  • Personally I prefer free range Fediverses.

    But seriously, I think it’s still an extremely tough sell to get people to pay for social media. I also think this is only meaningfully effective at a pretty large scale, I think the fediverse is better with many small servers. If we do want this sort of larger scale development I don’t think “donate to vote” is particularly appealing to the average user.

    I think a more enticing model I think is pay for feature work. An estimate is made for a features difficulty and then users donate (with some sort of fee to go towards server maintenance/upkeep) towards a feature and if the goal is reached the feature is worked on. This is already a popular model for particularly translations of freeware.







  • You don’t seem to be reading my comments, or perhaps you are conflating them with someone elses?

    Firstly, I asked why the statements that I said are not sexist are harmful, I don’t think your statement answers that.

    Second, the whole point of my initial post and the original post here, is that it isn’t biological differences, it’s social differences about how you are raised, how you were taught. Within a western context we all were sent to the same schools, the same playground experiences, the same movies and TV and the same daycares. Even if an individual escapes the socialization of one of these vectors, they are still exposed to all the others. that’s what’s under critique, not inherent truths about humanity. It’s important to introspect on these issues and seek to unlearn the parts that are harmful.

    I also never even mentioned the word rapists in any of my comments, that seems like an entirely separate conversation entirely.

    Could you elaborate on why you feel one or more of those statements is harmful? These sorts of statements were very helpful to me growing up, it was pivotal in realizing there wasnt something wrong with me, but rather i just needed to seek some extra instruction. Seems like the one on emotional regulation might be very helpful to you as well, as it seems to be limiting your ability to communicate here.


  • Idk if it’s getting worse, most gen z boys seem to have been taught to clean much better than those before and are expected to be able to cook. That’s not to say all movements to equality happen in the right direction, it seems young boys have much more body issues than before (e.g mogging mewing etc) and that sucks.

    Men are bad at cleaning => sexist

    Men are not taught as children to clean => not sexist

    Men can’t emotionally regulate => sexist

    Men are not socialized to emotionally regulate => not sexist

    Women can’t change a tire => sexist

    Women aren’t taught to change a tire => not sexist

    Women are emotional => sexist

    Women are taught to share their emotions => not sexist

    There’s a big difference between making a statement about society and making a statement about humanity.
