      Anti-communist Vaushite chaser instance spun off from r/196. We were federated with them for a minute until we realized how intolerable they were.

        Well, it started as a small kind of libby trans friendly space on Lemmy for just a handful of users that was a spin off of the blahaj.zone misskey instance on fedi (mastodon basically) but because of the Reddit stuff it swelled in size and then r/196 asked if they could migrate to it and suddenly the entire culture of the instance was up ended by chaser vaushites.

        also it’s become the 1 token trans friend for all the Lemmitors that agrees with their shitty opinions because they can’t bear to acknowledge that the instance with the most trans users on is hexbear

      Just for a little clarification… Blahaj is also the name of the shark plushie at IKEA that has become sort of a symbol of trans support. That predates the cringe lemmy instance you’re talking about (which I had never even heard of until today, but the shark thing has been a phenomenon for years)
