I’m really sorry this is happening!
It seems some people with the same issue managed to at least get a message saying they’ll get off the list after filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online here. You’ll probably want to search for the one in your state and city. If you already did this and it still didn’t work, sorry in advance.
There are seemingly fewer resources on MSM deferrals and bans than on the Reddit guide because when I tried to follow the links, they were all dead for me. I looked into replacing each dead link:
- Blood is Blood, dead link: https://bloodisblood.org/. Looked into it, seems to be for action in the United States of America and no longer seems active. (I looked up
"blood is blood" activismif you want to look yourself—after all, I could have missed something! Helped me avoid irrelevant results like stuff about the horror film of the same name.) - GLAAD’s Ban the Ban, dead link: https://www.glaad.org/amp/ban-ban-argument-against-12-month-blood-donation-deferral-men-who-have-sex-men.
- ADVANCE Study with the FDA, dead link: https://advancestudy.org/ Since that link is broken, you might want to look here instead. They have a useful link to the study here. Found another summary of the study here.
As far as I know, I need to look more later (need to go do something right now), activism over blood donation restrictions in the United States of America seems to have died down in accordance with the changes: “If monogamous and no new partners in the last three months, all prospective donors, including gay and bi men, would be considered eligible to donate with no deferral period.” Not too sure about other countries, but the dead links I was looking to replace were focused on the United States of America. If you have any information about activism for this in countries outside of the United States of America, let me know!

I was thinking a flat-out link to this post. I am aware it might cause some issues with not being taken to the post on a user’s instance but on someone else’s. I saw someone use some website to get around that issue, click the link to go to the website and then choose to see it on your instance or the original or something like that, but sadly I don’t remember the website. I’ll go looking for it.
Typing all this to you because I don’t have sidebar alteration powers on Mbin :( Do you want me to stay on Mbin to test Mbin/Lemmy moderation troubles, or should I make an account on this instance, or both?
(I do happen to have Moderate options for posts and comments though.)
