With !twoxchromosomes being closed due to being unmoderated, there is something of a vacuum for active safe places for women. What do you guys think the future should look like, and how do we get there?
Video Essay by non-binary video essayist Ryan Beard. It discusses misgony, missandry, and different strains of feminism, and explores how they approach men’s issues in patriarchy....
I haven’t finished the video yet, but I am enjoying so far. It seems to me, the core pattern here is that an adherence to and internalization of these strict gender roles nearly always make people unhappy, and that unhappiness tends to get externalized as blame towards the opposite sex (sometimes even for upholding these gendered expectations). Ultimately, this is in-part a result of the fact that heavily gendered individuals tend to associate with and seek out romantic relationships with other heavily gendered individuals. I am reminded of this article:
Looks like we’ve been making this stuff since 2006 and at decent enough volumes since then.
About 10 km of REBCO was delivered by SuperPower that year in the world’s first manufacturing demonstration to construct a 30 m long power transmission cable that was installed in the power grid
A cohesive culture has definitely formed distinct from the rest of the fediverse. I think microblogging as a paradigm kind of lends itself to this but Lemmy certainly has a distinct culture as well.
I don’t think it’s fair to write off the entire medium like that. They all share a common ancestor in Twitter and I think it’s fair to say the toxicity is inherited from there.
I would say yes, although there is the slim possibility that these few years are an outlier. No serious person should count on it, however, because the consequences of being wrong in spite of what we’re seeing are downright apocalyptic.
As an experiment, I fed the entire lyrics of Blue Oyster Cults Don’t Fear The Reaper in as a Prompt and this is what came out. Nice image, shitty text.
The biggest problem with traditional forums is the fact that participation requires yet another account. This is the most significant thing that discord has going for it, nearly everybody already has a discord account. Federated forums mostly solve this issue tho
I saw a highly upvoted post the other day about how a user would downvote all movie trailers because they considered them ads. A wild choice to make when you could just unsub from the movie communities? I think this is very much Lemmy’s brand of toxicity
Today I learned about Sublinks (here), an open-source project that aims to be a drop-in replacement for the backend of Lemmy, a federated link aggregator and microblogging platform. Sublinks is designed to be initially API-compatible with Lemmy, allowing existing Lemmy clients, such as Lemmy-UI, to integrate seamlessly....
In my experience even the communities that look dead can usually be revived with a little bit of regular posting. Thinking specifically of !women and !feminism
