There is unfortunately a culture of entitlement and harassment that is absolutely pervasive on the internet. There's a special kind of tech harassment and entitlement which emerged on the internet from stackflow, github and other major websites which put up with people grandstanding their ideals and shitting on other people who don't have enough experience or are asking simple questions or demanding changes or hijacking reports to share one's own ideals which lead to nice people like OP simply leaving these spaces.

Please think twice before demanding something of a developer, and admin, a moderator. Think about what you're putting out into the world. There's another human behind that screen, extend them a little faith. Ask yourself what you can do to help, before demanding something of others.

In short we need long term, permanent solutions. We're more comfortable paying for bounties than for a tool which has no guarantee of continuing to exist or continuing to be developed. We're not opposed to paying for a tool as a stop gap, in lieu of a permanent solution, but it's ultimately not a solution.

I understand the need and desire to be compensated for your work and we want to support any and all work that goes into improving the platform, but divorcing yourself from the platform to offer saas is unfortunately not improving the platform. If we bought in, we'd now be at the mercy of two platforms and could find ourselves scrambling if you ever go down, stop developing, or cease to exist. That's not a risk I'm willing to take.

No way to validate it is actually the user if they're locked out... mod shouldn't be able to change email either, but realistically they can do that to the db if they want to. Your info exists on their server, so they can change your password too. Anyone could disable/enable these kinds of tools that automatically notify, ultimately you shouldn't sign up for an instance you don't trust.

There's a little trans art gallery called liminal space that you might want to check out. Past that just the typical SF stuff - check out Castro, glbt museum, hit up mission Dolores Park, etc.

What kinda city stuff do you like? Hikes? Beach? Museums? Food? More direction and I can provide recs

tsql and plsql allow more flexibility than plain sql and are integrated in most modern platforms like postgre

honestly once you're familiar enough with sql you can do whatever you need to do via a series of tables, but most people aren't that skilled

typical enterprise tool would be informatica

I've explicitly stated that we are focused on the hate speech and only the hate speech. I don't care what political affiliation you have. I only care if you're spreading hate speech.

We want to draw attention to the instance itself and that's one of the only places we can do so in people's feeds. I do a decent amount of graphic design and know far too much about visual theory (also a neurobiologist), I disagree that the color choice is wrong outside the scope of violating another licence.

Probably most people interacting in our space are doing so through this method. It's something we have always paid attention to. In the long, long run we will likely have to do something about it.

Practically speaking we will likely have less tolerance for users like this who misbehave and we may have less discussions with them and simply ban and remove their content quicker.

We're explicitly a safe space for minorities. I'm non-binary myself. But you don't have to participate here if you don't want to.

San Francisco. It's not segregated and trans people don't have to live there, it's just a recognition and celebration of trans people. They have a bunch of local government officials who do trans stuff like educationals, put on trans artists, work on improving healthcare and other issues for trans people, etc.

I live in the only city in the world with an official transgender district, so I'm sitting in a place of extreme privilege. I've been pushing on my organization to do better- I've increased access to transgender healthcare for our employees and their children. I've hired out of state queers to come give talks so I can help financially support where I can. I'm even giving talks about diversity and equity now. I support local queers by going to their establishments and seeking out queer and trans artists to support wherever I can. I offer up my knowledge when I can through a variety of trans communities I participate in. I wish I could do more, but I'm happy doing what I can.
