The father didn’t “lose” anyone. His daughter is still right there, he could have a loving and close relationship with her if he chose to accept her for who she is. He didn’t lose his son, he chose to reject his daughter.

Choosing to not support your children is how you become estranged from your children, not something to feel sorry for the parent for. It just makes the father a piece of shit. This statement is true of all shitty parents, not just transphobic shitbags.

Not the ad revenue checks. Reddit isn’t profitable even with ad revenue. The new reddit profit model is selling freely-contributed user-generated content to AI companies with a lot of money who want to train thei LLM’s on reddit content.

This is about ChatGPT checks, not ad revenue checks.

Wow, trimming passwords without telling the password owner is a terrifying behavior.

Also, having a password limit at less than 256 chars is silly in the modern world of password managers, and even 256 is a completely arbitrary limit i pulled out of my ass.

Why does the lemmy platform require short passwords, i wonder? nobody with any sense of modern, or even out-dated decades ago, sense of security stores passwords raw anymore, and hasn’t forever because it was recognized as a terrible idea and a bad pattern decades ago.

Here you go. Best trans resource on the internet. 2 years into being trans and 6 months into hormones, i found this site and learned a lot more about myself.

I'm loving it. It's like the good old days of smaller forums, except they all link together to become a reddit-like conglomerate, best of both worlds.

I do miss having a high-quality iOS app most, but mlem is certainly off to a good start.

https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite this tool lets you do something similar.

I plan to make mine an explanation why i left, and an intro to lemmy etc

 

I have been trying for days to log in. No matter what I do, I keep getting could not connect to [server]. I tried for days and it didn't work.

Then I realized. I have a password manager installed, and I let it pick its longest password length (100 characters). I reduced it to 32 characters, and my login immediately worked.

Lemmy itself supports huge passwords, but it seems as if mlem does not. I do not know how long your password can be before mlem pukes on its own shoes, but it's somewhere between 32-100 haha.

I’ve been posting this to subs that haven’t blacked out:

Reddit wants to begin selling API data access to large AI companies at a really high margin so those AI companies can train their data on the content we generate and contribute to reddit, and reddit can make a shit ton of money on that.

This data API is also how third party apps and mod tools access reddit. Rather than charging apps a lower tier and AI companies a large one, reddit has instead decided to charge everyone for that data access.

As a result, not only are third party reddit apps going away because they’d have to charge huge fees to their users, but so are a lot of the tools that reddit’s unpaid volunteer moderators use to moderate subs, which means moderation quality is going to drastically drop soon.

In addition, the official reddit app is terrible for accessibility, and does not work with things like screen readers that blind or partially-sighted people use. These issues have been reported to reddit since alienblue became the official reddit app, reddit does not care to put money into fixing them. third party apps do this. people who rely on these apps to be able to even use reddit are basically getting kicked off reddit for being disabled.

All so reddit can cash in on all the content the communities of reddit produce, without compensating the content creators nor paying the unpaid volunteer moderators whose lives they just made way more difficult.
