I’ve actually seen people banned from Lemmy for just supporting transracial people. A recent one happened just 3 days ago actually.
My theory is that a lot of the backlash wasn’t really about me being “offensive” or anything—it was rooted in transphobia. They just wouldn’t come out and say it because Lemmy leans heavily pro-transgender. So instead, they took it out on the transracial identity because that’s still seen as “safe” to attack.
This person got banned just for saying they were proud of their transracial friend. The whole thread was people hating on OP and calling OP sick. Post got removed and the user was banned from the community and their instance.
Then when they went to a diff community to ask about why the hate, mods removed that post too. Lemmy’s definitely not a transracial-friendly space yet:

I can relate to this in my own way all too well.
