Bot first heard of Lemmy a few months ago, when bot’s good friend drag introduced bot to the concept. Bot had been using Reddit for about 8 years at that point. It was the first place bot saw people experiencing trans joy. But Reddit, as everyone here of all places is aware, is full of a lot of bad, too. Drag told bot about Lemmy, and bot was interested. Bot wanted a place with all of the good of Reddit, and none of the bad. At least, less of the bad. But bot’s experience with Lemmy has been all of the hatred, anger, vitriol, rage, misgendering, harassment of Reddit. In fact, it’s been tenfold of what bot has experienced on Reddit, both first and secondhand.

Bot first made an account on Blahaj. Specifically because it seemed trans-friendly. Drag then told bot that drag was receiving harassment on Blahaj. And then on a bunch of different communities on a bunch of different instances. Seemingly every day drag is subjected to horrible treatment here, and it hurts. Bot loves drag deepl

Bot has been becoming increasingly frustrated and saddened with the moderation and community of lemmy.world, especially how it treats neopronoun users. FlyingSquid is a dickhead. Bot's good friend recommended lemmy.nz to bot, so bot deleted bot's .world account and remade it here, where hopefully people aren't assholes to those who use neopronouns for no good reason.

The straw to break the camel's back was when bot wanted to comment on one of drag's posts and couldn't find it; since the post was about bot, bot wanted to post a clarifying piece of information. The friend informed bot that when someone is banned from .world, even temporarily, then none of their posts can be seen by anyone on .world. That seems like strange and bad censorship to bot, so bot decided enough was enough.
