I didn’t post a lot but I was definitely anxious about commenting because if it wasn’t worded just right, someone would take it out of context and be offended by it or downvote it to hell. I remember telling someone that I loved their poems - downvoted. I corrected someone about the difference between ESAs and service dogs - cue arguments when they can just literally read the ADA (law). I apologized for getting something wrong - insults and talked down to. I also remember being told that latinx is what trans Latinos want people to use, I used it and was greatly talked down to and told I’m not a real Latino. It felt like reddit was just really hostile no matter what I did. There were many times I wrote a comment but then discarded it.

The problem is jerboa, I believe it is being looked into by the devs

Pixelfed is supposed to be good, haven’t tried it.

I went to school in the '10s and there was no mention of LGBT in sex ed. Just how the menstrual cycle works, effectiveness of different birth control, and how to get free condoms. I was called a lesbian a few times because I only hung out in a girl group but they just found other ways to insult me when I started hanging around guys as well. It turned out I was bi but yeah I got the feeling homophobia was just normal back then, encouraged even. I wonder if anything has changed.
