Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.

If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.

Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.

The admin of this instance also is the admin of mastodon.world and the code of conduct (applies to all of ruud’s stuff) can be found here:

https://mastodon.world/about

Any person who is a user of this instance or participates in any community hosted on this instance is bound by those rules.

If you don’t like the rules, you are absolutely welcome to find an instance that you would prefer but remember, if you still choose to visit any community here, you gotta pay attention to the rules. If you don’t like that moderators can and will moderate, you might want to find some other place to hang out.

According to the screenshots in the sticky on r/music, they have created a new Admin account under an anonymous name and are messaging mod teams telling them to get back to work. And they removed mod permissions from a mod there (but they’ve been restored now).

That’s why a lot of subs are continuing the protest in other ways. r/pics, r/gifs, r/art have all had polls with the subs and are now currently John Oliver only subs, r/aww is probably about to follow them. r/steam now posts literal steam and steam engines, r/wellthatsucks is posting vacuum cleaners, others like r/interestingasfuck as said they are changing rules to be pretty much anything anyone wants to post as long as the poster thinks it’s interesting as fuck, iOS is similar, they’re removing all rules and anyone can post anything as long as it has something to do with iOS, etc.

I can appreciate the chaos this is devolving into.

I wish there was a way to separate NSFW a little more - I don’t mind NSFW stories and adult language and so forth when scrolling but if I’m in public I don’t want to scroll All and see porn. I have no problem with porn, but to me there’s a time and place.

When I have NSFW disabled, I’m losing entire communities that I read the stories from because sometimes the content does 100% need the warning flag that it might not be for general audiences, but I don’t mind seeing an R rated movie in public while I won’t go see an NC-17 movie or an X rated movie in a theatre, personally, if that makes sense.

I was using Apollo and saw several polls. It forced an opened page in new Reddit to access the poll but it was an isolated post and not cluttered or hard to deal with or anything.

I voted to close a lot of subs before Monday. The subs I voted in are mostly still closed, too, so either they are using that as proof it was community voice or they aren’t big enough subs for the admins to force a reopening.

I have 2 with the idea that if my home instance went down I’d still be able to see what’s going on. Not that I’m concerned about a mass failure, more for like server maintenance downtimes.

There are a couple Reddit centric communities out there, and since this community is supposed to be more about the lemmy.world instance in particular Reddit doesn’t really fit. I think that’s what they’re trying to do.

There’s https://lemmy.ml/c/reddit and https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and a good handful of others where those kinds of posts would probably be more appropriate.

Yeah, it’s a new instance and a lot of new people coming in from Reddit so it’s slipping threw the cracks. Just because the whole instance is NSFW doesn’t mean all of the communities are correctly being marked. It’s probably user error more than anything else.

I personally don’t really care, but I do have NSFW blocked in case I’m scrolling in public and I have been surprised by dicks a few times.

You do have to create another account if you want to move to a new instance, yeah.

I think since lemmy.world is so stable and didn’t have (many) issues when the signup spikes were happening a lot of former Redditors ended up here. lemmy.ml is run by the developers.

Because of the way it all works, and because we can interact with everything we’re federated with, we’re pretty free to choose the best instance for us or even create our own if we wanted to.

Got it downloaded. Looks great. I see there’s going to be an update to be able to scroll my subscribed feed instead of all, looking forward to it.

Sure thing, once it’s up I’ll def get a lot of play from me. I’m not too fond of the Safari experience and really dig the Apollo esque look.

Once it becomes available I’ll happily test it, the videos look great.

Question - does it happen to have dark mode (either matching system or a toggle)? The all white is a bit much for me personally but I’ll test it all the same.

Oh I am sure they’re going to end up putting back a large number of subs. It’s going to happen. The place will fill up with trash if there aren’t good dedicated mods taking care of things but I’m sure the admins are going to force the major subs to reopen.

Maybe mods will keep more subreddits down indefinitely then.
