  Besides all the stuff related to sex that many people have already written down here:

  1. That it is normal to have overwhelming emotions at this age. It’s fine if he gets angry, or sad or whatever. Find an outlet for that emotion.

  2. He is gonna get a long stronger. It is important to approach this with sensibility: saying stuff like “strong men are dangerous” or “men are strong and women are weak” etc can actively harm young men’s mental health. I’m sure there are good resources for this online as well, though I’m not sure where. He needs to realize that he will need to control how much force he puts into things much more than as a child, but at the same time that people are not afraid of him and should not be.

  No? Simply wait with that part for one year. That should not be too hard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well depends if we’re talking for instance admins, developers or users/mods. Would probably need different models.

  Sub.club wasn’t successful in offering a content monetization model on the fediverse

  Don’t compare him to Pyotr I Alekseyevich

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current chain of command⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Vance is there on Thiel’s behalf. That is probably literally the only reason why he was picked as VP. They dont need him to work or to actually do anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent the last year working on the Fediverse. Here's what I've learned.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And others dont fall into that classification, additionally it has been shown that the list’s author does not bother to actually check what is true about “scraping” accusations and just includes whatever accusation gets raised

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Week in Fediverse #103⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who watched the super bowl and actively looked at posts in the fediverse on my second screen, I think that @laurenshof@indieweb.social missed out on posts because he looked under the “superbowl” hashtag which had been taken over by people posting owls. Quite a few posts about the game and the halftimeshow happened under inconsistent hashtags like #nfl, #sblix, #superbowllix, #halftimeshow, #superbowl2025, #superbowlhalftime, #kcvsphi, etc. Some people used no hashtags at all and I found their posts by fulltext-searching for terms like “Mahomes”. Mainly seemed to me like people werent in agreement with each other on which hashtag to use for their posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well ot kinda was true for the time of the big reddit exodus, there were very active and massively upvoted threads about one instance defederating from another, instances debating on whether they should defederate, beehive publicly wondering whether to ditch lemmy etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This 100%. And there are other former-reddit-3rd party apps as well afaik

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which in turn is probably the reason why the devs dont focus on Web ui

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemm.ee tries to be as middle-ground as possible and defederates from no “controversial” instances

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Content curation in the Fediverse is better!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is not the point, the point is that you can. You can curate your feed yourself instead of relying solely on an algorithm or a curation team

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed trump?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if someone would do it:

  Cuba. Or Iran. Or a Palestinian faction.

  Why: Trump’s government openly hates Cuba and has reversed Obama/Biden-era openness to Cuba.

  Trump had Iran’s most important foreign military leader assassinated, he is close with Iran’s regional rivals and supports Iran’s biggest enemy Israel.

  Why a palestinian faction would try to do is doesn’t need to be explained, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you allow transphobic mods?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, and absolutely they should be allowed puberty-prevention treatments

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you allow transphobic mods?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What clear advantage? Men and women on average have different body structures, yes. That might favour one in one sport and one in another. The blanket statement “men have a clear advantage in every sport over women” is BS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you allow transphobic mods?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if they have been on HRT

  This might actually be the most important thing here: I have no idea how youth sports handle things (and under the current fascist climate competing as a trans athlete surely is nearly impossible), but if they were to compete without HRT they might have an advantage (in specific sports)?

  It’s such a small if combination of things that it’s not worth making a fuss over about, but it might be the one case where it could be true?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Sub Ban Wave⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably some algorithm that they told "delete anything related to the topic ‘transgender’, and that algorithm took everything down that it remotely got a hold of, I would suspect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Sub Ban Wave⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Welcome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Blaze’s point still is relevant: if you are posting a lot on communities that large instances dont even know about, then your efforts will be harder. Ideally one could change something about that, for example use a user account on such a big instance to pull in those communities into federation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans witnessing an ongoing klepto-fascist takeover of their federal government [Day 68]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People could start saying the names out loud of those government workers who have refused illegal (or grey area) orders from the White House, Musk’s “DOGE” or similar and have been fired within the last week. Those people actually stood up ‐ even if it didnt do anything in the long run, it showed opposition to these clowns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Changes to Lemmy/PieFed to adjust to living under fascism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Instances.social surfaces some of the server rules into a nice UI for mastodon instances but yeah, those things you mention would also be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reposting based on a signal sounds like the best idea.

  Because we kinda have the alternative in place: lemmit chose the way of replicating reddit posts onto a committed instance. That means that someone still has to manually go, look at - for example the F1 - lemmit, choose an interesting post there and cross-post it to the relevant lemmy community.

  If the repost into a relevant lemmy community happened automatically based on a signal, that would take off work from users.

  Could that signal be the number of interactions in activitypub for a sportsbots post? Or would it be the Twitter interactions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you “not want sports in Lemmy”? Like, how is that hurting you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik there are multiple projects similar to this one in the works for Android. Openvibe is already released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public Firehose Project Shutters After Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was literally an alternative UI for the mastodon.social/public feed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't see post from lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not your instance, why do you feel like you have to comment in the meta community here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I figured it’s Johnson because it’s always Johnson… Andrew Johnson after Lincoln and Lindon B. after JFK

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a Lemmy community for finding Lemmy communities?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also !communities@ponder.cat, !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or !findacommunity@lemmy.ml

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was rigged?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh it’s the 60 year old man’s decision to fight. Your argument is in the same vein as “you can’t fight against a woman”. If they want it, so be it.
