I will suggest reading this: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en Really helped me figure things out when I was questioning things

This community is not a place to debate the participation of trans women in sports.

Here's a digestible video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flSS1tjoxf0

Long story short the entire subject is being pushed by right wing lobby organizations to get people riled up about trans people and secure votes for the right. That's it. Do not fall for their bullshit.

If we all keep doubling then no one dies! let's not think too hard on the logistics after a few doublings

Left is when not burger but else food 😔

Blåhaj has disabled downvotes 😔

Hello everyone!

I'll be doing my best to increase our response time to bigotry and spam! I'm not sure what else to write here that hasn't been said, but uh I have two cute cats named Åsa and Akaya, a mother and daughter. They like stealing my chair

I first started looking for alternative communities after reddit killed api stuff, and some bad experiences on discord with moderators who were convinced they were allies yet allowed transphobia and harassment they considered harmless. I was also looking for a place to try and break out of my shell and talk to people like myself and lemmy and matrix has been great for me in that regard <3 I've made lots of friends here and I hope to help keep this place safe and comfortable for everyone

Anyways, hello again!

why censor a swear!!!1!!1!!1!

You can do all those things and also vote. So vote. Sure, votes won't make the system better, but you can make it harder for the fascists to get away with shit while you organize. Vote.

Racism is in the eye of the beholder 😔

Sarah Andersens stuff is so precious. I love it

It's compatible with grub? 👀

• Communities can have a topic, this means you can browse by topic! Nice but not mindblowing
• Communities can define post flairs! Basically very visible tags on posts that you can sort by. I've wanted this for a long time and some communities do this on lemmy by adding [flair/tag] to the title. Easy to forget to do. With it being a feature instead it's just much nicer and handier
• Wikis! Some communities really benefit from having a wiki alongside it, like my DIY HRT community! I'm super pumped for this one
• There's a NSFL flag for posts in addition to NSFW
• Lots of neat options for communities and the user. You can set communities to be mosaic instead of a list! Haven't tried it yet but it's cool that it's an option
• Built in custom css stuff
• The dev seems very active and communicative
• The dev isn't a transphobic tankie as far as I'm aware
• Everything seems to be better made than here. Did you know on lemmy you need to comment/post in a community to be made a mod? You also can't be unmodded unless you have a comment or post. On piefed there's a menu for this instead. Lots of just better little things like that
• More probably

The downside is Lemmy is more popular. I don't think there is a mobile app also (edit: there are mobile apps like Interstellar, but I dunno if they support all the non-lemmy features yet), just the web frontend. There might be more, but I just started using it. Also, since the instance is new it's still syncing posts and such from other instances and from lemmy

Edit:
Oh! And you can have "feeds" which are like multireddits. Instead of just your frontpage which acts as a singular feed you can have multiple custom feeds! Say a meme and a hobby feed f.ex, instead of everything being mixed

Edit:
One more negative is lemmy can't see the piefed only features like wikis. It's also newer and there seems to be mainly one contributor to the code, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are some bugs lurking around.

Non binary actually!

Edit: It looks like I'm wrong! See down below. The dev is enby while the mascot appears to be a girl

Reminder that the factorio dev is a pedophile, racist, misogynist, and probably other things too. Don't buy their game

This community does not allow tankies, platforming tankies, or whitewashing tankies. Lemmy has an actual tankie problem given that the actual devs are tankies and their servers are filled with tankies.

The comments in that post were filled with a lot of defense of authoritarianism and as such it was removed because I am very very tired of tankies who absolutely love worming their way into leftist spaces and talk about how all states are auth and about leftist unity while denying genocides, imperialism, defending oppressing workers rights, and other human rights abuses. Can they please stop posting here. The banner literally says fuck tankies.

Edit: Which is to say I removed it because it was clearly not correct as evidenced by the comments in that post. I could have replied or something but there were a lot of comments to deal with.

Hi!

Here's the context:

Your scenario wasn't terribly relevant to a nazi propagandist being hung after the war, after the holocaust. It came across as trying to paint the idea that nazis were hung as bad. When others brought up death tolls alluding to genocide you likened the idea of killing nazis to the current US government killing reporters.

I had a brief look through your profile after and it's clear you're no nazi, but we still found your comments in poor taste.

TBF there's not a lot of anti-commie music, but there is a lot of anti capitalist music. If you ignore the pro capitalist music we've at least kinda got the music.

Fuck the BBC. They've been consistently transphobic for a long time

uh oh
