Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I don't like this. The linked post doesn't play instead redirects to an app store. After backing out and selecting, "view in browser," to view the clip in browser that I am already using, it actually played. But before anything happened, it asked me to sign in to see more.

I hate this trend. This trend is very bad. We should probably put the entire internet in the bin at this point.

It's especially annoying when so many local bands I follow only use Facebook and Instagram to promote, much less internet memes.

Frontends are your friend! I use flufi.me. But most of the time I just avoid Instagram like the plague these days. Instagram is this unfortunate mix of essential local updates, toxicity, and unattainable beauty standards all wrapped up in a slop algorithm.
