This post is “FYI only” for blahaj lemmy members. It is not a debate, and is not intended for non blahaj lemmy users to weigh in and offer opinions.
I recently received reports of a feddit.uk user espousing transphobia. Specifically, this was a feddit.uk user refusing to use the word cis, repeating the “adult human female” dog whistle, and claiming that trans women are not women. I approached a member of the feddit.uk admin team and raised my concerns and sought clarification of their stance on posts like this, where the transphobia is mostly dogwhistles, and “civil disagreement” on the validity of trans folk.
I was told by the feddit.uk admin that their preferred response is this kind of transphobia is to “sort it out through discussion and voting”. However, the comments in question are currently more upvoted than downvoted, and little “sorting out” has occurred. The posts remain in place.
At this point, the admin stopped responding to my messages despite being active elsewhere on lemmy. When it became clear they were ignoring my messages and had no intention of removing the posts in question, I made the decision to defederate the instance.
I know some folk agree with the feddit.uk admins approach of pushback through discussion and voting, but this instance is not designed to be that kind of space. Blahaj lemmy is meant to be a place where we can avoid the rampant transphobia universally visible on nearly every other social media platform, and where we can exist without needing to debate our right to do so.
Read The Parable of the Nazi Bar.
How is this relevant?
Did you read the alleged offending text? It’s not transphobic, let alone Nazi.
Leni is clown but yeah content in question hardly warrants all this drama. The main value here is seeing blaha mods getting this bent out of shape over it.
The over reach is inappropriate. On reddit, we would never be privy to any of this. Fedi has brought a lot of light about how these clowns operate.
Modding like this is censorship which should be reserved for criminal issues and actual trolling.
Sorry, who is Leni?
I wouldn’t leave it to just trolling and illegal stuff. Spamming obvious propaganda, shitting up a digital space with dumb bullshit (doesn’t have to political, just distracting and irrelevant), commercial spam, baiting users to piss them off. There are many situations were mod actions are justified.
But this is definitely not the case.

Leni is another hadnle that’s easier to spell
I think trolling covers most of what you listed but I definitely missed commercial spam. I forgot about since this ain’t reddit. But yeah that’s definitely deserves a ban.
How have I done any of that?
I don’t think you are trolling. You are just off. Hence why I do not support you being censored.
You should have the ability to express yourself if this is your real opinions. Content itself is clown grade tho
May I ask how so?

This covers your body of work extensively.
For me personally, seeing youu take these asinine positions while getting your panties bunched over st Luigi doing lords work.
There not logical coherence to much of it either, well except for bootlicking the rich
Got it.
Yeah, I guess most of what I listed does fall under trolling.
I just hope other instances don’t follow BLZ on this issue. It is completely unjustified.
Someone who has had a mix of things in her past that she regrets but made up for and things that are easy to take out of context or exaggerate (and who has had people follow her everywhere who don’t care which is which because they want to blemish her as much as possible), with many of the examples you were given having been removed by rule enforcers on the basis of going against genuineness, if that serves to indicate you fell for others’ dishonesty.
This a social media platform and leni is a mentally unstable person.
Behavior from blaha is more telling than whatever stupid shit leni says.
Nobody takes this person seriously… He ain’t a hitler in bar in bavaria and y’all need to learn how to spot threat actors because excessive censorship is how trump got elected ;)
There is one for a boy who cried wolf ;)
Other of Aesop’s Fables you should read:
The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
The Four Oxen and the Lion
The One-Eyed Doe
The Wolf and the Kid
The Horse, Hunter, and Stag
What is it with you and your grudge against me? All because I listened to people higher than me and temporarily removed you from a community for trying to dog whistle that Luigi guy (or is this based on year-old claims that have fallen apart in the face of discussion). You’re not even removed anymore, so who again is demonstrating what kind of demeanor here?
