![[CW: Transphobia] LGBT People: LEMMY IS NOT SAFE FOR YOU](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/8f2bae14-16e5-4fe9-b1e0-d9f0b0620b74.jpeg){kind=link}
UPDATE: ADMIN STATEMENT IN COMMENTS
Leadership of Lemmy has dug in their heels and shown that they will be slow to remove overt homophobia, sexism, and transphobia on this platform. Administration will spend hours or days of effort defending these people to justify a ban that would be instant on other platforms.
You are not safe here. I recommend migrating to either Lemmygrad.ml or Hexbear.net (Hexbear being much less sectarian but the people on Lemmygrad are very cool 😎). Please take care out there. Fuck the patriarchy! Trans rights are human rights! ✊

The point of a “safe space” doesn’t come with the assumption that there won’t be bad faith players in that space, its just that the moderation and the community can indeed create a place where if something does go wrong, it is handled as soon as possible and in the most productive way, especially in a way that tries to prevent bad faith players from overtaking a discourse on a platform.
And it looks like it was handled, no?
Not the point I was addressing from your original comment.
I’m addressing that OP seems to be telling LGBT people to leave Lemmy because someone called them a groomer and one of Mark Zuckerberg’s bots didn’t immediately put the transphobe in Lemmy jail.
OP is talking about a pattern, if you can’t see that from this post then I can’t say anything next that will help this conversation.
I don’t live on Lemmy, and if I did and were concerned about problematic stuff I’d never recommend Lemmygrad, you ask one genuine question and people act like you’re Satan.
Lemmy’s not a huge site to my knowledge… if it’s that bad people can either leave, make their own site, or apply to be an admin/moderator.
If you, again, saw this post properly, you’ll see I talked against lemmygrad myself.
… I’m not reading every comment. My life doesn’t revolve around Lemmy.
Also, while we’re at it, you keep pointing out that I can’t see patterns or see the post properly. I have major cognitive issues especially when it comes to long texts, so PLEASE keep shaming me intellectually, lmao. You’re lucky, the mods might not ban you for ableism! /s
If you do have cognitive issues, then I’m sorry that my comments were hurtful, they weren’t meant to be an attack. All I’m saying is that context is always important and post titles on platforms like reddit and Lemmy dont provide the full picture of everything, hence it becomes a responsibility to make sure to atleast try and see the full picture to the best of our abilities.
