That first part is where I’m stuck lol. I am fine with maintaining a good ratio but have limited bandwidth to pass a big exam or get in with the right crowd socially…

None of your business, frankly. Those are our genitals and we’re human beings not medical curiosities.

Asking us to defend publicly that our genitals are “good enough” by deep diving into the details of how a very complex and advanced surgery is done is utterly dehumanizing behavior. Anyway, I’ve literally never had a man say he felt there was something off with my genitalia and that’s including men who I never disclosed to & later asked me about pregnancy risks (implying they still believed I was cis). So this person is utterly misinformed and frankly speaking out of his ass.

Don’t ask again. Be kind and respect people’s privacy when the topic is about their genitalia. Thanks.

His modlog history also has some lovely 2016 anti-SJW flavour right wing troll cringe in it about cultural appropriation and “”“reverse racism”“”, too. Truly a sad person who showed up here with an agenda, try not to let the lowest common denominator here drag down your day, he’s so not worth it.

This is an interesting idea and provides some inspiration thank you

So with all due respect I think you’re coming at this from a different set of experiences and assumptions as to what constitutes “good content.”

I’m a transsexual and many of us have already migrated into closed Discord servers in order to specifically avoid what you consider to be “benefits” of federating with large instances.

The same things you think are so great about Reddit have been driving us off the platform for years in search of more niche and protected communities.

I’m not denying that your use case here is valid. Just that it’s a very mainstream view of what good social media is. But mainstream appeal doesn’t necessarily mean better for all of us in all communities.

The fediverse has the potential in the digital world to be like gay villages once were in meat world. Isolated and self-segregated, safer than most places though hate crimes and bath house raids still continued, and essential for organizing networks of support/protection between ourselves.

I am still new to the fediverse but I figured that smaller constellations will federate without connecting to the largest federation.

It’s harder to manipulate 500 disjoint federations than 1 really large one. Especially when some of those federations rely on heavy verification.

Of course those smaller federations are likely organized around specific purposes or organizing interests rather than broad public discourse.
