I'm transmasc and I always used to sing Reflection while nearly crying, it works both ways.

Fin Fin was almost a solo project and you can tell. I'm glad I got some help to finish coloring him, I didn't have the time myself.

I understand being skeptical, but there's no reason it should be hard to believe...

You can have a healthy dose of both being informed and practicing self care. Being empathetic is also a good thing, actually.

Just, yikes.

It's solely dependent on the person and their experiences. I know I personally aged a lot from 16 to 18, but some people mature a little faster, some a little slower. Some not at all.

I think 18 is a decent starting cap, but for some people 16 is their 18, and for some it's their 14 or even 13. So it's hard to say.

The manipulation comment is based on my own experiences with teens I've known, so it's subject to bias.

I think it's fine in theory. However, like the other commenter mentioned, it might not be with the best intentions. Young voters, like older voters, tend to be easier to manipulate.

Tumblr is only good for extremely small and niche fandoms similarly to reddit. If I could mass exodus everyone from some of those smaller fandoms to an alternative like the fediverse I would, but most of them aren't techy (or stubborn) so it's difficult!

Their app being inaccessible for the blind was 'not acceptable'. They can go shove it.

Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.

I haven't seen anything like that, personally. I stick to my own communities and have had no issues so far. If anything it's been leagues better than reddit because it's so much smaller.

I gotcha. I think currently, you'd only get banned if they found out (which they can't currently). If the app ever becomes more invasive client side, I'm certain it would cause a ban wave (and maybe a small riot) but for now, it's not that risky.
