  • These are tough calls to make. On the one hand I applaud the step taken to protect the community hosted by this instance, on the other I also find that simply cuting ties and conversation only furthers the divide.

    Sure we should not have to defend the validity of our existence, and also realise that most hate leaves little place for heathy discussions. But in avoiding their echo chambers I find we quiet ours too, we renounce our visibility for our comfort and theirs.

    I guess I wish there were other ways to warn users about potentially triggering instances rather than outright defederating, but I do understand your main motives.







  • I understand your concerns, but since it is an official EU platform and we have the GDPR, I don’t think there’s much cause for concern. Even if it uses your countries platform to verify your identity, I don’t think they would be able to see which petition was signed just that you verified your identity on the platform as a whole.

    In any case hope you stay safe! Yeah I’m intending on sharing it once a month till then!






  • I don’t think he’s they’re assuming anything he’s they’re just using the term binary as a set/group that includes the traditional man and woman genders. Sure maybe no one uses it to describe themselves but that doesn’t mean that the word isn’t useful to refer to the “traditional” genders, which he uses to contrast with non-binary.

    Your conclusion is exactly what the Author tries to get at, that non-binary spectrum is diverse in many aspects.
