196 is a random content community with the simple rule of "post before you leave", so its filled with memes ^.^
It's also a very trans friendly place. But there was a thread recently with a bunch of "just asking questions", and "trans people are just oversensitive", and "I'm not a bigot, but most trans woman have a chip on their shoulder so I am no longer friends with them" kinda stuff, on a post a (trans) mod made complaining about people reporting a pretty questionable comment.
Even if people disagreed over the original comment, the thread about it ended up being transphobic as fuck.
So presumably the admins of lemmy.blahaj.zone (a trans-run instance, who host this, main, c/196 community, on the promise it would be very trans supportive) noticed the lack of moderation of that transphobic thread and are doing something about it ^.^
Appreciate the context! When I first started seeing the posts it seemed like something I liked but I was slightly afraid from not understanding the backstory. So glad to hear that it’s a wholesome place. I feel safe subscribing now.
