Because focusing on biological ratios is generally considered to be incredibly rude in such a community (and probably most communities?)

#292Just echoing other comments as the first post I saw was from someone who wanted a knife so they could "stab girls" while whispering in their ear that they are "getting their hormones". Wow.
Well it's important to note that they are stabbing them with a "hrt" knife.

This is exactly what I thought about when I first read the post. This is not a good idea in my opinion.
How is it a bad idea? A community for trans people that's actively used by them because it works for their needs should be considered a bad idea because certain assholes can attack it? The bad there is in the assholes and effort is due in stopping them, not the existence for a specific type of useful community itself.
It's a bad idea when countries like mine are actively passing legislation toward banning trans people from existing. Having a hackable dox-ready list of where to find them and who they are would be quite convenient for any regime or its fervent supporters that have the resources and skill to weaponize such a service against them.
I get what you're saying, the assholes are the bad thing here...but they are also a clear and present danger that now has the power to do what they said they would do these people. This isn't just some malicious hate group from 4chan or whatever, these are government-backed actors interested in actually harming these individuals.

#294Looks more like a community of horny people and other weird stuff. I immediately saw: - Someone who wants to be treated as a dog - Someone who listed their "new experiences" which included "getting fisted", "being fucked with a (fake) knife", "sleeping in a dog crate" and more. - Someone looking for sex WTF?
I am logged into lgbt community on reddit. I was curious what it is like there.
Significant amount is just posts with pictures in front of mirrors. Not nsfw, but self-absorbed.

> The risks, for you, are very high. Is the creator in the UK? Or do they visit regularly? It wasn't mentioned in the original post.
The law has ridiculous overreach, that's true. And we haven't seen what international enforcement of it looks like yet. But to deal with the facts as they are now, the law states that it applies if you have UK users, and that the personal liability for officers of the company can be up to £18M... The overreach continues because it also covers "harmful but not illegal" content. The app publishing didn't exclude the UK…
No, the law cannot possibly apply "if you have UK users".
The law applies if you're in the UK or in a country the UK can persuade to extradite you.

That makes it less strange and creepy?

I'm glad that you're making it a toggle and not banning it outright. This is my biggest gripe with BlueSky at the moment.
Isn't BlueSky doing the exact thing you want: making it a toggle?
For one thing, BlueSky blocks NSFW images from being embedded in RSS feeds, so I have to use third-party services like https://bluestream.deno.dev/ to generate RSS feeds which embed images in my RSS reader.
