people really need to research who makes the software they are using when deploying it for something like fediverse integration. and if you weren't aware before, you are now
fact: Alex Gleason, the developer of Soapbox, is a massive transphobe who wrote an article titled "Why I don't support transgender ideology" where he says in so many words that he is against transgender people and spends an awful lot of time minimizing all of the suffering trans people are subjected to. it's not hard to find this if you look, right on his blog. i do not care if he claims its about "ideology, not people" - you cannot separate these two
is it any wonder that spinster.xyz, a notable transphobic gender critical instance, uses Soapbox?
do not use soapbox and do not support or give alex gleason the time of day if you care about trans people
