idk, I just know that the old instance already have problems with power users and reifying that will make the problem worse.

I think this was always an intended feature (I’ve certainly been hearing about it for years as something people want/devs want to add), in addition to a user tagging system (i.e. users adding tags to their own usernames (e.g. pronoun tags). the main difference, though, was that it was something the poster or mods/admins could add and not something for the userbase at large to vote on. I think making it a voting system allows abuse. like consider a large group of transphobes adding tags to posts in trans comms, for instance.
a trusted user system is it’s own can of worms.
no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.
nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.
nah, they’re just good at posting. up your game.
the British took over Palestine from the Ottomans, suppressed decolonization movements, then partitioned it to form Israel. during the formation of the Israeli state, Palestinians were slaughtered and driven out of their homes in an event known as the Nakba - which translates as “The Catastrophe”. since then, there have been a series of wars resulting in the slow but steady encroachment of the Israeli state - look ip maps of the region over the decades - and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. in such an atmosphere, nothing but mutual hate is possible.
lol the US security apparatus is bad but it’s not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.
nothing shitty about it. controlling nukes ends the occupation. Palestine is the greatest concentration camp on earth. there is no price too high to pay to end that. it must end.
unironically, nothing would end Israel’s belligerence faster
so to be clear, when Israel bombs schools and hospitals, when they cut off food, water, and electricity, those things should be done to Israel?
redditisfun, it was a third party reddit app
meat is much less sustainable than non-animal food sources
fair enough
what sounds ridiculous is bigot lips flapping.
yep totally fair. I mostly interact with younger trans people - a lot of the boomers are just straight up dead here because of how the government handled AIDS. so there isn’t the same kind of memory. like 40 is unfortunately the oldest I’ve met. it’s rage inducing to think about - I transitioned with literally zero wise elders around to provide guidance.
TERF ass trans people
yeah, I’d be curious to learn why. like I’m all for a different umbrella term but it’s hard to pick one without understanding the complaint.
China also appears to be improving on this in real time, though official policy still lags behind e.g. Cuba.
