Which human right does abolishing all female-only spaces come under? As that is the end goal of this movement that starts so seemingly innocently with preferred pronouns.
Taking any search for any decency and turning it into "they want to end the world!!" can be done to anything in any part of the political spectrum.
How reliable is the `lol` TLD? What if the DNS records go down, or any of the application services provided by omg.lol go down?
Idk why but why are people getting mad at stuff that literally affects every other type of services online (like the chance of it shutting down)? 20$/year also doesnt sound all that expensive, thats 1.6$ per month! I rarely ever pay for things online, but I know damn well that anyone who pays for this service and then not use it would probably forget that they are paying because its so cheap! Sigh Hacker News moment…
The difference here is you are sharing email addresses, domains, feeds, networks, etc. none of which you will ever own if the service shuts down. Other services can shut down but this type of entrenchment isn't there when my cloud notes shuts down, or when my hosted collaborative kanban shuts down. They can give me my data and I can go elsewhere. I don't have to get the world to update contacts and bookmarks and othe…

If you believe that, you need to take another look what people are actually asking for. Taking any search for any decency and turning it into "they want to end the world!!" can be done to anything in any part of the political spectrum.
The purpose of preferred pronouns is to legitimize the idea that being a woman or a man is an identity rather than a material fact of existence. It's intended to validate the concept of males being included in the category of women.
So, when female-only spaces are made 'inclusive' by admitting such males (i.e. those who want to be women, or who say they are women) then they are no longer female-only spaces. Eventually, if this continues, they will have been effectively abolished.

The link you posted, summarized and purified from drug references, says pronouns blur senses for males and females, which I also see no harm for. I, being CIS, also declare my pronouns and many others too, which article plainly denies as such:
> Almost without exception, the people who request, or demand, others talk about them using specific pronouns, are asking for pronouns associated with the opposite sex to their own.
LGBTQIA+ people are just people. Some have an agenda like others, some don't. Some take the identification issues to the political arena, some just... are.
The real price isn't $20, it's the cost of everything you lose when the service shuts down
You mean, like every other service anybody stands up ever? The ones that charge money are the ones that stand any chance of surviving. https://archive.is/7LxAh
I would kill to know how many people converted despite these comments.
That it's $20/year is very little but also significantly raising the likelihood it'll stay around for years. The author is also intelligently creating relatively low maintenance but high value services so this actually looks workable in the long term.
I guess it may not exist or it's called managed hosting and the feature set and complexity is too overwhelming?

> provides open-source alternatives to common cloud services This includes, among other things, PeerTube. PeerTube is a federated alternative to YouTube. https://joinpeertube.org/ I love PeerTube. Been running an instance of it of my own for a few weeks. I currently have only two videos on it so far. The subject of the videos on my instance are computing and music. My instance does not allow others to sign up, but I…
Mind sharing a link to your instance?

Where do you pick up political undertones? I'm genuinely curious. I read the whole landing page and it is all lighthearted and friendly, and I pick up on nothing that makes me think otherwise.
The example profile includes pronouns.
(I mean, yes, in the last few years this has been politicised, primarily in the US, by a right wing desperate for a new wedge issue, but you'd have to be fairly gullible to fall for that...)
