Someone has taken my FediFollows logo and combined it with the FediTips name to create a reddit group that is posting transphobic material.

This is nothing to do with me. I don't use reddit and never have done.

I'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community and totally condemn transphobia.

(Not going to link to the group obviously.)

FediTips has moved!

Woah... 😮

Wasn't expecting so many replies! Thank you for all of them!

Just did the original post as a quick headsup in case anyone stumbled across the group like I did.

This is really heartening to see so many people so passionate about fighting bigotry! 👏

@feditips that’s really awful. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. Hopefully Reddit has some administrators in place to curb this.

@feditips If you can find a contact point, you can report the misuse to reddit, and they MIGHT do something about it. The admins there are usually fairly responsive, IF you can reach them.

@feditips I want to tell you .. it's probably the same group that takes stuff off of other social media and twists it to their agenda. I'm really sorry that happened to you. It happens a lot on Facebook and goes to reddit.

I would suggest you report this to the reddit folks. It helps because others get on board and say no more.

Big hugs .. it's such a personal violation when that happens because you know the context .. hateful people do not. ❤️🙏

@feditips I ran into the account (on Mastodon) yesterday of a deeply transphobic British group. Anti-gay as well in fact, and anti-abortion, anti-immigrant, populist, 'free speech' fascists.

I was surprised - but realised I had conflated what i wanted Mastodon to be about, with perhaps what is a different reality...

Is there any easy way to understand the rules on any server? And for breaches - what is the action?

@feditips I never did understand that mindset. I just stick with the Golden Rule. Works well for pretty much every faith, creed, and person I come across.

@feditips I know "repporting on Reddit" is a lost cause, but it would be worth at least trying to do something about that... Honestly, this is terrible...

@feditips Not enough people are talking about how Reddit is going the fascist way of Twitter and Facebook.

@feditips So sorry! I guess this is one of the ways they'll try to hurt people here, since they don't have the run of the place like they do at #Echan.
