We share the same instance and I’m noticing that I’m not getting that much update from the feeds I’m following. I had to check out the lemmy version of some of the communities to notice that they indeed have received new posts.

It might be an issue with our instance at the moment.

Rule 1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them.

This is in the interest of avoiding something that happens all the time with women only spaces on the internet and that is being overtaken by men.

This is especially a problem when we discuss our feelings towards men, especially if they are negative, because the discussion will inevitably and very quickly derail to men in the comments being offended and women having to temper their emotions, instead of actually talking about their own feelings on the matter.

It is sadly necessary as this problem is something that has basically killed most women spaces on the Threadiverse.

Which is in the end, following the Transphobe playbook. Because that’s what he is too. Fucking hell, I hate everything.

I guess in the end the big difference is that misogyny is systemic. It happens all the time, constantly. It’s deeply rooted into society, while misandry is more of like a personal opinion thing. One is the roots of the tree, the other is a leaf on a branch. One is systemic, the other is individualistic.

But to me, even simpler than that, this systemic misogyny is the reason why misandry exists. The other way around is simply not true.

That being said, misandry is something that I’m actively fighting against in my own head. I have plenty of reason to develop these feelings that are completely justified, but I don’t want to. Because I don’t want to start hating 50% of the population.

I grew up surrounded by men, and I want to love them. Because they are people and I know that this deeply rooted misogyny hurts them deeply as well, and that we would just simply all benefit from getting rid of it, including them. They are trapped in the masculinity that is forced upon them. Systemic misogyny is misandrist. It hates men and actively seeks to keep them miserable.

I would also like to give a specific mention of transmisandry, which is a real thing, and is kind of a problem in some circle. Especially with TERFs that like to go and harass transmasculine people online. Like, almost deeming them as gender traitor or whatever. The whole thing is, of course, deeply rooted in transphobia, but it’s still important to notice and to mention that the way we go against transfeminine people and the way we go against transmasculine people are very different, while both being rooted in misogyny.

Transphobia and homophobia are just a specific branch of misogyny. It’s also why you’ll see transphobes systematically trying to emasculate transfeminine people. Anyway, I could go on and on, and I kind of am so I’m gonna stop here.

Maybe? I don’t know about that. If it’s the case, there is a difference here. The person making the porn is a person that is actively targeting her. It’s somebody who lost an argument with her on Twitter and took it badly and decided to generate porn of her being purposefully gender-bent to be a man and using AI as a tool to be weaponized for transphobia.

For this person and her avatar, this is the closest thing to revenge porn that can be done to her. It’s quite frankly disgusting, and you can clearly hear that she is quite shocked by this. There is an entire question about consent that is brought up in this situation, and that needs to be discussed. :/

Damn, this developer is really hell bent on pissing off its fanbase, isn’t it?

I’d also like to propose an alternative, and that’s installing Piefed as a PWA by creating a shortcut to your phone’s homescreen or installing as an app on desktop, at which point it will run like an app.

It works quiet well and has become my primary way of using it. People tend to sleep on PWAs, but they’re great. :D

Instantly added to my wishlist, thank you!

As a concept, I really like it and I’m actually actively looking for games like these that just allow me to design rooms. That being said, I’m not really fond of the whole minigame thing in the way they are currently. To me, it feels like something that is just in the way of me accessing the gameplay, which is designing the room itself.

I do understand the want and the need to like gatekeep items, as to not overwhelm players with option in a fully sandbox mode, but this looks more like busywork. I don’t know. That being said, I really love the art style and I’m quite interested in this.

Sometimes these articles are a bit too real.

It’s because we have Trump to deal with that we have him to deal with.

Then watch as they pick their hate over their love for you…

Oh my god, this is adorable. Who is the artist, please?

…yaaaaawn. Again, Sam Altman is not worried about anything. This is just more AI hype… <.<

It’s fucking astounding to me how right-wingers are incapable of seeing a dystopia and not thinking it’s a utopia.

The fact that they somehow made this about Trump to the point of putting it in their Donald Trump category is… My god, I hate the term Trump Derangement Syndrome, but this is quite close.

I wasn’t convinced and I don’t think the internet was either. Listen, people are a bit desperate for some good news right now. However, I will admit that I was indeed shining and polishing my crab emoji. Just in case.

Can we like, don’t talk about people’s sexual relationships with economic terms, please?
