Seriously though

The feminine (and, by extension, lesbian) is constantly portrayed in such a sweet and gentle way and masculine us always so rough that I can't help but say "lesbian relationships to me, please"

And I'm a guy.

Where tf did we lose those cute gentle hetero relationships and representation? Okay there's GFD, but barely anyone notices it and it's strictly about women taking the lead and mostly sexual, which is only one side of the story.

I'd argue that, while privacy comes at a cost to society, it's an essential building block of democracy.

Unfortunately, we cannot uncover messages of child abusers without also helping uncover messages of opposition leaders, for example.

Also, as our lives move more and more digital, basic expectation of personal privacy online becomes part of comfortable digital living. We all have things we don't want a random dude in the uniform to see, even if there's nothing criminal in there at all.

That said, total digital surveillance is probably gonna cost us more than digital privacy, but government has a lot to gain from it, which is, to my mind, why we have this unpopular thing pushed so hard in the first place. Public is generally very vocal about NOT wanting this.

No you sound like an ass.

Having strong disagreements doesn't mean personal rage answers are alright.

While disagreeing with the statement above, I'd like to call for civility.

A man is a person of male gender identity, i.e. identifying as a male

A woman is a person of female gender identity, i.e. identifying as a female

That's all there is to it, since the very concept of gender identity revolves around a purely social phenomenon of gender - which many people try to forcefully connect to sex, which is not the same thing and won't ever be.

Sounds like BAT token from Brave

Top up by buying it or watching ads somewhere else, and then spend on sites you see as important or flat to everyone who you visit and is connected to BAT ecosystem.

I was under the impression that people in primal tribes just die before this becomes a massive problem

Nothing to be ashamed of - the world is too complex to connect everything, and we all miss out on something very simple :)

Lemmy was at some point this pre-September place. Since then, it changed quite a bit.

I think we'll always have to face either Eternal September or walls and restrictions everywhere, making it hard to join and discouraging many genuinely good folks.

Our best best is to influence the Internet culture at large, since there's no grand influx of people on the Internet overall anymore. Of course, we go against algorithmic rage machines, but this is a fight worth having. And which place if not Fediverse is a good place to start.
