So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now “free speech purism”, so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ people like he always does.

Seems from the comments that some other admins disagreed with the decision (so there were some decent people on that site!) and either left or were removed.

Not entirely surprising the whole thing, granted.

(edit)
Also, apologies as this isn’t truly reddit news but Squabblr was one of the sites frequently brought up in /r/redditalternatives so I figured this might still be relevant?

    It’s still confusing, but if you look at this post where it says that this was posted to [email protected], the URL actually goes to https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] (for me) so that’s how you’d view that instance if you were on another one. Doesn’t seem like there is a smart way for URL’s in comments to work like that though.

    Edit: Well look at that. A Bot replied with the fix.

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
