Ah, the good ol' 'administrator discretion'. Seems like a classic case of power-tripping site admins doubling down on their opinion while disregarding any notion that they may be in the wrong. Can't say I'm surprised - it was only a matter of time before we saw this kind of behavior in the threadiverse.

Regardless of how you may feel about NSFW content on Lemmy, this is a huge red flag for lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I would advise against people joining that instance purely based on the admins' apparent inability to properly investigate or understand the content that they federate with. Hopefully they can clarify their rules in the near future and justify why exactly this defederation happened, or reverse their decision, swallow a little bit of pride, and admit they were in the wrong.

EDIT: More admin correspondence can be found here.

Very 'my way or the highway' behavior from the blahaj.zone admins. Really not a good look.

Yeah, not really a huge fan of Ada after this. All this because somebody got confused and refuses to say they misunderstood and move on.

Sorry to the rest of the blahaj community that's going down with the ship on this one.

It is clear that Ada did not look at the rest of the posts in the community in question. Because the post she had an issue with stands out as an exception to the community instead of being representative of the community. This was handled well by LemmyNSFW and not well by BlahajZone.

I was there, I deleted my account and moved on.

She was also banning a ton of people in that thread for "misgendering" her. Apparently she assumes everyone should open her profile to check her gender before replying.
