Please please please add a CW to any news stories about transphobia or other anti-trans bigotry. This is doubly important if it involves violence or politics. Remember, many trans people gather here to escape from transphobia / transmisia in our daily lives. Please respect our mental health by using the CW feature! :neofox_pleading: #Trans #Transgender

@ThePlant@mastodon.social if "relevant" means compromising our safety and community, then I don't want it.

Hi fedi friends! A recent conversation made me wonder about something, so I'm posting a 100% Scientifically Accurate Fedi Poll ™️ to find the answer.My hypothesis (see? very scientific!) is that trans people are more likely to have grown up with "social games" rather than "social media." To define those terms a bit, "social media" in this case refers to online platforms where the primary goal is to connect people with a larger social graph via the internet. Any other features are secondary. "Social games", on the other hand, means anything where the primary goal is to offer gameplay and a secondary goal is to connect players in a social capacity. Some examples:- Facebook: social media- Reddit: social media- Instagram: social media- Fediverse: social media- any MMOROG: social game- Club Penguin: social game- WebKinz: social game- VRChat: social gameThis is not an exhaustive list, of course. For anything not listed please use your own judgement. You're free to ask if not sure! You can also consider offline social media / games, if you feel that's more applicable to you. Just please keep in mind the "social" part!Now for the actual poll: "which did you first experience - social media, or social games?" I'm opening this to trans and cis people because I want to draw a comparison. Anyone is welcome to vote!Please boost for visibility - I'd like to get a wide range of answers.#Poll #Trans #Transgender #SocialMedia #OnlineGames #RPGs #Gaming

🏳️⚧️ Safety tip for Transfem.Social members: 🏳️⚧️Hi friends! Ember here with a small suggestion / reminder for online safety. This is not an instance rule, to be clear, just something that I strongly recommend for online personal safety.In short - never share your personal information online!We're a friendly, close-knit community here, but that doesn't make it safe to post personal details. Bad-faith actors sometimes sneak into communities like ours, looking for vulnerable people to stalk and harass. Fedi, in particular, has a problem of hateful people operating "scrapers" that use bots to scan the federated timeline and capture any information on marginalized people. This gets passed on to dangerous groups like KiwiFarms and used for targeted harassment.Fortunately, you can resist this by limiting what types of personal information you share online. In particular, here are some things that you should never reveal:- Your legal name(s)- Your birth date- Your address (even city of residence)- Photos of your house (especially the exterior)- Your phone number- Where you workThere's also some which are a bit less critical, but I still strongly recommend against sharing. If you want to publish one of these, then please take the time to complete a calculated risk assessment!- Selfies / other photos showing your face- Your exact age (and be careful with ranges)- Where you went to school / college- Details of businesses / organizations you visit- Uncommon medical conditions (doctors get hacked a lot)This may seem like a lot, but I promise you - it's a small price to pay for online safety! There are horrible people out there, and they'd like nothing more than to make us suffer. Let's make sure that doesn't happen!--With love from Ember,Transfem.Social Community Moderator:heart_pride: :heart_trans:#TransfemSocial #Transfem #Trans #OnlineSafety #PersonalSafety #Privacy

@soatok@furry.engineer Matrix is a poor choice even without the cryptography issues. We briefly ran a Matrix home-server for our instance community, and the overall experience was terrible. There were endless client issues, the software was a pain to deploy, and moderation features were barebones at best. We finally shut the whole thing down after a single user successfully brigaded the instance with slurs and bigotry. Despite a whole staff of moderators, we were powerless to stop the attack because the protocol failed to provide effective federation controls.I want to like Matrix, but I just cant. It doesn't meet the needs of a safe online environment, and I consider that a minimum requirement for any social platform.CC @Amelia

I wish I didn't have to say this, but please don't make transmasc and non-binary people uncomfortable here. Despite our community name, the TransFem.org network is a safe space for all transgender people. "Jokes" at the expensive of masc-aligned people are not acceptable, and we will take action against them.
