Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

As you may know, I moved to using my blahaj.zone account almost exclusively, as I kinda disliked the vibe I was getting from .world. At the same time, I also want to gage the feelings people have about the migration. Will you continue to use 196 on lemmy.world? Are you happy with the change? I want to hear from you:

I deleted my account a few months ago because of 196, as well as trolls using neopronouns to stir shit up on blahaj.

Old mod before me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

the whole thing was bizarre and unnecessary! kind of casted a lot of doubt on the integrity mod team for me. the onehundredninetysix community has been pretty cool and I'll keep sending posts their way

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

196 moderation is just so dramatic. some creature likes to fuck dragons, a different user hates dragon fuckers, the whole sub goes on defense about why fucking dragons is or isn't acceptable, and now that's the content for a solid week.

but yeah, i get it: it's a special place and special places require care to keep them special. still, any time there's the slightest drama i have to mute that whole sub for a week if i don't want to be dragged into it. i wish i didn't have to: i wish we could magically have the special place without the drama.

anyway no: i'm not going to lemmy.world. migrating instances is largely orthogonal to my (minor) qualms with that community, and 50% of my interactions with lemmy.world have resulted in me blocking one of their users: there's just way too much toxicity over there. i'll hang around the new [email protected] for a bit and just spend more time in whichever of the two has better vibes.

Having only found out about it from this thread i feel i can give a perfectly authoritative and unwaveringly confident answer: eh. But seriously, I'm cool if they just want to leave blahaj, but going to world? Just why? To to literally anywhere else.

The .world MUST grow! /j

I do not get the rational behind it, i get what they said, but it doesn’t clear anything up because it’s so vague.

I’m not convinced of the necessity of the move and I’m not really attached in anyway to the mod team, not saying I don’t appreciate the work they’ve done, I just have no strong attachment to them being in charge of moderation, so why would I pick up and fallow them? There’s another 196 on here now so no reason to go fallow them to .world.

Also, I’m hesitant to see large communities get concentrated on .world, it’s already large and making it larger seems risky, like putting too many eggs in one basket. If something happens to it and a lot of important communities are based there, then that kind of puts a huge gaping hole in lemmy as a whole. Better to have things distributed more evenly across other instances for the sake of resiliency.

Tbh this just led to me instance blocking .world and .ml. Thinking about how the move made realize how pretty much every bad interaction I've had on the fediverse was in those two instances.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The issue is that there are still a lot of blahaj.zone regulars with .world accounts. I only switched over recently. There are also good communities like [email protected] and [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still see users from those instances on ones I don't have filtered, afaik

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I realized that midway through typing. I'm not as tech savvy as the average lemmy user ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's not intuitive and tbh I would block ml users globally if I could. My block list consists mostly of them

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Already blocked lemmy.world's 196. Sad to see Moss make 196 jump ship, but if what's important to Moss is visibility to as many instances as possible at the expense of user experience, then I don't think we need that community here anyway. We can always revive ours, or make a new one c:

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

i’ll continue to browse the one here, and i’ll refuse to put foot on l.w. That’s an incredibly wrong move.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

all in all it doesn't really matter, I don't think. Nothing much will change. I just really loved that fact that there was a popular community not on .world. I liked it being spread out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I feel like less might've changed if it had been another instance AND the community was given a heads up. It does seem like the mods really are willing to tolerate more than Ada, which would change things more gradually.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I am in the process of switching my account from world to blahaj. So I'm not particularly happy about this change.

I'll use the new 196 as a passive viewer, but I'm unlikely to post or comment after this change.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You know whats interesting with all this is while Ada is getting brought up a lot in contrast to the 196 mods, I actually think there's a mod on fedi that gives an example of how to handle this kind of thing better. Db0 is not perfect per se because no one is, but I can't think of a more transparent mod off the top of my head (though Beehaws has defederated a few larger instances where they may be). When he(?) wants to do something he just asks his users how they feel. He writes a lot of blogs about whats happening in his community and since he has a hand developing some of Lemmy's tech hes sure to let you know if a user-affecting change is coming. He's not perfect but he's got what I would dub integrity. This might be putting it on thick but I myself have modded a very small (low dozens) community and I've felt the burn of a lack of communication that moss is feeling now and its avoidable. Db0 does get into trouble with his users, but clearly he's actually in it for them.

Aw! These kind of comments make it all worth it! pirate captain hugging a treasure chest

In case you're curious, the way I usually go about things, is that I want my actions to signal that I want my users to not only feel protected by me (and the other instance admins) but also protected from me. It's why I always default to the strongest copyleft licenses for my work, and why I keep asking peeps what they think about potential decisions.

I feel a lot of the time people get in the mindset that taking top-down decisions "for the good of the community" cuts away a lot of the red tape and keeps things moving quickly. This is especially true in auth-left instances. And while that can be quite true when one is making decisions that happen to agree with their communities, eventually, everyone makes one that doesn't. The problem when you're used to taking decisions top down because "you know better", you start seeing any dissent as haters or reactionaries (depending on your perspective), and by the time one realizes that,no, actually this is a popular sentiment, you have a shitstorm on your hands.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Db0 and I got into a personal disagreement that was vaguely related to the instance I’m on (theirs) and with other mods/admins it probably would of led to me immediately being kicked out rather than just an agree to disagree resolution.

I’m happy on that instance so far. Much better than world.
