Have you made a matrix account?

There’s a blahaj matrix chat, lemme just find the link to it

Edit: here’s the link https://matrix.to/#/#genderverse-chat:chat.blahaj.zone

cant wait

I think micro plastics in our anything will probably be an issue

They have very simple demands, they’re not giving some pie in the sky stuff like “have Joe Biden tried for war crimes and abolish capitalism” or something; the protests all have demands along the lines that their university boycott Israeli companies and cut ties with weapons manufacturers aiding the genocide. To claim otherwise is completely infantalising to the protestors who are risking their university positions and physical health to protest despite the police crackdowns.

Here’s a link to the list of demands of the student protest in new York, for instance

And here’s a picture of the list of the demands of the columbia faculty protest:

I could mod car posting, the trams and trolleys one, and maybe the old timers young timers one

Here’s a guide to creating a matrix account and here’s a link to the matrix room, you’ll need to @ Ada once you join to get added to the mod chat though, there’s also another chat that we use as the main one that you’ll want to be added to.

I could help mod one or two of these, I mod garfieldism, egg_irl and LGBTQ+ on here and I used to mod a ~200 user misskey instance.

I reccon making a Discord or something like that for solid communication would also happen.

Also there’s a blahaj zone matrix room that you could do it on btw

Yeah, in British politics transphobia is very much a bipartisan position shared with only rare exceptions by the right, the left, the far right and the far left. Shit sucks fr.

The BBC very notably has a very strong transphobic bias. For instance, on the day of Israel bombing the Iranian embassy I remember BBC radio 4 news spent more time talking about JK Rowling’s tweets about the new Scottish hate speech laws that banned discrimination against trans people and then interviewed a prominent Scottish TERF to give a puffpiece interview about her TERF org and how great JK Rowling is (notably they didn’t interview a single trans person) than they spent on the bombing of the embassy. Also a few days ago they gave a great deal of air time to the Cass Report which was basically made as a hitpiece trying to push for banning anyone under the age of 25 from transitioning (they then completely ignored all the criticism it received for it’s awful scientific method).

Good.

iirc the death sentence is just being used as a motivation for her to return all the stuff she got from corruption and if she does it’ll be downgraded to life in prison

my account is at least 5% femboy worship

Average chaser lol. People will unironically just declare “hey, I have a fetish for objectifying crossdressing twinks!” and then act like it’s a completely normal, not creepy thing to say out of nowhere because it’s funny when it’s queer people being randomly fetishized

im not saying governments dont astroturf or anything, i meant it was a QAnon-esque conspiracy to assume that there were paid shills and bots around every corner and the vast majority of anti-american sentiment comes from a Russian cabal or something, especially on a comparitively tiny online space like lemmy. Like i’ve fairly frequently seen the accusation that lemmy is filled with paid actors / bots working for various countries from people just because they’ve suddenly been exposed to views that they’ve never really encountered before.

criticising Israel’s genocide of palestinians and consistent settlement of palestinian land going back 75 years and the American government unconditionally supporting them to do this for the last few decades regardless of political party isnt racist actually. I’m assuming you don’t think that just because I criticise the actions of the Russian government that makes me a white supremacist who hates all russian people.

edit: im getting downvoted for saying genocide is bad and countries that commit genocide are bad lmao

i think that it’s a lot more likely that a few people are just making burner accounts to be dicks on the internet than some weird QAnon-esque conspiracy theory that both the Russian and Chinese governments are not only aware of a tiny reddit clone but also are actively employing people (who all happen to be fluent in english) to create fake accounts and convincingly imitate westerners all in order to slightly increase political divisions in america for a few thousand people by having arguments about already incredibly contentious issues.

anti-Israel and anti-America content is cool actually

I used to be in a discord where we’d jump in and watched dr who each week as the episodes came out, it was pretty cool

We can only hope

Thats why they’re banning Israeli athletes too though right?

They’re banning Israeli athletes too, right?

Maybe not what you’re thinking about but I quite like playing crusader kings 3 when I’m feeling like that and maybe you will too. It’s kind of expensive with all the dlcs though so you should just get it here for free instead: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/crusader-kings-3/

if you haven’t torrented anything before (I’m assuming you probably have though since you’re a transfem with Linux) you’ll need this to download it: https://www.qbittorrent.org/download
