      they are argumentative for sure, but they are arguing in good faith (and their opinion is bad or badly stated)

          that post seems okay to me? just badly phrased with an unnecessary level of twists that impede understanding

            Making a meme insinuating that hexbear, whose mod team is majority trans, wants trans people not to vote, kill themselves, and bomb the west bank, and then going after Ada for not going along with it is definitely trolling.

              Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll by confusing them for a real trans person twice. In a row. She’s confused. She can’t tell fiction from reality when she logs into Lemmy, and she makes moderation decisions based on her misunderstandings.

                Take a step back and ask yourself why you’re jumping through all these hoops to call the admin of an explicitly trans instance and implying the users of the biggest instance run by trans people transphobic.

                Like you have to understand on some level that transphobes don’t spend years creating and aggressively maintaining a safe space for trans people.

                  Ada has wonderful intentions. And she is incompetent, and Blahaj is not safe for trans people as a result. It looks safe for trans people, but when you look at the record of her actions as an admin, it falls apart. It’s security theater. It’s fake. She thinks it’s really a safe space, and she’s wrong. She’s fooling herself and she’s fooling a lot of trans people who are vulnerable because of her decisions. She deleted [email protected], a trans community, because of her confusions.

                    It wasn’t a trans community though. You also chased off how many trans people and trans comms?

                my read of the situation is that there is some unstated person who, even though they are not literally named “obvious_troll”, is similarly enough named that ada thought you were making an indirect attack on that person. again, i don’t have the context to know who that would be but i am willing to believe you’re all arguing at odds with each other.

                (it is like if someone made a shitpost where the butt of the joke was [email protected])

                  No, there’s no real person similar to Obvious_Troll. I made them up. Ada said in a private message that she didn’t realise I made them up and she just assumed they were real. Then two months later, I said they didn’t exist, and Ada got confused again. You’re jumping through hoops to explain a person being completely mentally incompetent. This person you made up whose name is similar to Obvious_Troll, they don’t exist. You’re defending a fictional person you made up, just like Ada defended a fictional person I made up.

                    what i said is reasonable given, again, the limited context of what i know
