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>
  <span class="st">"predicted_gender"</span><span class="op">:</span> <span class="st">"male"</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:

neatchee, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to Epilepsy

Anyone in my extended network have knowledge about or experience navigating the US healthcare system with regards to diagnosis and treatment of progressively worsening epilepsy?

I've got a bunch of knowledge around healthcare and feel that my brother-in-law is receiving substandard care given his current condition, but I'd like to bounce it off someone with experience in this specific area before I start getting upset with people.

Boosts appreciated!

hey all, I'm between jobs right now and still trying to figure things out after a cross-country move, so if anyone would be interested helping out a little bit I'd be super grateful.

especially if you're a guild wars 2 player and I've helped you out at all or you appreciate the work I've put into the community, it'd mean a lot. Thanks everyone

Pillaged from BlueSky:
"20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

Next week will be the first data-mining post in ages but it being an expansion launch it will be limited to things like weapon- armor- and other skins, items like infusions and gemstore items to prevent any possible story spoilers.

Filtering all of this will take a bit of time

sup. is an open source encrypted fediverse instant messenger, similar to whatsapp, made by pixelfed.

The beta will be launching later this month, and btw most fediverse accounts will work, not just Pixelfed 😉

kissane, 9 months ago to Futurology

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

the worst part about moving around the fediverse is like, how do my followers on mastodon know that I'm on calckey now? what do i do to like, move my presence around reasonably well at all? idk its just strange

anyway, follow me here if you wanna keep up? I might move back to mastodon but I'm gonna give calckey a fair shot for a bit
