Oh, don't worry, it's only bad for the common people so that doesn't count.

It's like Web 1.0, all over again, but this time with better technology

Tabs are one tab character wide, it's perfect

Is this the fabled can-can?

Nah I think they just knew there'd be a drop in traffic and scheduled some maintenance, lol

I foresee no issues with this extrapolation.

There's a lot of things wrapped up in "trans"; lots of identities fall under trans as a term, but don't necessarily relate to one another. I'm a trans woman, while my experience relates in some ways to transmascs and to agender or enby folk, in many ways it does not. This kind of subdivision is, I think, less evident for the L or the G in LGBTQ+ because they're more specific things.

Along with that, Reddit is (was) one of those places where it was possible to build a supportive community of anonymous individuals, somewhere it's safe to be yourself without putting your real identity against that presentation. For a lot of us, it was the first place we were truly us, and it really sucks to see how it's being torn apart right now. A bigger concern especially now, while things are as batshit insane for trans kids as they are, is that these communities will now be harder to access even if they do stick around after the 30th - so where do the people who don't have the safety or freedom in their offline lives to express themselves and work through their identity go then?

We'll cross that bridge after we've set it on fire

Why not start them?

I'll be excited about it when there's some actual consequences for him out of it. Until then I'm just utterly convinced he'll face no actual penalty for his actions.

Bare bones and information dense are things I like about it, honestly; crammed with popups about cookies and privacy policies and newsletters and adverts is the nominal experience.

Hello I'm a trans person from the UK here to tell you this is sadly not the case at all.
