Honestly, between the mods deleting things that either shouldn't have been or just things they disagree with and the people here that constantly fight over petty reasons are why this place is dead. It is a very hostile place and one of the reasons I've stopped posting. Why can't everyone here just get along and act like adults?

I half agree but I think the main reason this place is dead is because it's Saidit. Well, that's my main reason anyway haha

I think it's pointless to expect everyone here to get along. That would be like expecting everyone in the world to get along. The only thing we have in common is our sexuality so I understand why there are many disagreements. It's not like a sub with a fixed focus for everyone to bond or hate-bond (LGBDroptheT) over.

It's not like a sub with a fixed focus for everyone to bond or hate-bond (LGBDroptheT) over.

There's been a more recent trend over there to have some more LGB-focused, non-trans topics, if you're interested in that sort of thing. I posted a discussion about people's opinions on having kids, for example.

I checked it out again and it's 95% trans. Not that that's a bad thing, it's the point of the sub after all. Just not for me.

Yeah, that's fair. They've been meaning to get the LGB sub off the ground for a while, hopefully that will be another option sometime.

Girl if you think this place is hostile you need to go spend some time over at The L Chat. And that place has tons more activity so I don't think hostility is what makes a place dead. It's Saidit. This site has a reputation for being a haven for tin foil hat wearing right-wingers to discuss their deranged beliefs. Having an active lesbian sub over here just isn't going to happen.

I Agree with you s/catsorgohome but I also disagree dogs are better. 🐶 woof woof.

Do you mean this one that reads like troll bait? I suspected they just wanted to cause chaos because they deleting their account right after posting the thread.

I'm more confused by why my comment on that thread (you can see it on my profile) was removed. Seriously, someone literally compared lesbians to white supremacists for wanting to be called lesbians and I got deleted for pointing that out? Sometimes the moderation here is really weird. I'm going to start archiving things.

I feel like that post was supposed to be inflammatory... The election is a pretty touchy subject here I guess, makes sense when you’re picking between 2 candidates that haven’t done a whole lot of anything for women.

[–]Anniesworld[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I generally think we are all mostly adults, why should we shy away from political discussion?Can't lesbians talk about it and be civil?

I think we can but I think the mods disagree.

Also would be curious to hear an answer to this. Your comment seems to me like it was reasonable. I mostly stopped participating here partly because of stuff like this getting removed.

Thanks for posting the link for me.

I read your comments and didn't see any weird that would warrant someone deleting it.

I find it strange as well that what you said was harmless and got deleted but what others said in that thread was truly quite hurtful and nasty was allowed to stay up.

I had someone ( you know who you are) complain about a political comment of mine a while back. I talked to the mods about it and they reinstated it. So maybe get in contact with them, they might help you out although this was months ago.

I think that this situation now however is different.

I think the mods are quarantining that thread because they don't like the idea of lesbians voting for Trump and that it was becoming a little evident which side was really name calling, talking down to people who didn't go to college.( I really wanted to stay out of it but seeing that made me a feel like I should call out that individual for her behavior)

I'd take screenshots of your own comments since I don't think we will always be able to rely on the past versions function.

I think the mods removed it because it was a troll post. Instead of trying to bring a troll post back why not just start a new discussion?

u/homosomes It wasn't just your comment deleted on that thread, it was the white supremacy comment + all the ones that followed. Probably because it was off-topic and in violation of rule #9.

Meeeeeeeeeee!

Edit: I won't derail but the comment was made due to the racial undertones of a group wanting to use a world stolen from another group. I don't understand why so many people refuse to see why that's problematic but shrug.

political discussion? I'd hardly call it that

There's only one active moderator, the sub creator, making decisions here which sucks. https://saidit.net/s/Lesbians/about/log

[–]Aurelius 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

That is too bad that political discussions are such a divisive issue threat days. I dream we'll all be able to get along again soon.

[–]Jillyjanejan 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

LOL! we all know it's you who created that troll post. The mention of SailorMoon2020 was a dead give-away. Also, when have political discussion ever NOT been divisive? If everyone always agreed then there wouldn't even be a need for politics.

[–]Aurelius 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

I tend to be a little shy to post here so I'm not familiar with well known trolls.

You do have a point, but I feel it's worse now than ever, making horrible emotions and language more likely to occur. Maybe I just hold on to memories from back when people didn't care so much. Or maybe I was just naive...

I have no idea what that means but the fact that you didnt deny anything makes me think my guess was correct lol

maybe I was just naive

Most likely. Politics has never been fluffy

[–]Aurelius 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Meaning, I have no idea who Sailormoon2020 is or why they makes it a giveaway. I'm not sure what I'm meant to deny or what you're guessing either. I think I've put myself in a situation that I'm not well prepared for and I'm very sorry for the confusion. Please don't mind me.

[–]Jillyjanejan 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I'm guessing it was you because I remember you made a very emotional thread about being a Trump supporter and SailorMoon2020 told you to grow a spine or something. The OP of the deleted thread that Anniesworld is referring to here mentioned Sailormoon2020 in her post and said Sailormoon2020 don't come for me or something like that, can't really remember now.

Just trying to have a little fun playing detective 😆

[–]Aurelius 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Ohhh... I was so confused! I hadn't been around for a while and forgot about that. All the fighting does get to me sometimes and I lock myself away to avoid it I guess. She's right, I probably should grow a spine but by now I'm afraid I'm a lost cause.

Edit: Also the thing that you're guessing wasn't me. I think I haven't even seen the post in question.

[–]Jillyjanejan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Alright I believe you now

[–]Aurelius 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Haha, well I'm glad to hear that! And now for part two of my disappearing act. I'll emerge when I'm enlightened to the ways of properly interacting with society without causing problems. (I might be in the closet for a very long time...)

I wish you all well! <3 namaste~

Oooo, I was threatened in a post...how dramatic. I didn't get any notification of it though.

[–]SailorMoon2020 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I didn't create that post...let's not go making accusations where they're not founded.

My opinions are controversial especially when race is involved since I feel many users here are racist; however, I don't care enough about politics to make post like that.

[–]Jillyjanejan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I didn't say YOU created the post lol I said the person who created the post mentioned you. Didn't you see it?

[–]SailorMoon2020 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

To be honest, my name seems to come up often. Sometimes I read it, sometimes not. I suppoooose I'm infamous. (-_-) No, I didn't that poster call me out.
