I enjoy that community as a non-participant. A user's decision to merely interact can reveal much more than they intended to reveal - super interesting to me. Just the existence of the community pits dudes with insecurities against their own lack of self control or social tact, for all to see.

Future me might comment there too quickly after overlooking the community name. I'll get a warranted Tsk and I'll see myself out. No big deal. It's not a kick in the nuts unless I make it one.

When I first started here I had a relevant point for a women's only community on the front. I asked if my opinion was welcome, told it was not (but fairly respectfully), and the only comment I left was an apology.

Like it's not hard to be respectful, even if you hold a slightly different opinion. I don't go to any of the "on grad" posts and let my opinions about Stalin fly(which are largely negative despite me agreeing with a lot of the tenants of communism).

The only exception I make about being respectful is anyone bragging about not voting last election in the US. You all suck and I will not let you live it down peacefully. Ffs vote third party! But don't brag about being a lazy POS and standing by while fascism takes over!

Needs text alternative.Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
    • some users can't read this due to lack of alt text
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
    • image breaks
    • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

Nowhere in that discussion did the commenter deny being female so shame on OP for jumping to conclusions.

You can tell this guy posted himself wearing a “This is what a feminist looks like” t-shirt on linkedin.

Nobody posted it!?

Oh good. I don't follow this com, another comment tipped me off.

While I do enjoy a little bit of chaos and schadenfreude, it would be nice to block out user names. Call out the mistake, not the person.

Most people here are lovely, but it only takes one match to start a fire. Might as well address some bullshit in these comments since I'm gonna get trolled by incels anyway...

side note: I'm not a mod there.

  • The women's com is trans and non-binary inclusive. Anyone who feels at home there (and is respectful) is welcome.

  • It's not all bitching about men. Looking at the last twenty posts, one was about men and two were related to men. We talk about pads and health and essays and positivity memes and do fun activities on fridays.

  • I support men making their own support groups. Although the internet itself often feels like a menfolk support group(to me,) I'm sure there are plenty of things an easy to find, curated space, could offer men who want to be just a little more vulnerable, knowing they would be supported by the mods if any toxic women came in to devalue their opinions and experience.

I blocked this community a while ago so I don’t accidentally view/comment on it

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 minutes ago

Same. I generally don’t care to read posts in communities that practice inclusivity. Same would go for any “men only” communities.
