  • The way I see it is the rules exist to improve the experience of the community. They set guidelines to help us achieve that. The rules aren’t the final source of truth though, the quality of the community is.

    So, if you see something that breaks the rules and is pulling the community down in doing so, use the report function, and highlight it.

    If it’s breaking a rule, but not harming the community, then just let it fly.

    I have no interest in enforcing rules for the sake of rules. I see them more as guidelines for fostering a better community, and that’s the lens through which I moderate.







  • Can confirm

    Image description: A screenshot from a birdpi, a device that identifies birds by their song, and catalogues their activity vs the time of day. The image shows a small amount of activity from a Barn Owl at 10pm and 1am. It also shows a very large volume of activity at 7am from crows, and other Australian birds






  • I’m pretty old and I’ve “completed” my transition, and I’m always happy to share my experiences or knowledge if people are interested.

    Twinsies :)

    But as GarfGirl has mentioned, if you’ve got a matrix account, I co-admin a matrix space that might be of interest. It’s not as convenient as discord, but, it’s decentralised and federated, and not hosted by a corporation driven by profit above everything else. So if that stuff is important to you, you’re welcome to give it a try


  • I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.

    So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P
