I’m from small town VT just across the river, and while that hasn’t been my personal experience I absolutely have known people who have had that experience. Small town USA is unbelievably messed up, but everyone likes to act like its only in the cities. Felt like half my town was Section 8, and an actual full 10th of the population was from the county jail on furlough. Since I’ve left, violent crime/murder rate has gone up a lot and heavy drug use is rampant.

I’m sorry dude.

I mean I’m sure Lemmy’s server process is stateless, I’m sure it could use CloudRun/ECS pretty efficiently and that wouldn’t really require a rewrite (unless the process is stateful for some reason)

… you’re the one that invented the “chaser” angle though, speculation you “felt” was true with no real basis for that. The commentor was genuinely not being transphobic, nor did they “group” post op and pre op as “the same”. Those two groups of people made it onto their list of “people I could be attracted to” when they were directly asked if those two groups were physically attractive to them. Please stop inventing drama, that commentor doesn’t deserve to be witch hunted across unrelated threads.

Fuck transphobes tho. Trans rights are human rights.
