Honestly it feels more restrictive then reddit. And I’m getting pretty tired of it.

If you are someone with an open mind, the other side says you are not because their personal opinion is apparently the one and only absolute truth.

You can’t both sides the existence of a community of people. Anything that doesn’t explicitly reference the long history of academic gender and queer theory is trying to do just that.

Point of clarification, Exploding Heads is not “anti lgbtq”

Once you are an adult, we believe you should be free to make your own choices.

But we are highly protective of children.

  • We do not believe they should be the subject of indoctrination, be subject to treatment programs that could sterilize them for life, or have breasts and penises chopped off.

  • We do not believe their parents should be subjected to threats - legal, social, or emotional blackmail by medical “professionals”

  • We believe sports are an important opportunity for our daughters to develop. We do not believe men should be stealing those opportunities from them.

  • We believe our daughters have the right to privacy in changing rooms etc.

What are some examples of dogmatism and extremism from the progressive side that you hope to avoid?

Like spaduf says, those “both sides” claims often come from the anti-queer folks, and while I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, it’s difficult to tell what sort of community you’re trying to cultivate.

Yeah, no thanks. That’s a giant red flag for me.

Your “both sides are bad” example for LGBTQ folk is a regular LGBTQ community

You also actively link by URL to transphobic instances, driving traffic towards them.

Unless something changes rapidly in that community, it won’t be federating with blahaj.zone

Edit - The community has been suspended from Blahaj Lemmy

This is gender critical and transmedicalist rhetoric waiting to happen.

New Communities

!newcommunities@lemmy.world

Create post

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
