    That was my experience on blahaj. I’d never been banned from a community, let alone one I’ve been an ally to before. Such a pure echo chamber that even discussing why the outside world holds the views they have, even without expressing agreement, gets you labeled a transphobe.

    Honestly, it soured me on lemmy as a whole since that was the content I had been enjoying the most.

      That’s exactly what I described above right? Queer people made a space where they can be themselves without having to justify their existence. You could not manage to behave in such space. Ergo, you were removed.

      Honestly, it soured me on lemmy as a whole since that was the content I had been enjoying the most.

      You spend zero time familiarizing yourself with the mores of the community you were frequenting. And afterward, even now, you make it all about you and your experience.

      You can see how that was never going to end well right?

      You’re not an “ally”. Whatever that even means.
