Yes

this sucks so hard we need an alternative to tumblr's format but using tech like lemmy

Yes. I do so when it's within my means. And I wish them well because it's not easy being considered an unperson on top of whatever circumstances brought them in that position in the first place.

The audacity for them to try this when we require pronouns and display them prominently but sure, we must be really committed to the bit. So much that we have several communities and do reading groups as well.

Maybe they should join us in reading through Trans Liberation, they might actually learn a thing or two.

I'm so glad I ditched that instance for here. I might lurk a lot but I know this place has got my back. I love my comrades!

Didn't happen soon enough, good riddance.

Playing as a Sage, can confirm.

I've been using Jerboa and enjoy it a lot, the only gripe I have is no easy access to custom emoji.

This level of transparency and working with the community while self reflecting and being open to discussion is such a breath of fresh air on the Internet. Thanks for all the hard work the team does to help achieve that while trying to ensure the safety of our most vulnerable users.

As for the ND community on here, I'd love to see that revived and also expanded to include disability rights as a whole.

A giant tomboy, having attachment to the "weird girl" characters, pretending to be Tuxedo Mask while my friends down the street were Sailor Scouts, avoid wearing any type of bra for the longest time and not understanding why anyone would want to emphasize them, discomfort with tight clothing, picking boy characters more than girl ones, etc. Granted some of that is also the neurodivergence-- I think being autistic was a factor in my journey since I wasn't attached to or aware of a lot of the social aspects of gender presentation, anyways. I consider myself nonbinary but also butch (butch-as-gender).

That's fair! I'm sure there are decent ones out there, it's finding them that seems to be difficult in no small due to tech culture (and especially combined with corpo culture). 😔

Hearing the things my partner has been through on various projects I gotta agree with this meme.

:dean-smile: because their admins are proactive in reaching out to us and it's a relatively small, niche community. Speaking as someone who's learning programming (and this might be a conflict of interest in that case), we need less reactionary techies and the field (like all labor) could really benefit from collective action.

Great post, I'm way overdue for reading this. Also sharing the file with all my friends is praxis.

i love my choccy mint chip but halo top had(?) this green tea mochi flavor that was rly good

You first. Follow your leader.

I'm relatively new here, so with that context in mind... I'm glad I was able to find out this place exists after it disappearing on but even so, opening to federation like this should not come at the cost of our trans comrades and comrades of color. I'm all for defeding from all but grad (and maybe lemmy.ml), as well as keeping applications in place for the foreseeable future. People are well aware of this place by now; Those that want to participate will find a way, or lurk as they learn.

Fingers crossed I can get my meds since I'm out of refills and got no insurance. Sometimes the doc does a solid and gives at least one more month beyond the refill amount on the bottle.
