It isn't transphobia to object to female erasure. Not every women's issue is also a trans women's issue, and it's sexist to insist otherwise.

Oh yeah, I understand that bit - but how does it connect to the DHT in the first place. I couldnt see any information on where it connects when you arent yet peered (i.e. how does it bootstrap).

There are a collection of hyperswarm bootstrap node IPs that can get the discovery process started for new peers.

Many thanks - is this in the codebase or handled via some config? I couldnt see it from my (limited) searching.

Only on a tech site would it be considered flamewar to suggest that not all XX issues need to be subordinated to XY issues. Remember this next time a GamerGate or similar issue arises. Our community has a serious problem with sexism and I'm sad to see this conversation go this way.

> The Christian ideal is to be tolerant of someone who is actively doing us harm. That seems like a foolish ideal that has the end result of you being marginalized, with people who would do harm to you and others gaining control of society. Frankly, it sounds like just another system of control invented by religious leaders. People who actively do us harm should be swiftly and firmly disabused of the notion that what…

Tolerance doesn't mean you never resist. Tolerance means you're willing to have a conversation, and you can be friends in spite of fundamental differences. Christians who live up to the ideal are willing to have a civil relationship with anyone . That's the point. That's tolerance. It means you actually know the other person, and you're not making (possibly misinformed) assumptions about them. The next step in the re…

I don't think that's the definition of "tolerance" that most people think of. To me, it means to allow someone to do something that you don't agree with or thing is harmful. Not to get to know them and then convince them not to do it.

Getting to know them and convincing them not to do it implies that you will not tolerate their actions, but have wisely decided that a soft touch is likely to get you better results.
