I mean, how does craigslist handle it? This doesn't seem much more technically complex than whatever craigslist does

Stallman was right about everything

It's so fucked up how the "know nothing" racist anti-papist freaks turned out to be correct and we actually did end up being oppressed by an unaccountable cabal of conservative Catholics (aka the supreme Court).

They targeted gamers. Gamers.

This is how Google started out, until like 2010-2015 it was wonderful. I think it's just losing the seo slop arms race now tbh

And living in the US/western Europe. Eastern Europe and Asia weren't doing so hot

It seems like a pretty neutral phrasing to me. Like, the allies landing in Normandy was also an escalation. Doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad thing

Your original comment was saying that the term is inherently derogatory and offensive. I'm trying to explain that in this case I don't accept the framework of a derogatory terms but rather derogatory usages. That's like, my opinion. As a self identified tranny, who still identifies as such in a non porn context. As do lots of my friends on twitter.

Feel like we've already been over all this back when some people online decided "queer" is always a slur and started aggressively trying to police people from using it..

Hm it might be good to have a conversation about cw policy on lemmy actually. If you post something I'll upvote it

there's other trans communities and other social norms online than r/mtf on reddit. People should be allowed to call themselves what they like imo, and you should probably try to make sure of the user's actual stance before policing their language.

It's weird, it's like a four way conflict between trans women, cis crossdressers, well meaning cis allies speaking over the former, and transphobes.

I think people should be allowed to call themselves what they like personally. But they should be able to veto what others call them. But setting a single universal norm doesn't make sense
