She’s trans, please don’t use the term futa, it’s extremely objectifying and also transphobic.

I’m not entirely sure, I’ve heard that defederation breaks subscriptions and stops new content from flowing in, but I’ve also heard that it only stops content from flowing in from the server they’re blocking. It’s hard to say. I would definitely recommend creating an account there though if you’re intio those communities or queer content in general. I’m still thinking of doing it myself soon, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I wish we had more trains here. Been watching Not Just Bikes and it seems so nice to not need to drive places. Owning a car is so expensive.

Agreed, I wish they’d stop with this whole discourse. Just let me fucking take estrogen. I’ve been waiting months and talking to a therapist, if I don’t get it by march I’d doing DIY. I encourage others to join me, no more shit, no more games. Just Do It.

Oh

That’s not enough they have to be okay with or even in support of transgender rights. Not caring means they’ll either do nothing or work against us. I will not stand for either.

Modern conservatism is a cancer that deserves and needs to be squashed out. It has an outright dangerous and seductive quality to it. It took me years to get over it many people don’t ever get out of it.

So echo chamber argument isn’t a good one. If anything modern conservatism is itself an echo chamber, that squashes all opposing viewpoints.

I agree, and I personally would not hold it against the lemmy.blahaj.zone admins if they chose to defederate lemm.ee on that basis. Admins need to stand up and be willing to “interfere” with communities to uphold order and standards or the instance becomes a toxic cesspit very quickly.

As someone who used to be stuck in that I couldn’t agree more. It absolutely is a lack of empathy and cognitive ability, but also it persists because they think it’s cool and accepted. I know that’s why I followed it as long as I did. So I say block it. It doesn’t do anyone any good and the less people see it the less they’ll think its cool.

The admins of lemm.ee are well aware of that community. From what I understand they choose to allow mods to run their communities how they see fit and rarely decide to interfere with them. Doesn’t seem great, seems like a system that’ll let shit like this happen over and over in the future.

Yeah, though I am more flexible than most people when it comes to that. Many people are either tops or bottoms mostly, I’m happy with both.

I never feel bad for correcting them when they self-incorrect themselves. I tend to be more on the aggressive side when someone gets it right the first time but then goes “sorry sir”. One time I went off on a waitress for doing it, and she looked so scared and deeply regretted it. After the meal when she brought the check she apologized profusely for misgendering me. So I think being a bitch about being misgendered is sometimes a good thing. When I’ve been nice people are pleasant but end up forgetting. But when I’m a bitch, they remember.

It’s like spritzing a cat’s face with water to get them to stop doing that thing they shouldn’t be doing. Unpleasant but necessary.

Ok that’s fair enough, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree and end it at that.

For the record I apologize if I came off as too harsh to their claims. I should’ve been more understanding. I’m very used to people making false claims, especially ones of a severe nature, and when I saw they were making a claim and presenting evidence that wasn’t supporting those claims I thought it was one of those. I apologize if there was a misunderstanding.

I don’t think so. It’s pretty toxic to accuse a person of bigotry when they aren’t posting things that are bigoted, and actually have and enforce rules in their community against bigotry. All simply because of a content genre they dislike.

I don’t like the format and I agree that there’s reasons to be skeptical but I don’t think it’s okay to outright accuse a person of being bigoted when they have not been bigoted. If they had shown evidence of the person being bigoted, rather than their evidence being a guilt by association, that would be different but I haven’t seen such evidence and it seems like their community is largely hostile to bigotry.

I don’t mind. I like all kinds of women, cis, trans, tops, bottoms. I just like women.

Sounds to me more like you personally dislike a thing and are trying to push it off as being bigoted because you don’t like it. Listen I don’t like the Greentext communities either, I think their jokes are more on the stupid side, but what they aren’t is bigoted, at least I haven’t been able to find any examples looking through those communities.

If you don’t like them that is okay, but you shouldn’t spread lies about people or places just because you personally don’t like them.

So you’re upset they allow a Greentext community? That doesn’t seem like a good reason considering lemmy.ml has one and posts in that one are of similar standards and qualities.

I did read through those posts and they themselves seem benign. Especially compared to other communities like conservative which contain legitimately hateful shit.

I think a big part of it is just that many want control, they want to limit what we’re capable of doing. They especially don’t want us doing things that go against them and their will as companies. Which is why they try to block us from doing those things they dislike so much, like generating porn, or discussing violent content.

I noticed that certain prompts people used for the purpose of AI poisoning are now marked as against the terms of service on ChatGPT so the whole “control” thing doesn’t seem so crazy.

Late reply, I’m looking and I don’t see it. It seems their admins are doing a lot to squash a lot of that bullshit. Compare that to lemm.ee where they allow [email protected] to run unimpeded and only ban users and posts after I call them out here. Seems my home server is much worse than that one…

As a transfem tomboy I fully support this. I’ve already had my fair share of people arguing that I’m not really a trans girl because I like masculine things, because I still have a mustache, because I don’t try to have a super fem voice. People assuming someone is or isn’t a particular gender based on how they present is shitty and will always be shitty. Fuck people who do that. I’m glad these people aren’t welcome in our communities.
