Of course. Otherwise they're just sparkling kalmatas...

A side effect of aging for me is that now I like olives.

Not sure. I've recently moved over to photon though, as it's more feature rich than alexandrite, and almost as nice to look at

ada , to Fediverse in Mods, what tips or etiquette do you recommend for reporting?
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It's helpful. The issue is the moderation with mass removal of content doesn't always federate in ways that are obvious. And it was worse with older versions of lemmy.

Report it, and at least your instance admins can remove it from your instance

@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

"Has a future" in this context means "Streaming media without explicit ownership rights will continue to be here/relevant in to the future, unlike the idea of 'owning' digital media"

So, the things I appreciate as an admin are

a) Make sure you state whether it's simply a matter of breaking community rules, or whether it needs an admins attention. As it stands now, admins see all reports made for all communities on our instances, which can be a lot. I leave reports for communities that I don't moderate, but they then sit around until a moderator actions them. And the large incoming volume, plus the older ones hanging around can make it hard to tell at a glance which ones require an admins eyes.

b) If it's not immediately obvious from the reported post, tell us where to find the context we need to see why the post is a problem. "Look at posters history" / "Will make sense if you read the previous post" etc.

@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

And this is why you were banned. You posted bullshit. And when trans people explain why it's a problem, you tell them that no, actually, they're wrong, and that you, the person who isn't trans, knows how they should feel.

Does this not address the federation issue that is causing some instances to fall ever further behind lemmy.world?

Maybe its regional or cultural but the FTM trans I know well wouldn't object to being referred to or lumped in with pregnant women on a general basis and if they did they are fully capable of correcting those refering to them with whatever term suits them.

Cool. Whatever works for them.

But it's worth being aware that as you're not trans yourself, the whole "I have trans friends who are ok with this behaviour many trans people feel is problematic" just sounds like the same excuses bigots have used over the years. "I have black/trans/female friends who are ok with <insert problematic topic>".

Secondly, even if you are accurately representing their perspective, no one is taking away anyones right to identify with whatever terms best work for them. The issue is not pushing terms on to others who don't want them.

Your friends can identify with pregnant women all they like, but it becomes an issue when trans men who don't share that stance get told that they're the problem

I have a couple of married friends. Both trans guys. They tried to adopt, and their options for surrogacy all fell through. So one of them carried their daughter. He didn't want to do it, but they were out of other options, so he did.

He wasn't "female whilst pregnant". He wasn't a mum, a mum to be, a pregnant woman, or any other term like that. He was a pregnant man, or when needed for clarity, a pregnant transgender man.

I'd ban you too, in a heartbeat, if you brought any of that bullshit in to a trans or queer sub that I moderate.

You having a trans kid doesn't give you permission to walk all over the voices and experiences of trans people trying to navigate pregnancy
