I am disgusted with myself that I didn't see how bad ML is
I participated there for so long before I realized, I thought the few people who complained were just trolls or salty people. I was very wrong.
hey, you gotta see the good side here - you realized how fucking insane the .ml guys are and were able to leave them! Which implies that you have better introspection than them, and that's the way we grow.
They also will happily assume my gender, one of their trolls just did while harassing me. Shows that they really don't care about LGBTQ rights or acceptance.
.ml is at the very least accepting of some wildly transphobic people. grad is next fucking level though. I've seen people literally spreading the right wing talking point that "elites/bourgeoisie" are turning kids trans to divide people.
That seems very accurate. I actually made a post on those right wing talking points specifically about Lemmy Dev @nutomic@lemmy.ml saying them to someone when they asked him about making a Lemmy plugin. It was really bad.
