It’s like 150 entries of the same claim.

The question is who did this strange act of agression and why did they did it?

Weird timing but this was after I rebuked imaqtpie the second admin of sjw for being transphobic.

    The issue is that Rimu is implementing these biases in code, as in, anyone that installs piefed, cannot see dbzero, anarchist.nexus, etc… from both demo instances, to importing posts. He is taking his code politically, and charging innocent installers with his biases. I do not want that affecting retrofed, and other naïve installers.

    We will not tolerate bigotry, transphobia, homophobia or other uncivilities. We want these instances to be about nostalgia and community. We do not intend to be a political instance, but will not tolerate bashing of minorities of any kind.
    Civil, in our mind, means act like a decent human being with at least a baseline of respect for other people - no matter the background.

    Then please have a link expanding this definition to both instances, so joiners do not confuse it with bigotted civilities. I’ve experienced apartheid civilities by FHF. They do not mind genocide if my skin has melanin. They don’t seem to mind trans Zionists at the least.

      All default blocks and defederations have been altered during initial setup.

      I wrote the rules early on when I just started retrolemmy, and thought it wouldn’t need clarification, since civility in my mind includes intolerance of bigotry of any kind. But if you feel this is important, we will alter this for more clarification.

      Edit: Clarification added to both sidebars

        I do feel it is more imperative than ever, as nations around the world are twisting what it means to be civil. Comrades of mine don’t even use the word “civil” for “decency.” Where I live, it is “civil” to drag trans people off toilets and assult us. That is no “decency” I want to be part of. This is primarily why we make the distinction, as we do not want to be associated with bigotry.

          I can’t imagine how that must be. I’m sorry you have to go through that. I have added clarification on both sidebars. Let me know if this is clarification enough, or if we need to edit it further.

            I would really like if you incorporated these statements as well:

            We want these instances to be about nostalgia and community. We do not intend to be a political instance, but will not tolerate bashing of minorities of any kind.
            baseline of respect for other people - no matter the background.

            It shows what your instance is about, and what you desire to uphold. If folks see a positive outlook for the instance, the rules should reflect the positive goals you are striving to maintain.

            E.g. [you don’t have to use my diction]

            Here are the guidelines we uphold in order to promote our wonderful communities:
            Be decent/respectful[/Respect people]! Bigotry is unwelcomed. This includes, transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism, ableism, etc… We are trying to foster a nostalgic instance, not promote hate.

            Flesh it out a tad more if you like. Correct me if I am wrong, but am I perceiving that English is not a language you’re masterfully versed in?

              It’s not my primary language, indeed. Even still, writing for public view is a different beast all together, and I don’t think I would be well versed in that even in my mother tongue.

              I’ll try to rewrite the sidebar tomorrow. It’s past midnight here, and I need to sleep. Thanks for your help.

                You’re welcome 🤣, nini😴.
                Rest well.
                We’ll take care of it another day.

                I picked on it due some of the strange phrasings in the sidebar, and engaging with me here.
                I’ll help you proofread as well 🤣. English would be my third language as well, even if I mastered it decades ago🤣. Being a polyglot has a few perks🤣
