Seeking LGBTQ+ friendly Lemmy servers. (lemmy.world)

So it sounds like Lemmy.world might be headed in the same direction as Meta in regards to moderation. https://lemmy.world/post/24135976 Although this post is not as explicit about allowing mal/disinformation about LGBTQ+ people as Meta's, it seems to have the same effect of disallowing moderation of hate speech implicitly.

So, anyone know any Lemmy servers that are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly or better, have explicit protections in place against hate speech against us as well as other minorities? I'm looking to move my profile.

Yeah, I tend to believe that when you're fighting a war, you have to pick your mayor's battles.

The battle for basic respect of gender labels is too important to split forces into battling for something that doesn't advance the war.

Neopronouns in general are a vital part of that war. Individual pronouns are essentially battling for a nickname, and that's just not worth fighting for as a group.

But that only matters in the fighting of that war, which is external to blahaj. Blahaj is the place where people can not have to fight every step of the way. That works because admins and mods do the fighting for the people in that space. Within blahaj, it isn't about the more dire issues. It's about building a post-war society for the people that need it.

In other words, if it happens outside of that space, then drag fighting for individual pronouns is a distraction from bigger issues. I would argue that it is something that can be a net positive, for the reasons stated in my longer comment. But it is a distraction. When it happens inside that space, it isn't up for debate; that space is a shelter from the war, and anyone not willing to just not fight and argue the point can GTFO. That's why I no longer debate the point in blahaj, I don't even voice my doubts about the subject there. It isn't my space, and the folks running it are drawing their line for a good reason
