i feel like enough time as passed where we can be honest about this but maybe not

i think i have an idea of where the "trans girl nazi phase" trope came from, it probably had something to do with disq's open federation policy and how E. regularly interacted with say, the admin of shitposters.club, an open trump supporter and basic chud, and how them and similar instances like worm.pink were on this freespeech edgelord trip where they were constantly boosting and interacting with various reactionary instances that were blocked by everyone else, or tolerated right wing thinking in their midst, etc.

So maybe putting disq and other aligned instanced on TBS wasn't just part of a transphobic plot, maybe they had been flagged because of these associations. i thought disq were on some red-brown shit when i first encountered them, until i got to know them and realied they're really just lonely shit libs with no principles, they lack the self awareness to be rightist infiltrators.

idk maybe operating a literal grey zone and putting your own members in danger ( and disq worm.pink etc. were constantly being milked by kiwifarms types ) maybe that's a bad idea
