Do you know any Lemmy instances not federated with other ones, living by themselves? Do you know any interesting or creative use case for a not federated instance?

Ah I understand what you were saying now, I wasn't sure exactly and it reminded me of the "Agender Pronouns" thing, glad you didn't mean it that way though.

There are other problems I've had with Hexbear, I've actually been threatened and harassed by several users on that platform, I've also gotten some bad vibes in a few communities there that didn't really make me feel welcome, as a GNC person or as an Agender person. It's hard to describe, it just didn't quite feel right.

But yeah I do hope the user flairs get added to Lemmy at some point, it would be nice to have some of the helpful features from Reddit, like User flairs, and either post flairs or post tags (post tags are probably better since they can federate as hashtags).

I do occasionally get some weird vibes outside of /traaa on there, though so far nothing like what you've run into. If you have any names I can look into this, I have mod privileges there and it could help me look out for sus stuff in the future.

Part of why I was interested in helping out there is because their megathreads are actually very active and I saw that whenever stuff like /tttt/ brainwormed shit came up there were lots of posters with actually good views on gender constructs chiming in to combat/explain unhealthy gender expectations.

I had a sus interaction with one of the staff on traaa, a year ago, but I really don't wanna reveal it, because I'm not sure if they're still there. It was like traumatic bad, but maybe not intentionally so. I'm still hiding from hexbear.

sorry that happened to you either way.

if you ever change your mind feel free to let me know
