Ha! The Discord GDPR/Data Export thing reveals that it's running models to figure out what gender you are. If you go to /activity/analytics/events-*.json and grep for predicted_gender you get something like:

<span class="st">{</span>
  <span class="st">"user_id"</span><span class="op">:</span> <span class="st">"282657081457115136"</span><span class="op">,</span>

Anyway, they seem to have this datapoint over time! Meaning you can make a graph of how male/female/NB you are according to discord, here is mine:

@benjojo good find! Quite silly to store these values at all, they could just compute them as needed. Of course, why on earth are they needed?

Surely I can't be the only person whose first reaction to seeing a company is named "Hugging Face" is to wonder if they sell Alien xenomorphs bloodily bursting out of human abdominal cavities as a service?

I mean, what were the founders THINKING?!?

I've received my first "report" on hugs.lgbt and I'm very confused ....

Two posts were reported ... neither were from hugs.lgbt posts ... one was a reply to one of my posts by a mutual, the other was a post by that mutual without any hugs.lgbt involvement ...

Did I receive the report because one of those was a reply to a post of mine?

But why the other one?

Also very confused as to why ... the first was a thank you reply to a post from me.

The other was a meme.

The category was "other" but no notes or any other information that I could discern 🤔 🤷‍♂️

From yesterday’s walk the biggest moth EVER! Ok the biggest moth in Europe maybe…the giant peacock moth. Difficult to get a clear photo without disturbing it - hand in one photo for scale!

#moth

The same moth but side-on and partially obscured by grass. One of its long feathery antennae is revealed.
Photo of the same moth with a hand behind it for scale. Its wingspan must be about 15-20 centimetres.

@helenclayton Easily my fav moth in my area, only spotted one adult and one caterpillar so far - both majestic creatures!

About Eurovision: I just want one of the acts to throw their song out of the window and give a performance of Queen's "Death on Two Legs", dedicated to Benjamin Netanyahu.

Is this too much to ask for?

There were some tricky bits in this one, but again, a little bit of lookahead did the trick.

Happy with this.
