Webring integration would be very cool so many queer people still use them

Seconding simplex. Having a built in way to obfuscate IP is very nice. But its more for privacy extremism and small group chats for people in vulnerable situations, matrix is best for most situations e.g. community and interest groups. I also had some ease with setting up simplex with my grandma, funny enough. Not needing to make an account made it much easier for her.

Hope Lemmy gets a simplexchat field one day!

Signal for your family (mostly due to interface), Matrix for online communities, and SimplexChat if you're trying to be a privacy extremist. I did have some success with setting simplexchat up for some old people over the phone because they didn't need an account.

This is a high level of cope. Those imports are worth almost half of Canadas GDP.

I vow to make this comm 1000% more trans and leftist if appointed mod 🤓

I am in cahoots with the international trans mafia. I will not show anyone any quarter. (I already mod shit on here)

lol 🍿 honestly hope the instance just goes back to being a trans instance, hurry up and leave

Well, cool, but you're a highschooler so you don't have much real world experience, though being a closeted queer as a highschooler is definitely a hellish and radicalizing experience, I've been there. Also, as a trans person thats been transitioned for a long time, you begin to realize the number of allies you have is very few and debate is very much a waste of time (fun for cis people, terrifying for trans people) and its far more important to build independence and resilience for the community and remove awful people from your life. Hexbear has mutual aid drives and housing support groups that have saved many trans people from homelessness and even their lives. Think: does SJW or lemmy.world do the same, or are they just all hot air and complain about 'tankies' in a vague way while doing nothing? Is it fine to be rude to people who think debating your existence and the existence of other marginalized people is good fun?

A place with a high amount of queer and trans socialists that all the cishets on the fediverse mald about. The instance is something like 66% queer / queer adjacent and 51% are trans / trans adjacent. Essentially, a lot of people are very aggro about the fact that they have carved a safe space out for themselves prior to lemmy becoming popular recently. Tldr:

Here's some of their demographic surveys.

Truly unhinged that they decided to come out on this. Fellas, you are fucking Swiss why throw yourself under the bus for the US election

Its honestly kinda weird, bazzite and nobara are fairly big. Must be a bug

Edit: Looks like flatpack usage prevents them from monitoring OS, a lot of fedora stuff uses the flatpack for steam. Flatpack users are 5.73% of all linux users, most are on steamos.

In my experience, Nobara requires way less fiddling and works out of the box. CachyOS was way more fiddly. I have newer hardware so things are a bit weird for me in general.

Do wish Nobara had more maintainers. Cachyos isn't a whole lot better in this regard either, if you wanted something for gaming that has a lot of maintainers you should probably go for Bazzite. Personally, I had issues with Bazzite as well, Nobara seems to play nicest with new hardware out of the box.

 

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/[email protected], the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

 

If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something

This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities. It will also make reactionaries seethe and make it easier for mods to purge them, and make trans people feel safer all over the fediverse.

 

Hello, if you are transgender and socialist, please make an application below. We have lax requirements, I'm basically hoping to copy the success of Hexbear's trans community. Basic ideas of modding this space:

  • Rule with an iron fist. This is meant to be a safe place for transgender people. If someone is making that not happen / is fucking the vibes, they should be gone.

  • Purge transphobes on sight

  • No leftist infighting. Anarchists and communists can be friends

  • Suggest to cis and trans people that they change their username to include pronouns so no one misgenders them

Hey folks, hoping to have a semi-permanent thread for compiling resources to make finding really cool posts easier. Please suggest links and info in the comments below. I consider this necessary because there's a lot of things we would like pinned but obviously things get very crowded quickly. This thread will start sparse and I will edit new things in as people suggest them.


Trans Chemist Series

These posts are done by a Hexbear user that I have verified as legit, offering unique information about trans DIY hrt, including quality sources, sanitation, storage recommendations. Verified by very expensive industrial chemistry equipment.


DIY Electrolysis Series

There posts are also done by a Hexbear user that is making an open source DIY electrolysis setup.

Webrings and Friends

 

i know people here have a sour taste over hexbear but im so happy to see trans spaces on the fediverse popping off, im so done with corporate social media and its great to see.

love seeing hundreds of trans people vibing

 

I'm looking for ones that ideally don't log IP. Is there a guide somewhere that looks into each of these instances and whether or not they fulfill the privacy promise?

I'm most interested in Invidious.

I thought this poll and their previous trans poll were interesting. Blahaj also had a poll with about 40 responders.

I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I've found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search 'fast food' and it'll pull up anything related to that near me. I've tried things like OrganicMaps, and while it is blazing fast and very private in comparison to Google Maps, it unfortunately does not have the best information.

Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?
