The liberals have really begun to stink the place up ever since they jumped ship en masse from Reddit. They joined a platform created & maintained by communists and constantly shit stir with the "look at what Lemmy.ml is doing". Lemmy.ml is one of the biggest and original instances and it's plainly obvious that transphobia isn't tolerated there. That's what the community demands, regardless of nutomic. Likely it has more trans users than most instances that people are using to complain about nutomic.
The same people simply have it in for Lemmy.ml and won't stop until every instance defederates from it. Nutomic's views are just another means for them to achieve that goal.
Maybe one of them will step up and create their own alternative platform and they can all clear off to that one for good.
I've only ever seen one comment from nutomic cited as evidence of transphobia. And its a DM responding to some mystery comment that is never posted alongside it. A bit suspicious when the only evidence is presented without context.
Though it does contain the transphobic dogwhistle, "biological man," but that term is also one a reasonable person could reasonably reach from a place of ignorance. He also admitted to knowing very little about trans issues.
Also the trans comments are just one in a list of things. Without context there's no way to know if those even are his own ideas, or a summery of the mystery comment he's responding to, but also clearly disagrees with.
The opposition to nutomic on the basis of transphobia feels very much like a witch hunt. This doesn't seem like strongly held anti-trans beliefs. People are occasionally wrong or misinformed about things. And that's okay!

some context
Thanks so much for posting this. Since you're clearly more familiar with nutomic, and this conversation do you think my assessment is off base?
This context doesn't change my conclusion, but I'm clearly a prime target for confirmation bias as I made up my mind before seeing it.
Nutomic is banned from blahaj anyway.
People at home will moan about fascists and loss of their illusory freedoms at home, cheering when communists gain traction in other states, talking big about revo while the wolf is at their door, and 100% fling open the windows and invite in the fascist fox for cuddles and Netflix.
