  • A small amount of hairs will always grow back.

    Yeah, that’s what I was saying on matrix is what concerns me. Like, I’m thinking I just want the most permanent removal possible. I’m such a perfectionist, and it causes bad thoughts to consider flaws and stuff. I really need to find a surgeon and go over this stuff. Also a therapist would probably help a lot right now…

    I get the suspicion that some of the more spirited discussions so far came with a tinge of suspicion that I’m one of the bad folks looking to invade spaces and sow discord,

    Yeah, we generally have to have our guard up, especially in these types of threads. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the “just asking questions” type of transphobe, but it is a very real problem for communities like this one. The topic or phrasing of a question can raise red-flags for sure.

    But I believe that you’re being sincere.

    For some of us yes, and for others no.

    It’s difficult for me to even imagine the complexities of such a world that lacks gender norms. Would there be fewer trans people? Possibly. But in such a world, there would still be trans people like me that feel a strong need for surgery.

    Edit: Forgot to mention HRT, which many of us would still need.






  • I browsed the communities on their instance using mlmym so I could see the full list. Then I tried to access the lemmytoday community from my Mbin account, and I got a 404 error.

    So that’s what I meant when I said I can’t report things to the admins on lemmy.today, since I can’t post on their dedicated community.

    I’ve noticed recently that my instance can’t fetch new communities anymore. For instance, I fetched all of the good LGBTQ+ accounts months ago without an account, and they all eventually federated across. But I can’t fetch asktransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone or any other communities that aren’t already federated. I was thankfully able to fetch trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone before this issue.

    On another note, if moderator actions don’t federate across instances, does that mean when I see this:

    [Thread, post or comment was deleted by the moderator]

    the comment was deleted by a moderator on my Mbin instance, rather than a moderator on Blahaj? In that case, I would think my reports are working.




  • The eviltoast.org instance doesn’t seem to have much local content, and a recent post asks:

    Why has Lemmy.ml and feddit.UK defederated from eviltoast

    My instance seems to have de-federated from it already as well.

    The lemmy.today instance has more local content and engagement, but I can’t seem to interact with its communities from my Mbin account. So I can’t contact their admins and report issues.

    Maybe the mod from Blahaj that removed their content can report the problem to their instance?
