Heads up for those that aren’t familiar with the census. It is specifically for folk who don’t fit in the gender binary. That means it’s not aimed at cis folk or binary trans folk

“Has a future” in this context means “Streaming media without explicit ownership rights will continue to be here/relevant in to the future, unlike the idea of ‘owning’ digital media”
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program....
This was my conment on a post saying that pregnant people should always be used instead of pregnant women. My comment was under someone saying vitamins for pregnant women should say vitamins for pregnant people. I have a trans son and many trans friends. My comment was not promoting hate! Fucking reddit mods
Maybe its regional or cultural but the FTM trans I know well wouldn’t object to being referred to or lumped in with pregnant women on a general basis and if they did they are fully capable of correcting those refering to them with whatever term suits them.
Cool. Whatever works for them.
But it’s worth being aware that as you’re not trans yourself, the whole “I have trans friends who are ok with this behaviour many trans people feel is problematic” just sounds like the same excuses bigots have used over the years. “I have black/trans/female friends who are ok with <insert problematic topic>”.
Secondly, even if you are accurately representing their perspective, no one is taking away anyones right to identify with whatever terms best work for them. The issue is not pushing terms on to others who don’t want them.
Your friends can identify with pregnant women all they like, but it becomes an issue when trans men who don’t share that stance get told that they’re the problem
And this is why you were banned. You posted bullshit. And when trans people explain why it’s a problem, you tell them that no, actually, they’re wrong, and that you, the person who isn’t trans, knows how they should feel.
Before Musk, Twitters advertising was driven by engagement, and engagement was driven by encountering things that made you angry. So they were slow to respond to anything but the most egregious cases of hatred and bigotry.
It doesn’t block them though does it? My understanding is that it simply filters them so that you don’t see them anymore. They’re still there doing their thing though.
a) Make sure you state whether it’s simply a matter of breaking community rules, or whether it needs an admins attention. As it stands now, admins see all reports made for all communities on our instances, which can be a lot. I leave reports for communities that I don’t moderate, but they then sit around until a moderator actions them. And the large incoming volume, plus the older ones hanging around can make it hard to tell at a glance which ones require an admins eyes.
b) If it’s not immediately obvious from the reported post, tell us where to find the context we need to see why the post is a problem. “Look at posters history” / “Will make sense if you read the previous post” etc.
It’s helpful. The issue is the moderation with mass removal of content doesn’t always federate in ways that are obvious. And it was worse with older versions of lemmy.
Report it, and at least your instance admins can remove it from your instance
This camera has a “bird detection mode” that spots them and gets the focus right on their eye! It’s amazing. It makes it possible to catch them on the wing.
It also has a “pro shooting” mode that captures in to a buffer as long as you half hold the shutter down, and then dumps the buffer to the card when you do a full press. Which means that you can use it to capture moments that require exact timing!
They were so weird! Their eyes were really light, and their pupils dilated, and they were behaving strangely. I was wondering if they’d been in to some fermented fruit or something…
