Rules
1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either
• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
2.) No Spam
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
4.) No Selfies or Character Creations
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
5.) SFW-only
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
Some notes:
1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
3.) Don't break the law
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
Sibling forums:
!egg_irl
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
!196
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

MODERATORS
You can't move your account but you can have multiple acounts with the same name if they're not on the same instance. In the Voyager app you can stay logged into more than one at the same time. Also you can check out most instances without creating an account so I'd suggest taking a look yourself to see what you like. You can find a list with filter options here.
People really want free speech until they don't.
If someone's being a prick, just clown on them. They are entitled to speak their opinion, regardless of how stupid it is. Social ostracization will always be worse than anything moderation can do anyways.
That works while there's enough people. If they outnumber the ones doing the clowning, it starts working the opposite way.
The left is getting killed on the trans sports issue (which I believe is a completely manufactured issue) because we haven't talked about it enough to iron out a reasonable position.
The general pop is not accepting of trans people in professional sports. I don't think that will change anytime soon but trans people playing school sports is far more accepted and I think its a much more convincing to fight on the issue of trans people participating in school sports for fun and social reasons. It draws away from the shit narrative that trans people are trying to compete at the highest level and I don't think anyone can reasonably argue against it since casual sport commonly mixes gender.
I usually point out that the Olympics have allowed trans contenders since 2004, and if it was the cheat code it's asserted to be, the entire Chinese and Russian teams would be trans people. That usually gets people thinking "huh, maybe this is some bull"
That's the problem with platforms that offshoot for free speech reasons.
I want to be able to say eat the rich and luigi magione was right.
Others want to spout hate in all forms.
Then people begin to argue these are the save of you should tolerate intolerance. Which you should never do
They wanted to be Reddit again and boy are they still trying to do that.
We should all block Lemmy.world unless they get their act together.
I didn't realize there was much of a culture difference between the instances. Is this written down anywhere?
The admins influence the culture of their instances a lot more than they would like to admit.
Fair, but I have to admit, it's kind of hard to figure out.
Yeah, I'm new-ish and I don't yet know the various instance "cultures." Hopefully picking blahaj wasn't a mistake, lol.
The admin is great and doesn't put up with nonsense. Downvotes are disabled, which took some getting used to. I have never regretted my choice of instance. Very queer-friendly and I like the people as a whole. Welcome, hope you love it.
Thanks!
Blahaj is pretty good. I think you don't get a downvote option there which I don't quite understand but the people are chill.
I was wondering about downvotes since I saw people mentioning them, but don't see the option to do that myself. That explains it.
Not really. And that's because anybody who would write it down recognizes that they're going to get piled on.
It's such a cesspool over there
Spoiler: they won't.
Lemmy.world is a a full on trash bag when it comes to those sorts of comments. And some people tried to tell me I was overreacting or lying about it (in specific reference to the 196 push that they failed at, yet still post to to try and garner new subs).
