    It was because of Ada moderating communities as well, and being (in her opinion), overbearing.

    Wasn’t all of that done when some of the cis members of the community were getting extremely angry at Ada for the new pronouns moderation? Like, sure, they stated it wasn’t because of the new pronoun position, but it seems pretty clear that Ada embraced a position that was closer to the hardline pro-trans position of Hexbear and it pushed a ton of people away.

    And yeah, we have them defedded because of chasers in their 196 comm making our trans users feel unsafe.

      Upon closer look, you guys didn’t block them: hexbear.net/instances

      Anyway, I don’t think people were really pushed away from LBZ, it was just the 196 thing and a few people gettin banned for pissing themselves about neopronouns.

      In any case, the 196 community wanted to stay, the alternate comm is more popular (by MAU) than the original.
