Ripley, get in here stat!
To approach this from a different angle, I would say this is actually an ironically encouraging sign that we are lurching in a good direction. There’s always going to be some level of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc., but those things are mainstream enough that you have to be really hard right to beat the drum for them. It’s the kind of thing that might still play in certain areas, and with certain types or demographic, but the mainstream isn’t really down with it. Open pro-trans movements and statements are pretty new compared to these other things, so it’s just the latest in the succession of what-can-I-hate-up that authoritarian types latched onto. I have a feeling we’re lurching – and pretty quickly – toward trans becoming more mainstream
@steebo_jack That’s the real reason to be upset.
I’ve seen a lot of lag and downtime from lemmy.world off and on. It seems like they get hit with DDoS or have maintenance issues (for lack of any real IT knowledge). I get the feeling they’re getting squeezed and targeted because they’re the flagship instance, but that’s just speculation on my part.
(Posting from kbin.social in case that matters.)
You can through kbin! There’s a nice discussion of it here.
You can add their name to your kbin url like this: https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc. It should open the page as if it were a kbin magazine and have a subscribe button. After that, you should see it when you browse your subscribed threads (although it seems like it won’t appear in your list of magazines).
