How is transmaxxing being used to perpetuate transphobia?
The problem with the “transmaxxing” theory is that it does not contend with the realities of living as a trans woman in a systemically transphobic and misogynistic world. Trans people are subjected to disproportionately higher rates of violence and experience increased levels of housing insecurity in comparison to their peers. Contrary to these statistical realities, Vintologi writes “trans women will benefit from the increasing female privilege.” This supposed privilege has no factual basis as all women are still the subject of discrimination and violence (sexual and otherwise) on the basis of their sex, while being paid an average of 85 cents on the dollar when compared to their cis male counterparts.

Again the weasely insinuation that we secretly wanted Trump to win and not for Biden to stop funding genocide. Did you want the genocide to continue?
There’s absolutely way more simply apathetic non-voters who saw two candidates promising more austerity and genocide and said “shits fucked yo” and didn’t bother. You can call those people stupid but you’d be dumber for thinking that will get them to vote for your candidate.
If anything the uncommitted campaign was warning about that.
Oh so we must’ve secretly just wanted Trump to win because…? Or maybe we just wanted Biden to stop funding a genocide?
Maybe there’s a lesson here for you to learn. Something about “electability”. When people say “I won’t vote for anyone who sponsors genocide” they aren’t bluffing.
You’re doing genocide apologia by insinuating people who opposed genocide are Russian bots. Maybe think about what your doing with your life.

Proper journalism would try harder to explain the protestors demands. You really should heed thrm after they ousted one president just a week ago.
Tbh Biden could’ve shut them up pretty easily by not spending tax payer money on genocide. Sounds like the best of both worlds to me.

4·18 days agoThey really don’t and those who do get shut out of leadership positions as a threat to their donors. The donor-based democrats are more interested in innovating ways to tell their constituents how to vote and the PR firms they’re hiring are selling them fumes.

- “Find” as in it doesn’t know where your folders are or “find” as in you told it where the media is but they’re not showing up? If former, configure your libraries in the UI. If latter, check logs, its probably a permissions issue.
- Can you log in to the webui from the host machine itself? If so but not other devices on the LAN, then there’s a probably a setting somewhere that’s set to

No no no! The true second coming of Christ was Sun Myung Moon!
If you want a sample of how crazy Chinese history can get look at the Tai Ping rebellion:
- Student fails Civil Servant Exam for the third time and has a mental breakdown
- starts claiming he’s Jesus’ little brother who trained him to fight demons in his dreams
- more dead than WWI

Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•If you’re ever wondering why far left and far right accounts have so much influence on social media, this is a big part of it.English
31·1 month agoLike half the population of this site exists because Reddit locked down their API. It’s an empirical fact that they engage in bot detection and prevention. Anyone who consistently uses a VPN will have personal experience with it. Anyone who’s tried to interact with a social media’s API can tell you that. Try to write a bot that scrapes Facebook events or LinkedIn profiles before you speak in such absolutes.
You are correct that they don’t aim to completely eliminate them. They might even explicitly allow some of them. But If they didn’t engage in any bot management you’d see nothing but spam for “hot 21yos in your area” on every site. Depending on the platform they might offer paid API access to facilitate those influence networks (eg X.com blue checks). Even if they did that they’d engage in bot prevention for bots that aren’t paying.
