Thank you for making this post. I saw it happen and found it very concerning. I didn’t feel capable to address it myself so I am very glad someone else has raised the issue. I would like to hope that the vast majority (should be everyone but evidently not with what’s happened) of our instance will be in agreeance that transphobia is absolutely not something we want to be associated with here. @[email protected] Please deal with this.
I’m truly sorry you’ve had this experience here. I saw your post and I saw how quickly it got locked. I also saw how you handled the situation in the other thread where they debated with you back and forth. I won’t pretend to be hugely knowledgable regarding the issues that the trans community face and that is on me, I need to educate myself. I just want to add that I think Tom may be on holiday at present and it might be that he isn’t sure how to respond to you. However, that’s not an excuse and I do think that the community should have been locked down at the very least. It’s unfortunate timing that an instance was created, it’s grown extremely quickly in numbers, and the lead admin is not able to give full attention to pressing issues like this. I hope a resolution can be reached soon.
Maybe consider a sticky post so that everyone knows to go into their profile settings and select BOTH English and Undetermined by holding down Ctrl (command key on Mac)? Or sticky this one and I’ll add an update to the bottom.
You can have both! I think you need to hold ctrl or alt or something and select English and Undetermined. I saw it in a post somewhere but I’ve lost it now. I agree the double negative is very confusing! Glad you’ve seen this post.
I don’t think it’s anything to do with caching. It specifically says in settings and in the Lemmy documentation that if you don’t select Undetermined, you won’t see a lot of content. This isn’t about posting or commenting it’s about being able to see content. To be honest I am clueless about it all but it’s not ideal if we can’t see content on other instances / communities. I just felt it was worth bringing attention to in case it is an issue.
I would if I could. I cringe every time I see my handle at the top of the homepage.
