For a community that bills itself as
“General discussions about “science” itself
Be sure to also check out these other Fediverse science communities:”
And is full of news articles explaining science, having a biologist explain the science of sex biology is not a right fight for a general science community.
So what that is the job of moderators. Not banning transphobes because they are too lazy is a piss poor excuse
Can’t expect a volunteer mod to moderate 24/7. Plenty still slips through.
Probably best to lock threads like this, if as a mod you know you can’t moderate properly.
But as I said above, the post is still visible for me, so seems like the mod reinstated it.
The post is regarding on the science community from mander.xyz not lemmy.ml, you are checking wrong post
Its strength to show you recognize whitewashing and learn from it, doubling down on it is the opposite
Nope. Still see it on Science@mander.xyz. Might be a federation thing.
Anyway, my argument is simply that there’s a reason safe spaces exist, and that if you can’t ensure something is a safe space, it’s sometimes best to lock it down before you platform bigotry.
In any case, my initial reaction above was BPR, which includes over reactions in a charged situations. I think the whole trans thing counts as charged, thanks to all the bigots who pop out of the word work. I think the mod over-reacted, but that it’s understandable they made that mistake because the situation is charged.
e: it appears someone else posted the same article on mander.xyz. If the mod deletes that too, then it would be damning, and I’m no longer willing to give them the benefit of doubt
