      mods there have historically gone overboard with bans. One person said “dude is a gender neutral word” in a completely different instance and blahaj mods banned them cuz “transphobic” lmfao

      Check out the whole track record on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

      they even had to block this topic because of how frequent it is.

      So it’s not out of the question they see this and think one is appropriating pride month

        They didn’t say “dude is a gender neutral word” they said “anyone who doesn’t think dude is a gender neutral word needs to get over it”.

        I just read through that, I can definitely see them banning OP and labeling all of this as transphobia/gatekeeping. I added the instance to my block list, not wanting to play random purity tests with bad faith mods
