Edit, since people are now seeing this post who did not see the the reason for it:

At the time of creating and posting this, there was an account that was created using a well known username and spamming extremly transphobic hate posts. Some users were starting to interact with this very obvious troll, so I thought it might be a good idea to generally remind people how to treat these trolls. This is not about some light hearted banter or good faith jokes, this is about trolls that are truly only about spreading hate.

      Hmm, I can’t see anything in there, if anything it just reinforces my suspicion that those are frivolous bans and deletions based on your personal political biases, because it reads as if you personally got offended and decided who should be able to say anything. You still haven’t showed otherwise. Nothing compels you to, but for what it’s worth I think we should be a little bit more restrictive about abusing moderation powers, or we are going to end up like reddit all over again.

        You can’t see the transphobia in “trans people should kill themselves” and “trans people are pedophiles”?

        All right, time to follow my own advice. Bye.

      I saw another account from the same instance spamming porn, it probably is one trolls self hosted instance the instance should probably be banned.
