Ableist moderation again

Hi,

This isn't the first time I've brought this up, but I want to raise the issue of ableism and blatantly discriminatory moderation. I've raised this in emails with MNHQ multiple times, been told it is being looked into, but no significant change or progress ever seems to happen in terms of how the site is actually moderated. There is no progress in the MNHQ mods' understanding of what ableism actually means. And seemingly no efforts to correct for ableist bias in how moderation practices are applied.

I would really like to see some actual change since disabled people are often more reliant on online forms of social interaction, especially more severely disabled people. This should be something MNHQ can work on.

I thought mn hq had got a lot better at deleting disablist stuff.

@Samcro I'm genuinely really glad that that's been your experience; I wish that was my experience of MN Sad

MNHQ protecting posters who direct anti Semitic abuse at disabled women is quite something.
