We know it's been a long while coming, but we finally have prepared our response in regards to thebad.space situation from last month. It is a long read, and we'd advise taking your time in going through the details thoroughly. Thank you for your patience with us on this matter.

We made a couple of corrections to the blog post; we removed speculation in the timeline about the initial bug as our information about it had not been verified, and fixed a poorly phrased line in the response segment.
@mods@tech.lgbt
"Poorly phrased" is quite the euphemism.
There is an active conspiracy to eradicate trans people. Whether unintentional or not, R0 trafficked in tropes associated with transphobia. He both benefitted from and enables that bigotry with his continued transphobic statements including accusations that people trying to call him out for it are racist. Whether his goals are deliberately transphobic or merely unintentionally have a disparate negative impact on trans people—both meet the criteria you lay out in this post (even after amendments) for bigotry when applied to racism.
While your wording was also a problem, it is not the only one with line 158 so tweaking it to remove your denial that there is a conspiracy to eradicate trans people doesn't completely fix it.
@asmallteapot@hachyderm.io@mods “Oh, right, there is actually a conspiracy to eradicate the trans community. Sorry!”
