“Why are you so upset about adult content bans? You don’t even post that stuff. can’t you just look at porn somewhere else?”
Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.
Extremely good point
Honestly my best advice for any trans woman coming here from Twitter is to obviously install shinigami eyes so that you can tell who's a crypto terf or whatever. But also to genuinely just search terf and radfem keywords and just go down the list and block like 300 people.
And then to take that a step further (because no amount of blocking is enough unfortunately) when they start interacting with your content, don't just block that person, take the time to go through their blog and block who they reblog from. Then if you notice one name popping up in the notes more than usual, go to that person's blog and do the same thing.
Deny then access. Don't prune the weeds, scorch the earth.

Reddit management threatening note to protesting moderators:
If I were a pro-protest subreddit member with sneaky intentions, here's what I would do:
I would get together with some other members and, after privately contacting the existing mod team to make sure they are on board, we would apply to be moderators. Then we would use this generous offer to become senior moderators and displace the protesting moderators like the scabs we are. Then we would reopen the sub.
Then, after a few hours to allow management to enjoy their victory, we would close it again.
After a couple of days, another band of clean-cut Company MenTM would step up and displace us. And then they would do it again.
I have faith in Redditors. They are the most thrawn of social media users. They can win this fight.
As a long-time Tumblr lurker and now an official Reddit refugee, I think it's fucking hilarious that Reddit corporate is trying to have mods overthrow each other to stop the virtual strike. They must have forgotten that Redditors once stopped real scabs from taking people's real jobs in real life. I remember when Redditors from ONE specific sub, r/antiwork, blocked million-dollar-company Kellog's from hiring scabs to run a factory, so they could ignore and eventually even fire union strikers.
A ridiculous amount of people spent HOURS spamming in fake applications. I remember someone eventually built a web scraping app to send in several dozens of fake applications a minute, and put it on github for folks to use. You could download it and let it run, and it sent hundreds of real-looking application submissions for the company to sort through. There were so many spam applications their whole website crashed, and Kellog's hired a specialist IT security team to quickly rebuild their application process to be activism-proof. And guess what? Redditors fuckin' wrecked that one too, all manually this time. And when breaking their systems started to prove ineffective, plots were made for folks who lived nearby the strike to physically go through interview processes without any intent to work, and waste their time on a physical HR level. All the while donations were gathered for the strikers and people were getting educated about their labor rights.
Those corporates are in for a fucking ride thinking they can win a pissing contest with people like that without suffering permanent losses of money and traffic. It's going to be delicious watching them get humbled.
reading wikipedia articles about history will expose you to the biases of guys with deranged and hyperspecific political positions you couldn't even imagine
every wikipedia article about like byzantine grain exports in 456 is propaganda written by a guy who has inexplicably made it his life's mission to rehabilitate the image of a random general who was poisoned by his horse at age 30 and every article about wwii is written by a guy who fantasizes about being part of an esoteric eastern european nazi paramilitary group and owns a shelf of books called like The Honor Of The Wermacht And Their Honor and thinks that the problem with modern warfare is that they need to make the tanks more racist
are you a girl or a boy
not really
never mind. i guess i am.

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames
like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture
Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone
Tumblr says this was posted Tumblr 2 hours ago. The post itself says “The International Astronomical Union just created about 50 signs..”
These 47 new signs were created back in 2017. I know it doesn’t sound like it, but that was 6 years ago. Since then, they’ve come even further in their project! In April 2021, the IAU published an additional 86 brand new signs for astronomical terms!
