Links in a comment section before and it ended amicably. We reached some understanding over the issue and the feelings of hopelessness. While we didn’t change each other’s mind it was one of the few disagreements I had online that ended positively.
Also as a trans woman, typos happens! If someone has a track record supporting trans people some benefit of the doubt should be given first.
When the typo is a matter of capitalization, and the skepticism over whether or not that’s a reasonable expectation gets construed into being full-blown transphobia, I can’t help but feel like things have gotten a bit out of hand.
Just reading through the threads (you can find them on the Blahaj Lemmy Meta sub) has been quite disheartening and I feel like a lot of language of inclusion is being weaponized and limit tested in a very harmful way.
I had my issues with LOC and LibertyHub but we also came to a mutual understanding in DMs and, while we still disagreed, I found myself in a position where I actually understood the point of the sub (regardless of whether or not I thought it was a good addition to the instance) and was able to make my peace with it.
I really wish him stepping down were under less egregious circumstances but honestly, were I in a similar situation I’d probably find myself doing the same thing. Even having been a complete fly on the wall third party, I feel like the debacle has been a cognitohazard. I’m racking my head on a few concepts I thought I had worked out pretty well. I’m not sure if it’s some level of reactionary gut sentiment welling up from within or just over how much the whole situation feels like a form of Crybullying. Maybe it’s both.
