Nobody is worshipping Bernie here, nobody said "King Bernie" and this straw man you constructed doesn't exist. He just acted like an adult by calling out immature behavior and was praised for it. That's it. What an odd, overly hostile reaction lol

Trump will go complete fascist

Yes, as opposed to his super progressive stances he's had up until this point... He's always been a complete fascist, thankfully for us he was just too dumb to fully capitalize on it while in office.

If you think that's transphobic I feel sorry for your heart rate, it must never have time to rest. That's just somebody stating their sexual preference, albeit using insensitive wording. But sexual preferences against penis is not transphobic. It's just that, sexual preference, which is valid.

People are in there calling trans people karens with a persecution complex,

One person said this and the other comments rightfully jumped down their throat.

there’s tons of defense of treating trans men like shit

Not there was not.

"allies” telling trans people they’re overreacting, all kinds of inexcusable shit.

I'm trans and will say you're overreacting, a lot.

If this is how lemmy 196 is gonna be I hope this place crashes and burns

K, you can leave anytime you like. That's always been allowed.

Yeah, they're just stating their sexual preference. Maybe a bit insensitive in the wording about the boobs but still not transphobic.

Edit: Wowee The comments turned into a shitshow 14 hours later. As a trans person, please disregard Unmarketable Plushie. They speak without understanding the greater context and do so with animosity, leading them to have to apologize multiple times in this post alone. Please know that most of the trans community is not like that and the inflammatory attitude you see there is generally (thankfully) only in online spaces, not irl.

It's a good start, now let's keep that momentum with some new rail lines. Maybe even passenger rail. Come on.

Really brave of them, that's not an easy thing to do considering the circumstances they're under. I hope they all stay safe during their protests. Or that there was anything I could do to help them.

Federation is stupid

So don't use it.

convince me otherwise.

... the Department claimed in court that the records requested did not exist.

... the records were produced in March 2023.

I normally don't like using generalizing statements but I sure do hate all Republicans. So sick of their hate and greed fueled by lies and deception.

So if I'm understanding right, based on their recommendations this will all be addressed as more moderation and QOL tools are introduced as we move further down the development roadmap?

Until we get ranked choice voting or similar the Green Party is a joke with zero chance of election. Voting for them only helps Republicans at this point in time.

Enterprise IT infrastructure admin here, I've imaged thousands of windows laptops over a decade and dealt with Edge since it was implemented, never seen anything like this. I'm sure you're confident in your abilities but you messed something up real bad or have malware of some kind. No question about it, this is not typical for any version of Edge.

I might be interested in reading the rest of that review if it's available to read online. That's a great opener lol

Trump isn’t a fascist.

I had the first comment in that post, I saw every comment thereafter. You're making shit up about what happened in those comments. Or I guess that's just how your warped view of reality interpreted it. Yikes.

I used to be like you, angry at the world and blaming everyone but myself. I hope you come to terms with your anger and learn to process that instead of lashing out at others like you're doing. Meditation helped me, best of luck.

The person in the screenshot was being asked if they'd date a trans man, they gave that response. Which is to say yes, but that they have a sexual preference for femininity which would make it difficult as most trans men are dysphoric about their feminity especially pre-op. He said it in not the best word choice but the sentiment is not transphobic. Big "he a little confused but he got the spirit" energy.

OP is going to tell you a bunch of other shit. Looks like the post might've been removed but what they're saying was happening in those comments did not happen. They just seem to be a very, very angry person.

Can you see my reply? I'm on lemmy.world and I thought it was still defederated from Beehaw so I shouldn't be able to see your comment O_o (I'm used to being more active on my beehaw account so using my lemmy.world account threw me off, disregard this lol)

P.S. Yay trans rights and having a pro-trans meme space 😄

I was going to say, I'm pro-bikini but used to live in Texas and wore longer sleeves to keep the sun off my skin because it kept me cooler doing that than if I wore a short sleeve shirt.

Lol it's not Republicans voting for the green party, the green party has only ever siphoned votes from the Democratic candidates.

Who's ganging up on you? If anything you're the one ganging up by trying to flame the person in the screenshot for answering what their sexual preference is when someone asked them.

There was nothing that was "blatantly transphobic" other than the Karen comment that rightfully had several rebuttals shutting it down.

I don't stick with people just because of characteristics we share. They have to be a good person for me to want to support and be with them. You are not that, so I will not defend you just because we're both trans. Trans people can suck too, as you've shown.

Jokes on her, I'm never going to be able to retire in our current system anyway!

Check mate 😏

More granular moderation tools.

But in the last dev AMA they made it clear that wasn't a priority. Honestly it killed a large chunk of excitement I had about Lemmy. Without ways for mods to keep the communities free of shit heads the communities won't be sustainable and will stop growing.

That's exactly what a ghost on the Internet would say.

Yup. It's why the only time I play online games now is with friends or not at all. Even then it's pretty much just co-op against the game rather than against other players. I only have so much energy for gaming and am willing to spend zero of that energy on toxic nonsense.

