  • Regarding Moss’ recent post: their specific example of disagreement isn’t about neopronouns but about the broader policy of respecting trans identities—a continuation of the same priorities Ada has upheld.

    Jesus Christ, spujb, no it is not. I know what’s in that post because I wrote a significant portion of it, and revised everything else.

    Nothing that we wrote suggested our move was motivated by Ada’s policy towards respecting trans identities or neopronouns. We were very clear that our differences with Ada stem from her heavy-handed mod actions.

    If you don’t want any ill will, a good start would be to stop putting words in our mouths. Especially words that incite harassment against us. I’m done arguing with you. Do the right thing or don’t, I’m not your boss.






  • I’m not sure what you’re confused about, honestly.

    People harassed Drag and that wasn’t okay, but during the backlash you mentioned in your post, many people pointed out that Drag had a legitimate history of “trolling”, the most egregious of which was telling someone repeatedly to kill themselves, along with general calls for violence from and the suicide of trans people. We banned Drag for this.

    So when Ada made her post, it looked like she was calling us out for labeling Drag a troll, and indeed that is the narrative a lot of you ran with.

    So now that you’ve had a hand in perpetuating this misunderstanding, I’d appreciate it if you set the record straight. Because frankly, I’m sick of people like you labeling me and the other mods as bigots. I’m sick of you guys putting words in our mouths. If you’re going to make a “writeup” about us, then tell them the real reason we wanted to leave LBZ.




  • However, 196 moderator @moss and their team remained unhappy with the policy.

    None of us disagreed with this policy, and Drag was not banned over neopronouns. Drag was banned for an egregious level of harassment of another user + encouraging violence from and the suicide of trans people.

    If y’all think that’s acceptable behavior, that’s fine, but keep it the fuck away from us. Half of the mod team is trans, and we don’t need that shit in our lives.
