Go go go. I’m so sick and tired of the hatred, the ignorance and frankly speaking, the stupidness.
I’m from a culture that is not very forgiving and tolerant, even though on the tin it says we are.
And it took me years to see and understand it. Now that I’ve conquered that ignorance, hell no we are not going to regress!!
thank you so much for making this clear again ada, it was getting bad :(
Just wondering what does 196 means anyway? Clueless lemmy user here.
Ps I'm ally of LGBTQ2S+.
Back on Reddit some dude and his roomates made a subreddit called r/195 (their dorm number). It only had one rule, when you visit, you have to post a meme. Eventually the public found the subreddit and started posting their own memes. It got huge and out of hand and some awful stuff started getting posted so they finally deleted the subreddit. That disappointed a bunch of people so a sequel was made, r/196. This community is a recreation of that second subreddit.
This should be in the sidebar so the lore isn’t lost.
I get the sentiment but damn are the trans memes painfully unfunny. Y'all gotta get better at making memes or this instance is gonna remain mid.

Personally, I don't think about other people's sexuality all that much, so I guess that makes me a non-aggressive supporter.
It's weird to impose this type of stuff, but I respect that this is your little space on the internet, so I'm leaving, as you asked. Thank you for the smiles and laughs.

Basically, if you're not in their bubble of bullies they'll bully you out of the instance and you don't even need to be offensive for that.

I'm here because this showed up in all.
I don't "aggressively support" squat. I do stand up for life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. Someone being trans does not affect anyone's life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness until they get aggressive.
What does that even mean?
until they get aggressive
This like not being racist, but they shouldn't be so loud with those blm protests?
Not homophobic, but they shouldn't have to make everything gay in the summer?
Maybe in wrong (I hope I am), but that is what your comment sounds like.
I do not support the BLM protests as they had them because they were violent, yet I support black rights. I understand also Martin Luther King Jrs statement not to have violent protests because it makes the protesters out to be the bad guys.
I was at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests in standing rock protesting against the encroachment of native Americans rights. As and I told them also, "it is not good if you break the law, it makes it look like you are the bad guys. Rather stress how much THEY are breaking the law.
I do not support violent protests for the most part, unless life is at stake.

Why are you showing up in a comment section without having most of the context on a post that doesn't concern you or your communities? Legit asking, what is the point of this comment?
I did not join this community nor this server, it was thrust upon me.
I support trans rights, don't get me wrong.
I am just offended by a post thrust upon me and then they claim "this isn't the community for you". I DIDN'T JOIN THE DAMN COMMUNITY IN THR FIRST PLACE.

Not from this instance and not a contributor to this community, but just wanna say great job.
Protecting the ideals of your instance is definitely a worthy goal, and I definitely include trans people in the category of people who get shit on undeservedly from on high and deserve way better.
if you've found a few legitimately bad actors here, then ban them and move on. don't burn the place down.
when i see someone from one space advise about how to safely access procedures or drugs that are illegal in some country, and then i tab to 196 to see that same person on the receiving end of the most harshly worded accusations of transphobia, i'm sort of at a loss for how to respond to that.

I'll be honest I think alienating people feeling in the middle is a bad idea, making an echo chainber is ehat those other websites are for, and people on the middle ground are the ones whose beliefs matter the most as they they are the only ones that will change things.
