Yeah he apparently started making a statement to the press and only got about 5 words in before freezing and going blank, a classic show of senility.

Great post terrible title.

Reasonable people can have disagreements about trans rights.

For instance, the complexities of solving trans issues in sports, does the age of HRT matter for gendered leagues and title IX? Rule changes occur in sports leagues every year, how will acknowledging trans people change the ways we revise rules for safety, competition, entertainment, and sportsmanship? Should certain sports start to franchise into coed/nonbinary leagues?

For instance the best approach for teach children acceptance and tolerance towards peers who may come to identify with a different gender thsn assigned. There can be conservative and liberal approaches to teaching tolerance.

For instance the difference between the Human Rights campaign that wants LGBTQ civil rights to mimic POC civil rights (the capitalist conservative path, btw) versus groups that advocate liberation politics and taking civil rights in a more left wing direction.

Those are political disagreements. QAnon-fake-news trans lobby conspiracy is not a political disagreement - it's just trolling.

We are all happy to engage with competing worldviews

What you call "far right" and "extremist" is actually normal, conservative, and Christian. What you call "hateful" is actually just truth telling.

This isn't a competing worldview, or rather, it's a competing worldview in the same way that phrenology and alchemy are competing ways to view anatomy and chemistry. Like, it's possible to genuinely believe in these things if your conditions of childhood existence are so constrained, isolated, or manipulated that you are happier living life in your own personal 'Truman show.' But the rest of us don't have an obligation to play along with your fantasy.

Most of us here on the internet have at some point met someone we've had a reasonable political disagreement with but could walk away understanding each other better due to those disagreements. Most of us would even say thise diagreements have gone in both political directions. The same cannot honestly be said for folks with your version of a 'world view.' It's like a method actor but worse because it lacks any goal, it's like a person suffering mental but worse because the cause (Patriarchal models of religion) is external, intentional, and had been prosthlytizing delusion as a worldview for millenia.

Eukaryotic life: Cancer is a bug in the programming left over from our primitive single celled days.

Slime molds: Cancer is a social construct, actually.

Now say it again but replace crytpocurrecy with Website aggregation. Its honestly not that different from leaving the big centralized reddit for the Fediverse... only to mostly end up in a few relatively huge alternatives in the name of decentralizing. Its just... human nature.

The beauty is it doesn't matter too much. I'm seeing and replying to this from a kbin instance of this post, you see.

Whever anyone asks what the internet used to be like I send them to a little old site called www.homestarrunner.com It's still up after all these years. Truly beautiful.

Some reddit mods have turned their unpaid volunteer janitor gig on Reddit into a business without redditors realizing. For ex. Onlyfans was started by mods in NSFW subreddits who used reddit up votes to decide which models to recruit models who in turn would bring horny traffic over.

Lol, I can't believe what I'm reading. Reddit admitting to the mod community that they have a duty to keep spaces "accessible to users." They've had 20 years to keep their spaces accessible to people who require screen readers and so on. It's been crickets until this week.

I agree. I also think that beehaw's defederation with Lemmy.world and Sh.itjust is a positive thing! If communities want to self censor, let them. If you want to interact with content from both, join both, or join an instance that maintains federation with both.

At first I thought you could only have one federated account because beehaw registrstion page wouldnt process but I think they've just been flooded with requests.
