I blocked the community mostly because I didn’t like the overly aggressive responses and the lack of any discussion around alternatives etc. but if things have changed since I blocked (which was shortly after it’s inception) then that’s good.
Oh yes, I forgot. I blocked them a while ago which is why I cant see them.
EDIT: I also find their presence here somewhat disappointing. They seem very focused on being polarizing and asking people to not vote biden rather than promoting any sort of alternative, in addition to being needlessly aggressive towards anyone who disagrees with them.
While I’m not personally a fan of hexbear or lemmygrad it sounds like you’re doing a very good job with the moderation.
I’m not familiar with this community nor can I find it on blåhaj?
Valid, but ultimately no average user is gonna try anything like that on their own.
I just don’t like the idea that the moderators tolerate this sort of behavior.
People spreading misinformation to erode my rights and cause violence against me is maybe slightly different from a difference in opinion. Additionally, I think the major instances (at least the general ones) should hold themselves to a higher standard than niche instances.
EDIT: Honestly thinking this is about safe spaces is very tone deaf.
Linux can absolutely replace windows for the average user.
Love your hair !
Some people don’t have an inner monologue at all, actually !
Dunno what either of those things are called
There is absolutely some muscle loss when on hrt. A study suggests transfems are comparable to cis women after about 2 years on hormones. Dunno if transfems have an easier time having visible abs, though.

Don’t read the comments there :/ Terf island is appropriate
I think you meant “being a woman isn’t bad” o_o
I would recommend checking out this website: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ It has helped a lot of trans people understand themselves, and would probably help you understand trans people as well :)
EDIT: This game let’s you walk around and see some common terms and stuff: https://purplesloth.itch.io/whats-your-gender
“Why are you trying to do [x]? Have you tried doing [y] instead?”
Yes, but that’s why I keep saying average user. Your average user mostly just browses the internet, casually plays games, and uses common software like word, with increasingly many apps/services being available online. Gamers who mess with drivers, the hardware, and bios settings and such are not really the norm. How many people in your life are afraid to touch the windows settings, if they even know where to find them?
Honestly most of the popularity of windows at home these days I’m willing to bet is because it’s what’s installed by default, and of course because of familiarity.
You’re right of course that professionally you can’t always replace windows, and while proton let’s you play almost anything there are certain games that aren’t available (usually because of anti-cheat). Most pc users however won’t notice as they aren’t gamers. I do also find that the settings and gui package managers on most distros are way more user-friendly than what you have on windows, which I think is another point in favour of using linux casually.
EDIT: Also most users don’t have high-end machines, and linux pc’s are nicer on the hardware and are less performance intensive which means their computers will be relevant for longer.
