I guess I can’t please everyone.

I would like the community to be a place for respectful discussion so in general that’s how I try to moderate.

This community is my first experience being a mod so I’m sure there are better ways to do it.

Thanks for the update!

No worries, thanks for updating

Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title.

Would you be able to update the title?

Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title. Also, be mindful of rule 3, no politics.

I know a few people that are trans or on a similar journey. I never thought any of them had an agenda, they were just living their lives.

One of them came out publicly while I was working closely with them. They sent out an email informing everyone what their new name was, what their preferred pronouns were, and it included an FAQ with some links with more information. It had to be a super scary thing to do but they understood that it’s something new for a lot of people, myself included, and they were happy to talk about questions people had. People were very welcoming. Of course there was some office gossip but it all quickly died down and it never came up again (that I heard). No agenda, just people living.

If a co-worker had continued using the trans person’s old name, yeah I’m sure that would be harassment. Not respecting someone’s wishes for themselves is typically harassment (at a minimum).

Yeah that’s a helpful perspective to hear

I don’t love the second half of this post, it seems like bait to bring out the worst in people, but so far all of the comments seem to be keeping things civil and avoiding the bait.

Thanks all.

Lol that’s a nice catch

Edit: maybe “peer at eFrance” or something that makes more sense in french.

This post was reported for stereotyping against Japanese people. Stereotyping is probably always a bad idea so I’ll remove it. I’m always open to feedback.

Hell yeah, peertube has the video: https://peerate.fr/w/2ktPxQgBvDHdHWzogVTRvH

Thanks!

Rule 2 is that the complete thought should be in the title.

How about something like “Lemon juice comes in a lemon shaped bottle, but why is a floppy still used for the save button?” Or “what icon will replace the floppy for the save button?”

Well you can already buy shells. She sells seashells by the seashore.

This is you standard high quality shower thought right here. I’m a big fan.

Edit: Your post made me think of this, but more seriously, yeah there are some things that spiral. I think many people have felt the spiral of a depressing mood, if not proper depression. If you are feeling it now, I hope things turn around for you soon. You got this.

Thanks for being a great member of this community.

Ha, how does a foot note sound?

You were reading research papers in the shower?

This was reported for trolling. I think the votes are speaking for themselves so I won’t take action.

Fuck is an exclamation, not a slur. While I do agree people will use slurs, I do think we should avoid them.
