Since it has been such a politicial issue for so many people, and people keep asking whats up, I just wanted to update everyone on the 2-month-old server submission request.

I finally got a response today, presumably from @Gargron@mastodon.social / @Gargron@tooting.ai or perhaps @sociallyeleanor@mastodon.social though I cant be certain. It was very respectful and while it did not resolve the issue it basically asked if a trans person were to join my server if he/she would have their identity questioned. Obviously since we support trans rights I expect this to move quickly.

So seems the backlog is being addressed. Of course i responded by requesting any examples where that has happened in the past (as I am not aware of any) and even provided an example where we had to suspend someone due to them being hateful towards someone of the trans community.

So hopefully we will see some movement and it wont be another 2 months to hear the response after having answered the question.

I will keep everyone updated so they can know if this was resolved. I would like to give credit where credit is due if they are legitimately catching up on this stuff. The question seemed sincere and not just a delay but we will have to wait and see. but looking a bit better I think.
