There are plenty of cis gay folks. “Straight” just doesn’t work if you’re trying to describe non-trans people.

Had my name change hearing a couple days ago, I’m now legally Audrey! Going to the office for the first time in girl mode and I’m terrified. I’m honestly kinda concerned that the timing of this might prevent me from voting. I live in Seattle, though, so it won’t affect the Presidential election

I’m headed back into the office today after having had COVID last week. Yaaaaaaaay

For me, anyway, they/them is in its own category, where they aren’t my pronouns, but I have no issue with someone using them for me. I wouldn’t get upset unless someone is blatantly trying to use it to misgender me for whatever reason. In your situation, if it makes you feel more comfy to use gender neutral pronouns for me, I’m fine with it.

Interesting idea, but I don’t think that’d work for me. I only have one set of pronouns (she/her), anything else feels like a misgender to me.

It’s less disinterest and more hostility. The Lemmy devs straight up don’t want us here. Even if they fix the moderation issues, I don’t think it’s a great idea to stay on the platform in the long term.

Pretty crappy, really, I’ve been laid low with what is most likely a flu since Tuesday. I’m still sick, but I think I’m getting better now. At least it doesn’t seem to be covid(I took two tests and both came back negative).

Sometimes you just need to throw some hands to prevent worse violence down the line. It isn’t a perfect world and we’re a bunch of upjumped apes. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try to be better than that, but we should at least be realistic about the hand we’ve been dealt. That being said, perhaps you’re right about going the restorative justice route. I just worry because, this is getting normalized way past what anyone should feel comfortable about. Like, I feel we should do everything we can to prevent people from becoming Nazis. If naming and shaming deters people from going down that rabbit hole, I think we at least have to consider it.

In 99% of cases, you would be correct. However, these are Neo-Nazis we’re talking about here. Like, if they got their way, I’d be dead, so so would a lot of other innocent people. Their ideology has caused unspeakable horrors, and it’ll happen again if we let our guard down. There has to be a social cost to being a Nazi. Like, this shit is getting way too close to the right wing mainstream. This isn’t a matter of just “people we don’t like”. They’re dangerous. Name them. Shame them. Ruin their lives. Force their evil ideology back into the deep, dark fringes where it belongs.

If they’re informative and/or helpful, I don’t mind bots. If they’re those stupid pointless novelty bots that were plaguing Reddit, they can go away.
