  • Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

    If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.

    If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.

    Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.



  • I feel bad for the originator of Mlem, honestly. Why in the world would someone download a beta app and then throw a fit when something doesn’t work quite right? My goodness, it’s in TestFlight, it’s not a release candidate yet and there is going to be some unexpected behavior sometimes.

    My personal preference for apps is Memmy (and I’ve tried all of the ones currently in beta) but I’m not sending nastygrams to the other devs because they didn’t fit my taste preferences or they crashed or something.


  • I wish there was a way to separate NSFW a little more - I don’t mind NSFW stories and adult language and so forth when scrolling but if I’m in public I don’t want to scroll All and see porn. I have no problem with porn, but to me there’s a time and place.

    When I have NSFW disabled, I’m losing entire communities that I read the stories from because sometimes the content does 100% need the warning flag that it might not be for general audiences, but I don’t mind seeing an R rated movie in public while I won’t go see an NC-17 movie or an X rated movie in a theatre, personally, if that makes sense.


  • Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.

    They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.

    I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.
