Apparently all the harassment our mods get? They did it themselves! Or our admins? Or we’re all alts? Shockingly their lies about us are never exactly the same.
There isn’t a meanwhile on feddit it seems, and this place will spread the news fast enough.
one of the ‘day old’ ‘burner accounts’ they’re alluding to is introvertturtle@lemmy.zip. it is a 5 month old account that first got banned from .ml and dbzer0 for being transphobic; then they show up in meanwhileongrad the next day to complain about authoritarian moderation and tankies. they were even getting plenty of traction for the usual shitting on .ml/hexbear and calling people tankies:
but then they were way too open about their transphobia, which got their comments moderated and a 3 day ban.
mind you this kind of transphobia is not particularly anomalous over on meanwhileongrad and is usually tolerated. here’s a highly upvoted thread from last year where the OP is complaining about another user getting banned for transphobia for saying that they don’t believe a large portion of hexbear users are trans. the OOP said a lot of other gross shit too, which was part of why they got banned.
‘i don’t like someones politics so i don’t believe they’re trans and i’m not respecting them’ is essentially the same sentiment as ‘someone was rude to me so i’m not respecting pronouns’.
that particular kind of transphobia has been a pattern of behavior over there for some time, not just burner accounts.
