A good book I liked about it was Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue by Leslie Feinberg, available here in pdf form: https://transreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/2021-12-29_61cca107e2f6b_leslie-feinberg-trans-liberation-beyond-pink-or-blue.pdf

It was written in the 90s so some of the terms are sort of dated but it holds true with what a lot of the modern trans experience continues to be

pogging off

A trans communist I’ve talked to a lot over the internet for ages, she introduced me to her wife and a load of other trans communists from across the world and helped put me in contact with people to get hrt from and helped me pay for it after I got cryptoscammed out of the money I was using to buy it, also given me a lot of advice on self injecting and general good social advice. Also helped me get through a pretty traumatic situation I was going through several months ago that kind of fucked me up mentally.

You’re the one unironically saying this about Palestinians being murdered by psychotic IDF fascists because they might be transphobic, not me

America’s transphobic as fuck though, why should I give a shit that 3,000 transphobic Americans died on September 11th? tbh, I’m glad that there’s 3,000 less transphobes in the world actually

Omw to adopt this line of thinking uncritically to argue that 9/11 was entirely justified and should happen again once a week throughout every republican state in the US because some of the victims would probably happen to be transphobic.

Basically just the same as just defederating but you also sign a little thing promising you’ll never refederate with threads

I used to be in a discord where we’d jump in and watched dr who each week as the episodes came out, it was pretty cool

had a trans girl get offended when i said to her that i preferred spending time around her and other trans people, apparently she didnt consider herself trans or like to be refered to as a trans woman. idk, it felt kind of alienating like she was passing now and so didnt want to be associated with other trans people anymore like i was beneath her or something.

Unironically though, anyone who does this should just be locked up

We need to shut this whole coomer thing down until we work out wtf is going on in their brains.

hetzner literally hosts instances specifically made by and for pedophiles with users that post loli porn, and mastodon.social which hosts like a billion porn repost bots and is infamous for basically doing no moderation (like i just opened mastodon.social and the third most recent post on local, posted 12 seconds before i opened the feed, was a man’s dick), like if that’s not adult content i dont know what is. I’m biased bcs i’m an active user on woem but like there’s so obviously a different standard set by hetzner for queer people than there is for cishet people.

for reference this is the “adult content” they were suspended for:

since a shit ton of people are already arguing about vaush im going to throw in that like i dont particularly think he deserves all the hate he gets but like im kind of uncomfortable with all the “ironic” misogyny he does, how much he seems to say the r slur and his anti corbyn stuff. Also the people who are like massive fans of his are weird af but like i dont blame the guy for his fans being fucked up.

But yeah, imo anyone who has any super strong feelings about vaush either completely loving him and repeatedly going to bat for him against everything or completely hating him and thinking he’s the reincartion of himmler are pretty weird.

funniest bit of lore about the guy that made that song is that he was a member of Caleb Maupin’s patsoc cult who probably hated vaush’s guts

If my server defederated Thread but remains federated with a server that didn’t defederate Thread… My data could still land on a Thread server?

if your instance defeds threads then it blocks any information being sent to threads at all so they wont receive anything that you post, not even your upvotes on posts will federate with threads.

The only case where this gets kind of weird is if you’re on an instance that federates via an allow list of approved instances instead of using the normal method of federating with everyone by default then blocking selected bad instances (the only large instance that uses this method for federation though is hexbear as far as im aware so its not really that important).

Fedipact is people who’ve signed some thing pledging to never federate with threads, whereas all the other ones have just defederated them without signing the pact. In reality there’s not really any difference at all.

your instance is already defederated from threads

it’s almost as if a company that helped incite an ethnic cleansing just a few years ago, hosts far right stochastic terrorists like libs of tiktok (despite the owner repeatedly breaking meta’s own rules) and actively suppressed the voices of Palestinians and posts that criticised Israel doesn’t make for a good instance to federate with.

it was immensely irresponsible for any instance to federate with them, let alone the largest one.
