They're the Warframe instance and I want to talk about Warframe with them

In an effort to get Federation working better and get better performance out of our Fly containers, I upgraded lib.lgbt to 0.19.0-rc.3. Apologies for the unannounced downtime.

So far it does seem to be running better... I am sometimes getting connection errors when I refresh though, will keep an eye on those.

Its been banned on blahaj.zone, startrek.website, and hexbear.

On hexbear, was banned for transphobia and racism, as well as the original account being banned for a chaser username.

On blahaj, was banned for harassment, personal attacks, and ableism.

On startrek.website, was banned for being a transphobic troll.

Beyond all of that, the username is obviously a chaser username and is transphobia itself.

Not saying what you should think, but you should draw your own conclusions rather than be manipulated by snippets of out of context screenshots.

I just lurk all the LGBT places, not really tied to any one spot. Hope they can all stop being so fractured one day and will express actual queer unity like irl spaces.

Why are hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml blocked here?

Hexbear even is ahead of us and have a field for pronouns.

Without meaning to get offensive (because we still have Dolly Parton, and God bless her soul)... is Shania Twain our equivalent country queen?

I say this as someone who listened to Up! (both versions) throughout my formative years and honestly every single one of those songs was important to me at some point - from c'est la vie, which is fairly upbeat, to It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing, which is still my go-to sad song for when my depression catches up to me.

Just wanted to cast the feelers out; are we in the same boat? If not, why not? I want to contribute more but I want to know more about everyone here first 😅

Similarly to lemmy.ca and lemmy.world, we are also unfederated from hexbear.

Hello I am new here , i was wondering if few of the communities banned here, like 196 and 195 are what I can think of at the moment !

It's been almost exactly two months since I started lib.lgbt so I thought it would be a good time to assess how people are liking the instance and Lemmy in general.

So... How are people liking Lemmy so far? Any comments/concerns about lib.lgbt itself?

Earlier I defederated us from sh.itjust.works. They seem like they haven't done anything problematic or concerning for a few months now though, and they have a tech community I wouldn't mind reading. Would people be interested in refederation?

As other instances have done, we also are defederating from what appears to be a server taken over by alt-right and neo-Nazi content. Or an exploding-heads proxy. Or both.

Just thought people might want to know I upgraded this instance this morning!

The current frontend lib.lgbt used is lemmy-ui. However, there’s no particular reason we should stay on that one other than that it’s the official frontend.

I saw a cool list with screenies of other frontend possibilities and was wondering if we should switch to one. Does anyone have any preferences?
