Correct. My view is it’s not productive or necessary to get into who is or isn’t a cop, because at the end of the day it’s unknowable. Wrecking/other disruptive conduct is the problem, so I tend to focus on that.
Everything that I’ve seen from that instance is duplicitous two-faced behavior. I think some people here are still caught up with federation hype. Carving a space for trans people on Lemmy doesn’t need to look like a federation of trans instances. It could also look like one giant instance where transphobes, terfs, enbyphobes, chasers, and other reactionaries get sent to the blender and any instance that dares to traffic transphobia receives a warm visit from the All Active Army.
Yeah it was a shame because even as a lurker I was kinda excited to see it blend but after watching the little shit storm kick off its just disheartening.
“If you’re not a cop, you’re doing a cop’s job” applies. Wrecking (and similar conduct) is bad no matter who it’s from.

? Nope.
