Was it their transphobia or just their general reactionary attitude?

    It was actually over ablism, one of our mods was raising the issue of their constant use of -tard and language like that on 196, and the head mod there reacted by banning them, with an abilist insult in the mod message too if I recall. It was eventually reverted, but that was enough for us to give them the boot thankfully.

    Other users had raised issues with all the chasers and the pro-chaser culture, along with their anticommunist politics, but it was officially over this afaik.

      do you think upstream lemmy would support a “filtered federation” policy? maybe allow general federation, but have off-instance posts/comments mentioning the bad words be string replaced like removed or maybe the whole post be nineteeneightyfour’d.
