Please stop defederating from general purpose news services, just because they sometimes do a transphobia.
I'm trans, and I'm telling you its worse for me to cut off my news sources than to read those news sources misgender people or whatever.
Seriously, come the fuck on, we just talked about this. Stop making the fediverse into some arcane and impenetrable little clique powered by unwritten rules and endless purity tests.
This is about #bbc, among others
@jenniferplusplus pretty sure "no transphobia" isn't an unwritten rule on the majority of instances you're adressing
Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
