Some communities have always made it hard for Spring Breakers but I agree, momentum is building.

Okay, this is going to need elaboration.

Yeah this seems crazy. We should just require Israel to set forth and protect a humanitarian corridor. We have a ton of leverage against Israel.

There's also the probability that OP is fixating on the sort of hyperfeminine transwomen that are often quite prominent on social media, when in fact there are many transwomen flying under the radar. I would guess that OP is attracted to lavish displays of femininity, and you can find a lot of those in the social media presences of some transwomen. Some biological women as well, but OP is exposed to many, many, more biological women that do not display themselves with this feminine style.

No judgement on any of this I'm just trying to articulate a statistical and aestheic phenomenon.

Some instances defederate from others, and you want to make your community somewhere where you agree with the moderation policy.

Is there a way to easily see which instances are defederated from others (or conversely which instances are connected)?

What does defederation imply? Feeds aren't aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?

Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it's part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?

Thanks. Is lemmy.world the best instance for general discussion?

I'm sorry, you're confused about this. People with money are not driving the behavior of the hottie enjoyers. It's the reverse. Joe Everyman is willing to give his attention to hot women, and Instagram is profiting off that.

Images of women dominate social media because men with power (and money) tend to like looking at them

Lol you think all the horny 20 something dudes salivating over Instagram hotties have power and money?

This is only true if you believe that solitary pursuits are worse for people than the kind of social engagement that is common on social media. I definitely don't agree, but I'll hear you out if ou want to explain.

Range of motion exercises are extremely important once the acute phase of pain and swelling goes down (~1 day). Ankle rotations and making the cross. Do it a lot.

If you have bruising, or the pain and swelling persists after a day of RICE, see a doctor.

Which already happens, but in any case, that's easily solvable too. Accounts that never engage with anything = low power, accounts that engage a lot and then vote wisely = high power.

I agree, machines do tons of dangerous and hard work people used to. Farm labor is the greatest example, it used to be backbreaking work for dozens of men and animals and now it's one guy with a tractor or combine.

That we haven't automated ALL hard work before we started on art isn't a great argument IMO
