I don't use Instagram and I read both this article and the linked telegram article and I still didn't see what it is.
Is it some kind of a photo album with selfies?
No idea what you even mean with that. Did you expect a response with "oh that's strange, I'm sure everyone is really comfortable around trans people these days".
They just aren't.
I think instead of being hostile against people who admit they are not comfortable, maybe try to help and be a friend instead so people can start to understand that there is nothing to fear?
Trans people started one of the first mastadon instances and one of the first Lemmy instances as well. I think that's really cool, and I don't get why you would drop a oneliner with some kind of witty response when you can actually communicate with people here.
It's not so strange is it? It's not like most people feel comfortable around trans people. It took a very long time before even black people were treated normally.
I don't actually like the term phobia either. People are not "irrationally afraid" . They just prefer hanging out with people they are used to.
It's difficult but worth the time if you have it. No other language creates programs with such guarantees for not having common memory bugs and performance like c.
There is a lot of money spent on making the media portray people as dangerous or crazy when they are protesting. And the media shapes the idiots opinions.
France is a role model in protesting for the entire world. Of course the American media often ridicules France. I wonder why.
Nah they want you to be shocked and start watching. Called engagement, makes money by upsetting peoples emotional state so they become nervous, unhappy, angry etc.
I loved it personally. Tech is in a awful state right now and it's correct to try and joke about it while we all lose decades of what previous generations built up as protection against these bastards.
Ratings are not just about an app functioning, it's about if it's any good or not. And by showing only reviews of a certain type, users might not see a lot of the complaints if they are from people on different hardware.
Seems like a way to limit effects of discontent in my opinion.
Let's say you have a Samsung s20 or whatever. Millions of people will have that. So if you are not complaining from that type of device AND from the same region, your reviews may not be seen at all.
This is how you make sure that bad reviews don't impact applications like reddit so much.
But hey, must be accidental, right?
Her partner seems to be a lizard of some sort. Zuckerberg, is that you?
Americans are generally quite stupid. Imagine asking private big tech to moderate what you can see online. :)
But it's the same in every country. The large masses are clueless. If you ask Europeans, you would get the same response even though it's Americans moderating it, which is even worse.
You know Microsoft is planning to put the next windows online and let people just access it? Same pattern here, people trusting big tech with their own privacy and integrity. So weird.
Not leaving Lemmy for Kbin. :)
You never leave your wingman Maverick!
Telegram started that way but as they became so big, the process of Enshittification has now begin. It happens to all tech platforms that become too big.
