I’ve heard bluesky servers are having issues because of this. Cool people are leaving, but kinda sad the platform they are trying to move to isn’t prepared for that and it doesn’t seem mastodon was getting a similar influx last I checked

Isn’t it already commonly believed he uses multiple accounts?

“where’s the meme?” is a meme.

I hate when I try to remember my master password without typing it and panic that I’ve forgotten my password. But when I got to type it, muscle memory is still there so no problem.

At $80/year for the online. You’d still be saving $40/year compared to 2 switch subscriptions. You’d save enough in 5 years to buy the 3rd and still be saving $20/year on subscriptions.

And given he wasn’t able to do the job of president due to dementia, I’d say incompetent also applies. Trump is just extra incompetent and extra criminal to almost comical degrees if we didn’t have to deal with results…

For me, it took me several months to use the 100 trial searches. Paying $5/month for like 20 searches isn’t worth it for me. Also just not into getting more subscriptions… wouldn’t matter if it was just 50 cents/month for the basic plan. If they had one-time-payment no-expiration option like 1000 searches for $10, I’d probably lean towards getting that.

Is it a square loop?

Cool. Being trans, not tolerating transphobia, and having emotes is comparable to being nazis?

Also, not suggesting people need to go there because its active. I could go to traa, egg, mtf, agender, enby, etc on reddit, but I don’t want to use reddit and a lot of those communities make hexbear look tame in terms of spamminess and immaturity.

Games is the largest games com by far in terms of posts and comments (150k comments and 15k post vs 71k comments and 3k posts on lemmy world…

News has most posts than any other news and about as many comments as lemmyworld.

Politics has the most posts of any politics coms, but far less comments than lemmyworld’s.

History basically has no competitors (150k comments vs 7k for the next largest)

Movies also has no competitors (75k comments vs 9k for the next largest).

Videos has 56k comments vs lemmyworld’s 13k

Music has 45k comments vs lemmyworld’s 6k

Urbanism has 44k comments vs fuckcar’s 19k

Granted, given Hexbear has been around for 4 years, the number of comments/posts is largely a side effect of age. But it also means calling them duplicates is probably misleading. OTOH, the main trans community there has been very active recently, dwarfing all other trans communities combined.

And is there any reason behind the name? A bear, but hexagon shaped, is their mascot.

Isn’t your instance federated with hexbear? Seems like it hardly blocks any lemmy instances.

I’m subscribed to pretty much all the trans coms I know of and traa is 90% of the trans content that shows up. Another 5% are other hexbear trans subs. Traa has as many comments in half a month as mtf@blajah has had in its entire existance and as many in a week as trans@blahaj has made in total (the two largest non-hexbear trans subs afaik).

Not really surprising. 10 out of the 10 most commented posts in the past year are on hexbear (the top 2 being the weekly trans mega threads). Granted, a lot of that is just the hyper-active posting of a few users. Regardless, if you want a trans community, there’s basically no active alternative to hexbear’s traaa here.

So many communities simply don’t have alternatives here. But I’m happier with the quality of the communities that do exist. So what if they don’t have spam bots sharing 6-12 month old memes that sometimes make no sense outside the timeframe they were post and users just repeating catch phrases for karma increasing the amount of “content”?

I never said i oposse it.

Fooled me.

Just that it sounds weird.

Seems sus. But honestly its weird what people are about, so I wouldn’t really blame you for feeling that way. For example:

“I doubt a label such as ‘vitamins for pregnant women’ would”

Back when I was an egg (ie: I had no clue I was trans), I remember specifically disliking when my parents got me shampoo with the label “men” on it. I’ve gone without deodorant because the one I usually got was out of stock and the next closest thing (the only other “vegan” one I knew of) was labeled “men”. I’ve avoided multivitamins marketed for “men”. I had no clue why that bothered me… I assumed I was cis-by-default. It still makes no sense why I care about any of that. But I certainly don’t doubt there’s trans men who care about such labels, even if just a little. Its probably not in the top 100 in the list of priorities, but there’s no reason to waste even a sentence defending that kind of wording.

Trans people already deal with enough BS elsewhere. No reason they should tolerate within their own communities. I’m currently banned from such a community I was a regular in and I’ll defend them banning me for what they thought I was saying (even though its based on a complete misunderstanding).

Seems like you put way too much effort in opposing such a simple change. Why care at all if its changed to “people”? You sound a lot like people “just asking questions.”

“Biological female” is also a big red-flag.

Some FTM may not even come out until they’re already pregnant. Some may choose to not take HRT for the purpose of having a biological child. And you don’t need to take HRT to be trans, so it also sound a bit too transmedicalist.
