mastodon has its own discontents, but it remains an aggressively trans-friendly space where folks can just do their thing without the nonstop torrent of hate and abuse you see on Twitter

twitter post from Lauren reading "i like to think i have a thick skin but the transphobia on here really does seem dramatically worse the last few weeks.  i can handle it because i am a seasoned computer addict but I don't think i could good-faith recommend any normal trans person waste their time here anymore"

I saw someone trying to post some anti-trans trolling the other day. It had been nuked before I could finish clicking through to report it.

@ancient_catbus I have yet to receive even one single death threat! And minimal chasers!

Is this what it feels like to be normal

@Husaria strangely, the anti-trans prick buying the platform encouraged transphobia

@ancient_catbus i cant imagine any other outcome, im seriously surprised the site is actually still up, its buggy as shit but the fact that its still up speaks of the resiliency the old teams put in to ensure the site doesnt turn into nazi fail whale
