    It’s why even though I’m a transbabe myself, I don’t use blahaj. I approve of protecting transfolks, but I don’t approve of overprotection to the point where it feels like I’m in chains…

    I’m not say that’s 100% the case at blahaj, but I’ve had bad experiments with Left Leaning groups that meant well, but suffocated me or worse, turned on me when they suspected I was a problem. So I don’t wanna risk it.

    For the record I’m a leftist myself, and I’m not blaming Leftist Ideology itself persay, just…

    Do you get what I’m saying?

      I get it. Never felt really welcome in those spaces, even though I’m trans and very much on the left as well.

      Yep, and that’s one advantage Lemmy has over other social media. Don’t like the way an instance is handled? Make an account somewhere else and you most likely won’t even lose the content from that instance.
