A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

They were DMed to me, and was disagreeing with me on this subject and then using anti-trans slurs. I got a bunch all in a short period, so I'm guessing a single actor or anti-trans group using multiple accounts. But I decided it wasn't worth my emotional energy to keep the comments up and have others do the same. Sucks that some people can't have discussions without finding something they hate about you and using that to make themselves feel superior when they dont have any real argument to make other than "you're wrong".

Honestly, I abandoned my lemmy.world account last year when Serinus changed the moderation policy that the "narrative" that trans people are not real or are mentally ill or whatever to not be considered hate speech and thus not to be removed automatically, following the similar change at Facebook. I guess I should continue to steer clear of the server since it seems it has given bigots a feeling that they aren't the bad guy as I argued it would just like it did with Facebook, X, and the others. Sucks that we can't live in peace. And that's all I'll say on the matter as I dont have the energy to convince anyone that trans people do exist, it's widely accepted medical science from all unbiased medical organizations and it is definitely as much hate speech so say a trans person isn't their gender as it is to say a black person is a non-human primate.

wow, that's wild. they do have quite a few highly questionable decisions, to put it gently. maybe we should treat them like we do .ml, and encourage people to move to other instances, while generally not participating in their communities

WTF, sorry you had to endure this. Sad to see that silencing seems to work, still. Please report their messages.

To the people messaging you privately: grow some courage and do it out in the open so we know who you are.

Trans people are just people born in the wrong gender's body. People who feel the need to attack minorities like this are pathetic losers.
