    It’s funny how people in this thread are so adamant you should just “not take the bait” when the entire words has been redefined to mean something completely different by these tac…

    Companies know that people think like this nowadays, so they only require the phone number after you are already invested into the service. Twitter had this where they would allow …

    Existence of this function is not surprising to me, I knew it existed. I assumed it was a “mark for manual review by moderator”, not “super downvote”.

    I also didn’t know about this. There’s a problem with features like these - casual user doesn’t even realize it exists, but motivated actors can easily exploit it to correct the co…

    Why do you think people who pay money to create accounts to push their agenda will stop doing it when you tell them to cut the middleman? I bet the platform will just be 100% occup…

    Hormones are not specifically targeted to young people, and all the trans dyi resources I’ve seen have a ton of disclaimers and aren’t exactly easy to find and use. It is a last op…

    You have trouble believing that trans people, whose problems are ignored by most population, choose to help people experiencing the same problem, that they know may lead to suicide…
