One of the head honchos on ml had some rant about trans people being part of the bourgeoisie agenda or some shit. Which of course, raises eyebrows about how this crowd in general was so against voting and standing up to the guy who is currently actively stripping transgender rights. I’m sure you’re not all transphobes but the fact that this comes from someone at the head of a community, does make one look at the big push to not vote a little differently and makes it look like there’s more reasons for it than just being too cool for school.
One of the main admins / devs basically said that the whole “transgender thing” was just a smoke screen and another part of the culture wars the bourgeoisie is using to divide us.
It was very dismissive and minimizing and … honestly gross.
It is indicative of their mindset overall and how myopic and “in their rigid lane” they are. Also just a wildly gross shit take.
out of the loop – what did we do wrong?

I’m not sure if an admin of an instance is in any way shape or form a head of a community.
They are not voted in.
Most people join lemmy instances at random or by sorting them by userbase size.
I’m too lazy to shop around for a different admin/instance. Why would I? I don’t care about the guy.
