My relationship with gender didn't so much manifest that way.

Before I came out and accepted myself, I openly told myself I "should have been a girl", but I also believed I wasn't, and that was that. I didn't really feel anything at the idea of femininity. That was my experience of feeling gender

It's because of your app. Login with default lemmy UI in your browser and you'll be able to create it.

 

For those quick off the mark, you may already have seen her name appear in the list of lemmy admins! We've brought Jorunn on board, as she's already staff on our piefed instance, and she has been helping moderate lemmy via our admin bot, which can approve signups, delete spam etc. So, she now has her own keys to the castle to make her life easier!

You can reach out to her for issues around community/instance moderation, regarding our lbz users etc. Kaity and I are still the best contacts for sys-admin related issues however.

Anyway, welcome aboard Jorunn and thank you for taking this on. I certainly appreciate it :)

FYI, that cul-de-sac is from Pluribus, and it was built specifically for the show

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That cul-de-sac was built for specifically for Pluribus, so that they don't end up with the Breaking Bad situation where people throw pizzas on the roof of the house that was used as Walter and Skylers house in the show. It wasn't in Breaking Bad.

My D&D group started off with one token girl. Then he transitioned. So I became the token girl.

lbz ignores downvotes in any case

The thing is though, no one actually changes their opinion because Musk spouts contradictory bullshit. His fellow transphobes just see him pushing transphobia, and don't care what he's actually saying. For them as well, the point is the hate. The words are just as meaningless, whether it's their words or someone elses. The only thing that matters, is that it pushes hate.

For people that are already trans allies, his words don't change anything.

And for people who are on the fence, who don't know how to feel about trans folk and their rights, musks words won't change anything either. The thing that turns fences sitters in to supporters is seeing the human face of trans people. It's the experience of trans people shifting from a hypothetical talking point in to real people, who are impacted by the hate. And again, that has very little to do with the words people use.

No. Musk and other transphobes don't actually believe what they believe because of the reasons they state. They believe what they believe, and say whatever feels right in the moment to support their hate, and don't care in the slightest if it contradicts another of their beliefs somewhere else. The hate is the point. The words are just window dressing.

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

Of the four real instances in that image, there are three different software platforms.

This is just regular moderation, though.

It's using the existing tool, but making a small portion of them (approving applications) available to a much larger pool of people

it doesn't resolve the question I raised about what happens when two instances disagree about whether an account is a bot.

If the instance that hosts it doesn't think it's a bot, then it stays, but is blocked by the instance that does think its a bot.

And if the instance that thinks its a bot also hosts it, it gets shut down.

That is regular fediverse moderation

If you're interested, and use Blåhaj Lemmy as your main instance, let me know and I'll add you as a moderator. You'll then be free to add other off instance mods if you like, but the primary mod needs to be a Blåhaj Lemmy user,

Planning a heist (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

This Kookaburra, was staring at the chips of a guy who had laid down on the grass and closed his eyes. A moment later, the heist succeeded!

If you're trans masc or trans masc aligned, have a lemmy.blahaj.zone account, and an established history and are interested in moderating this space, please let me know!

 

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

 

Thanks to Kaity Blåhaj PIx and Blåhaj Tube are up and running!

Feel free to check them out!

For now, it's just me moderating, so applications to join may not be instant. If we start to get busy, we'll onboard some more mods in the future.

Enjoy!
