Regarding my account... I was previously on lemmy.world, (under the same username) but moved to programming.dev since world defederated from piracy@dbzer0, and I didn't want to have multiple accounts.

So yeah, it's new in that manner, but I'm surely not a troll.

As I said, this is my opinion, I didn't impose my opinion onto others and i certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me.

But I don't think a perma-ban from the whole community is the right answer here.

Transphobic leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
Let's take islam as an example... btw, I'm a muslim.

If I'd say something along these lines "It's absurd that we live in a society where people feel the urge to tell me to greet them with 'sallam alleykum'".

Would that be islamophobic?

And yes, I agree, If I were to go around and just write these types of comments on every occasion, sure, that'd be a rightful ban.

barest minimum of respect

what's that even supposed to mean? If I talk to someone like I do with everyone else, without changing my tone/or opinion based on whatever race/religion/identity they go by, then I certainly am treating everyone with the same amount of respect.

We've lived for millennia now, and I don't recall a single book where a person of the past was mentioned in addition with their pronoun, in the sense of "____ was a writer/artist/mathematician in the late 1800s who went by they/them"... etc.

We're introducing unnecessary complications into an already complicated society we live in.

thx, just realized it's 3 days... didn't even know I could look it up, and I also didn't get notified about the ban (or at least not in the app that I'm using now)

@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

Oh come on, seriously? ... false equivalence? would you at least dare to explain why?

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

thx, didn't know I could look it up, and also didn't receive a notification.

That's exactly my point, but it looks like my comment was considered "transphobic" which goes against the CoD... so that's reasonable.

What's not reasonable is the interpretation of "transphobic", which leaves a lot of room for.

ok, then what about the 16th century, 5th, 2nd, 100 B.C, 200 B.C?

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

Lol, that LINUX FORUM was literally about that topic. And I just participated in an already ongoing conversation which I got caught up on.

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

The islamic example is a 1:1 representation of the comment I made, which I was banned for, as a reply to the previous OP talking about "false equivalence"

Actually, when I read your comment you're exactly saying what I meant to say, but admittedly in a much more polite manner.

I fully agree with you... everyone should be able to do what fulfils them and makes them happy no matter their gender, without being judged by society.

And yet no one is referring to Kim as Kim Kardashian West, but still Kim Kardashian.

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

I got banned there too for not being any kind of phobic 😥

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

You're talking as if transgenderism and homosexuality (and their problems) emerged in the 19th century. That's why I asked you about the other centuries?

Pederasty was a socially acceptable thing back in 600 b.c amongst the Etruscans, for example.

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

I've heard about them, but I thought this was only in (political) communities I don't even participate in.

ad_on_is OP ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

lol, right-wing playbook... dude, I'm anything but right-wing

you only have one IP. As you rightfully said, reverse proxy does only http(s), port 80/443. this works because of the nature how http requests work. They carry the hostname as part of the protocol (request headers). SSH is a whole other story, since the client does not send the hostname as part of the protocol, only the IP and the port.

What you can do is forward different ports to different machines... 2021 -> server1, 2022 -> server2, etc.

The fact that we live in a society, where someone feels the urge to tell me how to gender them, and expects me to do so, is just absurd.

How silly would it be if I were to tell everyone I meet to call me "your Highness" or else I'd be pissed and throw a tantrum.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

ad_on_is ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

Actually, I'd much prefer a FOSS alternative of Affinity Photo instead of Photoshop.

ad_on_is ,
@ad_on_is@programming.dev avatar

yeah, I'd totally pay for it.
