Here I was hoping for some ambiguous drama, and instead no, it’s just a mod starting an internet fight because he thinks he should have jurisdiction or something. Really disappointing, not juicy at all, smh
I respect and support Ada’s decision to ban that person from the instance over a meme that conflates Palestinians with Hamas, and I respect and support her decision to ban that community from the instance over the mod’s apologia of that type of content.
It might seem like a downside for people who are on that instance but in all honesty most of the users and communities they ban there are better off not interacting with.
Keep in mind that blahaj.zone is meant to be a safe-space instance for LGBTQ and marginalized groups, maybe not to the extreme and isolationist degree beehaw is but they still aspire to be a safe-space, and that means content from bad actors and malicious people will and should be banned and filtered out.
Honestly, I was against the ban of the whole community until Nuke doubled down and the other mods rallied around him. Now I’m much more sympathetic towards Ada’s position.
It’s very important that we know in to make informed choices about instances going forward and also we love drama
I knew it.

“Waiter, this drama is dry as a bone. I specifically asked for medium-rare.”
