No, it's really not.

Here's what happened:
Ro designed a system to aggregate domain blocklists, & seeded it from a number of large-ish instances.

Unfortunately several of those instances had really bad moderation, in some cases with pronounced & well-documented anti-trans bias, so the seed data was flawed.

People pointing this out were met with hostility & the presumption of racism. Things predictably spiraled from there.