51% of the fediverse, like the article showed.

That's a single instance, not the entire fediverse. I know reading is hard sometimes.

But it appears to me some are so disappointed from meta (or maybe preoccupied) that they will never give meta a chance.

Where have you been the past 15 years?? Meta was given a chance, over and over and over again. They've shown and continue to show that they do not care about the communities on their platforms, they don't care about privacy, they don't care how their algorithms push alt-right garbage, they even encourage it as some studies have shown. That's not even getting into half the shit they've done to ruin communities and the internet at large.

Anybody that wants to "give Meta a chance" on the Fediverse has to be a corporate shill or just real, real dense.

Dear Meta:

Signed, The Fediverse

Unpopular opinion? Mastodon is a better Twitter than Lemmy is a better Reddit.

That's not unpopular, that's just fact. I enjoy Lemmy but it's fairly new. Mastodon has been around for a while longer and is a much more mature platform with more QOL features because of that. Comparing them on that basis doesn't really prove or mean anything at this point. Of course the teenager is more developed than the toddler, that's how it works. Lemmy will get to the same place with time.

The GOP is attempting to destroy democracy, the Dems are not. The GOP are trying to subjugate me as a queer/trans person and POC as well, the Dems are not. The GOP are removing human rights from us, the Dems are not. The Dems are trying to pass green energy legislation, gun control laws, and more while the GOP are blocking it.

Those are some pretty good god damn reasons.

I can see Zoop's comment, but Zoop can't see mine. Because beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world but lemmy.world has not chosen to defederate from beehaw so it still gets the comments from beehaw users.

Actually because all these replies are to my lemmy.world account Zoop can't see this entire exchange, and I can't see it on my beehaw account either. I just had a brain fart.

I wouldn't hold your breath, they didn't even want to remove the Nazi instance in their AMA.

Edit: To the responses, great, it's gone. Removing that pedo content shows that they're not too overworked to purge content like that from join-lemmy. So there's no reason for them not to remove the Nazi instances being advertised on the front page of join-lemmy. We'll just look the other way on that one I guess.

I don't have a horse, can I borrow yours?

I mean, it's Raddle. That place has always been pretty shit with toxic views, this doesn't necessarily surprise me tbh.

Western intelligence lead to a western nation making a decision? Really hitting some top notch news here, CNN.

Where in the fuck did that come from?? This has nothing to do with violence against trans people, this has nothing to do with dead naming. I know you seem to be angry but stay on topic.

This is about a cis man who was asked if he would date a trans man, and the comment section that happened after. Nothing else.

He said he would date a pre-op trans man, because he is not attracted to penis and is attracted to breasts. He recognized that it wouldn't be an easy relationship due to the dysphoria most trans men feel about those two areas, therefore he likely would not end up dating a trans man. He used not the best wording to express this. The comments were mainly in agreement that it was not particularly transphobic. A few comments in the post were transphobic and were then rightfully flamed by the replies. Now here we are.

Yeah, but I'll probably do it at least two more times before the day is over.

Wrong. Dead fucking wrong. Due to our current shitty system the only parties with any chance of winning are Dems or GOP, every vote that doesn't go to the Dems is another point the GOP has over them. If you don't vote for Dems you're facilitating fascism. Simple as.

I don't like our choices but we don't have the option to be fucking picky right now, there's fascists at the door and they're working hard to ruin our lives.

There should be an instance of just Freds that's called the Frediverse. You have to send them ID to prove your name is actually Fred and only Freds are allowed on the instance. I'd follow those communities as a non-Fred.

i want to do is as a hobby

So do the thing.

or a goal if possible but im worried i might fail my goal, such as starting a peertube channle.

If your goal is to start a channel, you won't fail because that's easy. Just start it and boom you're done. Goal accomplished.

Now if your goal is to start a "successful" PeerTube channel things get interesting. Mainly, what do you define as successful? Lots of viewers? That's doable. Profitable? That becomes harder. Sustainable? You could do that imo. Just a place to share your thoughts? You got that. There are more ways to define success but those are just examples.

So the first thing to do is really ask yourself what your goal is for this channel. What do you want it to do or represent?

at the moment i dont have to many goal and i thought peertube might help a little, if that makes sense.

I think it makes sense, but I'll say be careful not to burn yourself out or get down on yourself if it's not shaping up how you expected. Especially since you haven't quite defined what you're using your channel for.

Good luck OP

it's not like the “genital preferences” discussion is preamble to the “not disclosing your trans/genital status is tantamount to rape” discussion.

Not when they're directly asked what their sexual preferences are it's not?? Somebody asked him what his sexual preferences were, how is a cis person supposed to honestly answer that question if any time they do people like you accuse them of being transphobic?

I'm not saying that's not an issue it's just wildly unrelated to the topic at hand.

Beans was SO two weeks ago, gawd.

Biden said in a statement to People magazine: "This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter..."

I agree, Joe. I don't give a shit about your family just your policies that affect our lives. These articles are so useless. Shame on you Jeff, get it together.
