The community c/[email protected] states in the sidebar it’s a community for leftists and post leftists, but if you actually look at the posts the mods are making, it’s almost nothing but trolling and telling people not to vote in the general election.

This rhetoric is especially dangerous to trans people, who this instance is supposed to be a safe space for, and West Bank Palestinians. If the USA elects a fascist president, there is guaranteed to be multiple genocides of society’s most vulnerable groups, in addition to what the US is already doing in Gaza.

The mods on Liberty Hub openly troll their users and ban people for advocating left wing or harm reducing positions. The only action that is allowed on the sub is advocating political inaction in the face of genocide, taking a centrist position with regards to open fascism.

This community has absolutely no place on Blahaj Zone and should be removed by the admins.

      Making fun of people who try to shame me into killing myself is my coping mechanism for being shamed and told to kill myself. I agree, it’s gross that such a situation has even arisen. But it’s not like ignoring transphobia is going to help.

            I’m a trans person that has struggled with suicidal thoughts/depression for a long time. I also oppose genocide, although I don’t like telling people how to vote.

            Your ‘joke’ has a pretty clear message to people like me, and I don’t like it. But I see it very often. I don’t really mind when it’s from some alt right bro on reddit, but it hurts a little more coming from a queer space.

            You should find other ways of making your point, or else you’re just doing a more wordy 48% meme.

              It seems you’ve already made up your mind that deconstructing and condemning transphobia is transphobic, so maybe it would be best for your mental health if you avoided posts where we tell transphobes to fuck off.

                You are really terrible. I don’t like telling personal details online, but I thought maybe it would help you see that you’re being insensitive. Instead, you just imply that I’m crazy and transphobic.

                  Would you understand the meme better is the used the SpongeBob meme to relay their sarcasm in that post. I’m trans and get the joke they are trying to make. People that say don’t vote are privileged or ignorant of the harm that trump will do to everyone that’s not white, straight, and well off financially.
