What is there to be proud of? An illegitimate court, house and senate bought and paid for by corporations and foreign governments, a capitalist economy that crushes 99.99 percent to lift the 0.01 even higher? These are points of shame, not pride.
Thank you so much. We need that more than anything right now — where transphobic content tends to be the default on the web.
If this is the time to go full aggressive for our rights, count me in!
(And if you’re here to passive-aggressively complain about how you « don’t care about people’s sexuality » and making everyone notice you’re leaving — let me be very active-aggressive in saying « good fucking riddance » to you.)
196 is a random content community with the simple rule of “post before you leave”, so its filled with memes ^.^
It’s also a very trans friendly place. But there was a thread recently with a bunch of “just asking questions”, and “trans people are just oversensitive”, and “I’m not a bigot, but most trans woman have a chip on their shoulder so I am no longer friends with them” kinda stuff, on a post a (trans) mod made complaining about people reporting a pretty questionable comment.
Even if people disagreed over the original comment, the thread about it ended up being transphobic as fuck.
So presumably the admins of lemmy.blahaj.zone (a trans-run instance, who host this, main, c/196 community, on the promise it would be very trans supportive) noticed the lack of moderation of that transphobic thread and are doing something about it ^.^
That linked to post was a response to an existing ongoing discussion that brought transphobes out of the woodwork. That post also had transphobic replies, and there were multiple discussions going on at once with active transphobes.
It was the ongoing transphobia that occurred around the initial discussion that prompted my post, not any specific single post.
As an US citizen, I pretty much count on EU regulations to protect me since my own government is too rife with fascist agitators and oligarchs to respond to the needs of the people.
In a few years we’ll probably see architects that play(ed) Minecraft a lot or were inspired by Minecraft to follow a career in architecture. Example 1, example 2.
I’ll go first: “You have to have children when you’re young,” told to me when I was in my late 20s, with no desire to ever have kids, and no means to support them, by someone divorced multiple times with at least one adult child who does not speak to them....
