My 15yo kid just came out to me tonight as trans male. In order to be more supportive, I would really like some feedback from other trans folks on how to assist or better understand this process, especially on how that works today vs 30 years ago.

Caveat- I had a parent who is trans, but this isn't the same kind of relationship. I would actually be assisting my minor child in this change, so that makes me a more active participant in the process.

Feel free to boost. #trans

Fyi Peertube has practically no moderation tools stop recommending it to people. Any and every Peertube instance I've seen gets filled up with nazi garbage because there's no way to stop that.

octopus: 🐙
me: yes. you’re right. we must unionize!

the socialist one-two punch: all services provided by the public sector should be 100% free at point of use, and all services required to live a modern dignified life should be provided by the public sector

Peertube is another great idea ruined by the myopia and hostile resistance to learning white men seem to carry with them at all times in the tech space to anyone not white and male.

I’ll just wait for something better to come along or build it myself when I have the time.

you know, if #peertube had listened to the POC who were telling them MONTHS AGO that they needed to prioritize moderation tools more highly, maybe there would be more PT instances that aren't complete cesspools

just a thought

Think about it like this.

These bigots harass us because they want us to be afraid because they are TERRIFIED of us.

The fedi is changing because we're figuring out how to work together and they rely on us not making those connections.

There is the fedi that wants to emulate Birdland, FB, etc and I bear them no ill will.

But there is the fedi where we're building a whole new context brick by brick.

And it scares bigots b/c the rules they've become accustomed to aren't working anymore.

please, folks, i am begging you. please look at the replies of a post before you reply and say the same thing 17 other people have said before you

Hey, techpals, any experience choosing an ethical, privacy-centric VPS host for a small project? I've used DigitalOcean and OVH before but I'm hoping there's something a little better available.
