“People are terrified. Every day I’m receiving emails, and texts and phone calls from folks across the state about, ‘Does this mean that my existence is illegal now? What happens if I need to use the restroom in public? What does this mean for my children whenever they go to school...?’”
@mercedesallen this is terrifying, here's a link to the actual law. What I'm wondering is how this will affect intersex people. Even biology doesn't nearly fall into little ideological boxes, and many people fall under several of these categories at the same time. Would they be allowed to use both bathrooms or neither?
@ngaylinn ah, makes sense. All of this fediverse stuff honestly makes me wish that there was a decentralized alternative that would let me customize the appearance more.
Looks like Bing can describe images now! And it can read, unlike Llava! Here's the description it gave for this image:
Received message. The image you sent is from a video game. The character is standing in front of a castle-like structure that is built on a cliff and has a wooden door. The structure is made of gray stone and there is a body of water below. The character is wearing a purple outfit and has a sword in hand. The sky is pink and purple with clouds. The game stats and options visible on the screen are "Skill", "Straight Chain", "Gil", "KP", "Map", and "Customization". Unfortunately, I don't have more information about the game or the character. Is there anything else I can help you with?
hey everyone,
if you've been keeping tabs on the internet drama you probably know about all of reddit shenanigans. when I first heard about the blackout I was really worried about loosing the 196 community and things like whenthe, r/traaa, and gay sounds shitposts so I decided to try and make an instance that could act as a central hub of sorts and try and keep these communities connected. it's really important that we bring these communities over to the fediverse if we want them to be resilient and I think this is the right step forward. I know things are still rough around the edges and there will be growing pains, but as the lorax said, "a tree falls the way it leans"
reddit and corporations will always lean to enshitification but for once we have something that leans the right way
if this is going to work, we need as many people as possible to start switching over and we are going to need your memes. lots and lots of memes. if we all get on board we can make this work
with this post I would like to officially announce fedi196.gay is up and ready for open registration
I love you all and I look forward to seeing you, wherever you wind up on the fediverse ❤️
