        I think it’s just the one server run by a mentalcase tbh. Not the first time I’ve seen them mentioned. The other thing was them freaking out because of GIMP.

            Merriam Webster - “Gimp”

            Probably the word “gimp” and not understanding that since it’s all in capital letter that means it’s an abbreviation, and that abbreviation is "GNU image manipulation program. "

      Wait I’m out of the loop. When was BBC transphobic?

      We really need a way to block entire instances at the user level.
