I am new to this space so I don’t know what each instance is known for.

Are you trans? I’m looking for input only from trans people.

So… not trying to be rude, but is this a trans instance, or is this for same-age white lesbian trans fems to hook up with or flirt with one another and post porn because they don’t have their own bars in real life? Edit: And if it is, do they allow all white trans fems to post there, or only the transfems they’ve personally hooked up with or want to?

Sometimes trans spaces are not trans spaces but are actually just for one singular specific group of people and don’t actually represent “the community,” and thus beef with this one particular very specific group of individual people does not always represent beef with the community as a whole.

Edit again: No “allies” please. Only reply if you’re trans.

Edit again again: It looks like this is an instance for caterpillars and eggs, rather than a hookup space. I was right about it being overwhelmingly white though, not necessarily bad and could be accidental, but white caterpillars are do not represent the majority of the community as a whole.

I’m not sure about Tumblr because I don’t have an account, but I have seen people get bullied online (various platforms) for tracing their own photographs for example.

I’m not talking about references. I obviously don’t have a screenshot of every single interaction I’ve ever had in online art communities. You’re just going to have to believe that I have no malicious intent in making my post.

I don’t know what your comment has to do with mine. What is what about?

edit: my mouse was in the way

Well, I don’t know what to say. Which part sounds like BS?

Is that a joke? Beans?

Thank you.

NoScript blocks this link, so given the very limited context, I think I’ll skip this link for now.

This is really smart actually.

I see, so he blocked specific keywords, not just specific users?

Thank you for taking the time to provide me this context.

I see. As someone who has been in said communities, I must ask: were all trans and leftist communities blocked, or were only the niche hang-outs of specific individuals blocked? Because in my experience, trans and leftist spaces are rarely what they are named for, and are instead hangout spaces for specific online cliques. “Trans communities” may ban all trans people except 5 individuals, for example, and still call themselves a “trans” community.

You said that “they” got “called out for supporting fascists”? What fascists did they support? Are you saying that the author of the blacklist is a fascist based on his banning trans and leftist communities, or are you saying that they’re Trump supporters or something like that?

I’m afraid this is not enough context, my apologies.

In the online art community, “tracing” means you’re a bad artist and cheating, people get doxed and bullied offline for tracing.

For real artists, using tools to trace real-life objects and photographs is normal, and has been since medieval times. Not the photograph part of course, but real life objects can be traced or copied using various methods, and it’s perfectly acceptable to do so.

No, the first thing you said was the real answer.

This rant tells me absolutely nothing about what happened except that this man is angry about something. Since you’re calling him a fascist, you seem to know what is going on, or have some type of context. What happened?
