So earlier we were assigned mod for the community "queer defense front" on this instance.

The person didn't ask us to be mod or communicate with us at all, then promptly banned us for asking people kindly to not use ableist language.

The rules clearly said zero tolerance for hate, and ableism is hate to us. Plus it seems the person didn't ban those who were being hateful to us (at least not that we can see in the modlog), so double standards we guess?

If you want something specific you have to actually, you know, communicate.

We don't care about the ban (it's not a community we particularly care about), or whatever, just the sheer strangeness of it all and the fact that the person didn't apply the same rules to others as they did us.

We've blocked them and the community. But yeah, maybe don't assign people mods if you've never even asked them or communicated what you want? That's not a gift, that's a terrible responsibility you haven't given them any information or preparation for.

Image description: A queer comic like image. Two femme people are kissing in the first frame, one with purple and red hair, the other with blonde hair, the background is yellow. Then in the next panel the blonde haired person is kissing the red and purple haired person on the neck gently, the red and purple haired person reacts by saying "Mommy" in a moment of ecstasy. The last panel cuts to the red and purple haired person laying back on the bed, looking wide eyed and a bit confused or embarrassed at the blonde person and the blonde person looking at the red and purple haired person with a huge blush on her face, also looking embarrassed.

In which Khadija Mbowe (they/them) goes into the anti-aging propaganda that's so prevalent in patriarchy, capitalism, and other such systems of control where it benefits those in power to create disharmony not only between each other, but also in ourselves.

A worthwhile and powerful watch.

Warning: talks about death, aging, capitalism etc.

We keep trying, filling in the form and using the code from the link place and it just keeps telling us that there's an error no matter what we do. Could someone or somemany please look into it? Thanks!

We were wondering, what gives you species euphoria? It can be either something that happened one time or it can be something that gives you euphoria time and time again.

We'll start: One time we did something nice for someone else and they gave one of us a shiny rock and their deadname.

It gave us so much species euphoria.

What about y'all?

So using lemmy via the main web ui is very slow to load, and then sometimes only loads a few elements recently.

Can this be fixed?

So a while ago we attempted to edit a fandom page but another editor kept reverting the change because some scientific magazine or something had claimed we don't exist.

Would any of y'all like to help us finding or by providing irrefutable (or at least scientific) evidence that we do exist so we can edit the page safely and if they complain provide links, books etc?

No worries if not, just we hate plural erasure and science that tries to 'prove' we don't exist when we clearly do.

How trying to define ourselves or others define us by assigned sex at birth doesn't serve us and is generally oppressive and incorrect, both scientifically and socially.
