If you are a trans person wanting to flee a red state, but have no place to go, send me a secure message.
I cannot do much right now, but I can refer you to AFFORDABLE & SAFE shared living.

Oh, poor them. I feel so sorry for them, I'm sure they don't know that there are better platform out there like Lemmy that aren't centrally controlled and haven't expressed transphobic policies.
-
For a message like this you want it to reach as many people as possible. Lemmy is absolutely not that platform. Tiktok and Instagram, for all their misgivings, have a much wider reach. I don't think people who are fearing for their life particularly care about the morals of using certain platforms

Any port in a storm, indeed.
-
Indeed, better there than nowhere, it's just a shame most people in general still use such problematic platforms, particularly for trans people.

I'm not really sure what talking down to people that clearly aren't part of this platform accomplishes. Even if they were here this kind of comment might make them less likely to post something.
-
The vast, vast majority of people don't even know these platforms exist
-
I know, I said it's a shame they don't know that they exist.

Seeing this right next to the thread about TikTok being banned in the US...
