Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

To be fair, the GOP has shifted so far Right, that conservative opinions nowadays are less "We need to be more fiscally responsible and try solutions outside of throwing money at problems." and more "So lemme tell you which minorities don't deserve rights and the specific reasons why they don't... the short version is it's all of them.. except my asian wife and my black friend... for now.."

. "So lemme tell you which minorities don't deserve rights and the specific reasons why they don't."

Bullshit. Just more of the hateful bigotry of the left than has divided things so greatly. You won't even engage, just mock an increasingly non existent strawmen

Trans people in red states say you're full of shit.

And your comment history reveals you as a lying fascist.

I guess my Florida based insurance provider dropping coverage for my HRT is "just a strawman" turns out

'My private anecdote disproves targeted state action!'

Jog on.

Asking if I misword something? I'm saying insurance companies are being actively complicit on this ongoing fascist movement by denying trans people coverage to HRT.

I'm glad you're better than this, but sadly it's not a straw man.

Edit: I think this is what they're referring to

There's a strange Internet derived obsession with being trans, and it's important to protect kids from permanent damage over a temporary phase.
