If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

MODERATORS
 

Hello, if you are transgender and socialist, please make an application below. We have lax requirements, I'm basically hoping to copy the success of Hexbear's trans community. Basic ideas of modding this space:

  • Rule with an iron fist. This is meant to be a safe place for transgender people. If someone is making that not happen / is fucking the vibes, they should be gone.

  • Purge transphobes on sight

  • No leftist infighting. Anarchists and communists can be friends

  • Suggest to cis and trans people that they change their username to include pronouns so no one misgenders them

I've never been a mod before, and I probably don't have much time I can commit to it, but I'd love to try to contribute to the community in that way.

Could you alter your username to include pronouns? And absolutely, no problem!

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There doesn't seem to be any way to do that in the Voyager app. So no, not right now, at least. Sorry.

It also doesn’t display display names :(

No problem, when you get a chance go ahead and do it. I'll add you right now

As a basic security precaution, first make everyone here use the provided setting option and link your Lemmy to a (fresh) Matrix, unrelated to your broader life. This will allow secure messaging between members. Good moderator response will follow from establishing a secure communication channel, primarily for mods, but also for members.
