This is a new Atlantic Ocean / Gulf of Mexico tropical weather blog from the meteorologists of Space City Weather (of local
Houston fame). They’ve always done a good job when things get nearby Houston, so I have high hopes for this as well.
/r/tropicalweather has always been a good resource as well… this is one of the things I have no problem going back to Reddit for specifically.
That’s certainly one of the dumbest culture war legislations in recent history… I don’t even see any particular ideological justification for this either.
To the best of my knowledge, this is a temporary kbin-specific thing. Pretty sure I saw Ernest mention there is a change in the works with the next update... in fact: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/116811/PSA-every-interaction-you-make-with-various-posts-on-kbin#entry-comment-462816
I had to scroll a bit but I did come across some (1-2 hr old) posts from Beehaw and the such eventually. It did seem a bit harder to find these with the newest tab as opposed to the other sorting options, but that might just be coincidence.
Hmm, 63 upvotes and two comments… there is certain level of irony here.
Make sure you didn’t accidentally switch to the non-federated view (you can find this federation toggle if you click the triangle icon next to the UI settings icon).
I was thinking about the long term perception of these protests, assuming Reddit does not change course… and after the users who are ticked off get bored / leave for other platforms, the protesting will be seen as trolling by more and more of the remaining users. Eventually there wont be majority support within subscribers for these sorts of actions. Perhaps Reddits supposed mod referendum would come into play here.
On the other hand, subreddits were always before beholden to the whims of the mod hierarchy, and there’s no particular need to do anything to the existing subs to resolve these protests. After all, there’s certainly nothing stopping people from creating admin-friendly alternative subreddits. I doubt any subs with clean sweeps of the moderator team will be coming back quite the same as before anyways.
While I understand why there is lots of negative energy about Reddit right now, there’s no need to be hostile to people who still want to use it—it is still a massive repository of information and serves a ton of different communities, after all.
People should be on Reddit if they want to be on Reddit, and be here if they want to be here, and that’s not an insult to anyone.
I don’t think Reddit is going to change course here (or, in the future)… at some point protesters are going to have to give up, get out, or become increasingly perceived as trolls.
Here is an article by the same author on subject, if you prefer text over video:
Peer pressure is useful in tempering these behaviors, at least insomuch as people fear getting caught and called out for their actions. The ones who most need this are probably the least likely to actually regard their female colleagues as peers, so hopefully there will be more effort from men like this speaking out in the future as well.
And here I thought this was going to be post apocalyptic survival game where you play the part of a rogue AI forced to interact with its environment solely through awk commands.
Children are bombarded by gender norms long before they stop using diapers… so you can’t really mean ‘gender identity’ here. Presumably you mean “nobody should learn about transgender identities until high school or maybe college”.
I assume, much like the many people who realize they are gay or lesbian earlier in adolescence, that many transgendered individuals also realize or suspect their gender status early in adolescence as well. It’s rather cruel to hide away information like this at the time when it is especially relevant… just as it would be cruel to not teach about periods until many girls have already started them (another bright inspiration brought to us by social conservatives). Rather than being isolated in the dark, children should be supported as they grow into their own individuals.
