    A forum… moves to a chat app? A proprietary one too? They’re practically begging to be censored just like on reddit.

    Going from one closed and centralized anti free speech service owned by a malicious corporation to another closed and centralized anti free-speech service owned by a malicious corporation.

    The amount of copium needed for doing that must be insane! Or they don’t really want free speech and independence at all.

        No. VPN users are banned on reddit, and discord would require to create an account on this shitty platform. Maybe they’ll understand in a few years though.

          I was mostly talking about Reddit, where I guess most of the people here still have an account.

    Well, that’s both good and bad.

    Bad, because discord is just a stone’s throw away from doing the same kind of fuckery.

    But good because the subject is important, the community is important, and it needs to be active.

    But, bad, because places like the armed gay agenda, !armedqweers@lemmy.blahaj.zone exist here on lemmy, and there’s a strong presence of trans people that are willing to be armed and ready here.

    Fwiw, anyone running across this that’s thinking about getting armed, but don’t have the knowledge base to move in that direction, don’t hesitate to holla at me. I’m no expert (though I am a damn good shot), but I’ll do what I can.

    Also, there’s multiple gun communities on lemmy. Iirc, !guns@lemmy.world and !guns@lemmy.ml are the two most active, but !guns@lemmy.ee is there if those instances aren’t to your liking

    Trump will continue trying to prosecute trans individuals and trans supporters with the force of law. Discord is not going to stick their neck out for you. They do not care about you. They’re selling all of your information to AI companies to target you.

        I can’t even see anything on Reddit anymore, much less post anything there.

            Have you jumped in to let them know? Because I can’t, and that makes three so far in this thread; meanwhile, it seems like you could have just gone ahead and done it already.

                That’s good work, and it’s more than anyone could ask of you, thank you for doing it! I hope it’s clear I was just turning your responses around; “feel free to jump in and let them know”, “sad to hear” don’t read well. I’m not in any way trying to say that you haven’t been doing enough.

                  I rephrased “sad to hear” to “that’s unfortunate”

                  What about “feel free to jump in and let them know”, how would you change it so that it still calls to action?
