The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

    Not to mention believing there’s anything “left wing” about Reddit.

    This is like the “No true Scotsman” fallacy.

    Try posting any less-than left wing ideas on any big Reddit sub and see how many upvotes you get. I’m not talking about alt-right nonsense, just stuff like “maybe public school women’s teams should be separate from teams with trans women athletes on them.”

    Actual discussion about anything political is impossible on Reddit anywhere but small communities, because the site is such an echo-chamber.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if I get attacked here just for using that as an example, because it’s such a clusterfuck of a topic.

      Because it’s tiresome to have the same conversation that you could have answered yourself by listening to literally any credible medical source, or paying attention to places with allow trans athletes and the requirements and protections they offer.

      But since I’m feeling generous about doing the educational burden of opening up google and searching for a relevant scientific paper for you, here you go, a metastudy and in-depth review of all the medical and scientific literature on this subject including an executive summary for those which are not scientifically inclined.

        You completely missed and supported my point at the same time.

        I was debating…

        Kichae: Not to mention believing there’s anything “left wing” about Reddit.

        …and nothing else.

        Myself: I wouldn’t be surprised if I get attacked here just for using that as an example

        Thank you for insulting me for being uniformed, while entirely missing the point of discussion. We all know that insulting people’s intelligence is the best way to spread awareness.
