PRIME Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain's constitution so they 'can never be undone'. The left-wing PSOE
Exactly and blahaj missed it; their commitment to trans people is little more than lip service like the democrats’ insistence that we vote for them over the Republicans because of project 2025 despite the Democrats ignoring the equal rights agreement to help protect us from project 2025
This is a shill thing of an instance meant to drive away traffic from the “dirty commie” tankies. Lol
It’s very important to keep track of rights, but I think it’s unfortunately human for some things to get missed. My friend group has four trans or nb folk, six or so gay or bi folk and a few straight allies. I’m the only person that knew about a law defining gender as binary in the state, and that’s probably because it was signed around the time that a transgender representative was banned from the state legislature which made news around the country. They didn’t even hear about it when the law was overturned a few months ago.
We get so much news every day from our local, regional, national, and global sources that it can be a full time job to sort out the losses of liberties that many people don’t care about because it doesn’t affect them

You should tell your bosses that they should allocate more $$$ to lgbtqia+ issues so that they can adequately make this corporate shill of an instance make blahaj look more legitimately look like it it’s lgbtqia+ friendly to keep their astroturfed appearance looking legitimate in the fediverse. Lol
not at all complaining; merely pointing out that this is an astro-turfed instance with astro-turfed communities compared to it’s truly grass-roots oriented instances & communities analogs that won’t experience an inactive lemmy once your bosses lose interest.
there will be more similar such instances in the future and i will likewise point them out; so prepare your block lists. lol
This instance is an accident. Kaity created it for me to play with, when lemmy was barely a thing before hexbear was federating and before the reddit exodus happened.
And then when the reddit exodus happened, we had something like five active users, but still, as the only queer instance that was federating with the rest of lemmy we got a huge influx of people. And suddenly, instead of being a single person instance, we had become a community almost overnight.
At least a part of that huge influx was caused by a post in r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns telling people of the instance’s existence. That’s how I found it anyway.
Do you have anything you can reference to back up these assertions that the instance is astro turfed? Honest question. You’re making some pretty big accusations and I’m curious if there’s any merit to them versus just writing it off as trolling and/or social media melodrama.
it’s something that hexbear users do for some reason, everytime I see someone (always from .ml) talking badly about blahaj they turn out to be from hexbear, and they also sometimes mention hexbear as the “true queer instance”
The reason is that they basically think Ada’s the devil for not making the c/196 mod remove the “(also fuck tankies)” line from the cover image. They defederated with us, ostensibly for that reason, tho I’m fairly sure that it’s because they saw the writing on the wall (that blahaj was going to vote to defederate) and tried to save face.
I was pretty sure it was just melodrama, but wanted to give them an opportunity to explain themselves versus continuing to sling crap like an enraged monkey. They didn’t take it.

What with all those unsubstantiated accusations of an astroturfed instance, methinks the .ml user doth protest too much.
.ml users will never not be the funniest part of this site tbh
Maybe. Mind you, the lobotomy patients over at .world are putting up some remarkably stiff competition. I’d say it’s too close to call.
You couldn’t even do the bare minimum to realize that I’m not affiliated with this instance, but nice attempt on being condescending
Nice answer; you’ll do your handler’s proudly; now strap in and do that but budget proud w the next upcoming questions. Lol
Seems like you know quite a bit about this… Huh.
I wonder who/where they’re organising their brigade to get all these upvotes 🙃
No kidding. It feels bizarre that they came swinging at me, but I suppose I’ve forgotten how aggro ml users can be
It’s a public group, with content produced by community members, of which you are one.
If you see coverage missing, post it rather than complaining about the fact no one else has done the thing you haven’t done either
not at all complaining; merely pointing out that this is an astro-turfed instance with astro-turfed communities compared to it’s truly grass-roots oriented instances & communities analogs that won’t experience an inactive lemmy once your bosses lose interest.

what are you on about?

Our history is far more boring than your version.

Anyway there’s a bit of lemmy history for you.
