Can we stop using the term “TERF”? It doesn’t mean anything at this point. The transphobic assholes on X certainly aren’t radical feminists.

We need to make FARTs - Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes - stick instead

I’d like to call em that, but this has changed my mind.

Trans Excluding Radical Feminist. It’s a rabbit hole and it’s not much fun past the first 100 meters.

A feminist that claims to support gender equality, but thinks trans folk should diaf.

The issue with the term is that radical feminism is transphobic by definition so why specify “trans exclusionary”
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Excluding trans folk is what makes these specific feminists radical. Their beliefs, otherwise, are fairly mainstream feminist.

*Here let’s abandon the ZA fascist owned social media and move to the Russian fascist owned social media.
Reality does trump fiction.

Are the Russian fascists in the room right now?
Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey and is currently majority-owned and ran by Jay Graber, a Chinese-American woman from Tulsa.
Hell, I even searched specifically for controversies and Russian connections, and absolutely everything that came up said the exact opposite of your claims here.

Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?

Probably confused with criminal endorsed Telegram

Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.

I DISAGREE with you. YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER AN EPIC DEBATE TO THE DEATH WITH ME BECAUSE REACHING A CONSENSUS IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE INTERET!!!

Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.
Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):
IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.

If you’re proposing that front end devs literally provide an optional field for those with the time and motivation to curate their feed programmatically with some kind of query language, that’s god damn brilliant, and would persuade me to use an otherwise feature–lacking but decently polished client over any other.

The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
because so much of conservative thought is about having captive audiences; look at how much they try to whine when they get protested at a school campus.

Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.
“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”
Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.

I thought they were the same bar

Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You’ve posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.
