also how many of our mods are trans? its definitely a lot of them. ive seen some misinformation on /r/traa that this place is transphobic, which is insane to me, ive been here since the beginning and im trans myself and i consider this to be one of the most trans positive places on the internet. no other social media site ive seen has built in pronoun features, and i have seen the mods ban people for using wrong pronouns and even the smallest implications of transphobia. honestly, its more trans positive than some explicitly transgender subreddits due to how active the mods are and how quick they are to delete posts and ban transphobes

          actually yes. iirc there were two trans women pretty early on that posted a pic of them meeting up but it was removed by the transgender comm mods because they were worried about the cute couple being doxxed/attacked because they didnt scrub identifying info from the pic. they were very cute though and eventually posted a hand holding pic

          personally i met my bf on a dating app by typing 'socialist' into the search bar. i also gave him a socialism quiz on our first date lol. i love him so much he takes care of me so well :soviet-bottom: :anarcho-bottom:

              for fear of doxxing, just one of the big ones that had a search feature. afaik almost all of the apps have removed similar features because they greatly expedite the process, thus causing them to lose revenue :marx-joker:

      one major bug we had when doing the migration was that some of our posts had extremely deep nested comments, which was causing issues in the new database schema. New lemmy can only handle nested comments about ~280ish deep. The deepest tree we had was something like 900. It was 'We love our trans comrades' over and over. I think there was also a deep tree with 'ACAB' repeated. they unfortunately had to be deleted :(
