I've been using a 3rd party client to access posts on Lemmy. I loved the experience back when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps. But I felt the feed was a bit........one sided.

I figured it was just because I was new to Lemmy, but then I sorted posts by New.

Nothing but trans anime porn. It's like the only people that came to Lemmy were the people that got kicked out of Reddit circles because all they could think about was trans anime porn.

Maybe I signed up on the wrong instance? But I don't think that's the problem.

How are so many people trying to treat Lemmy as a balanced alternative to Reddit?

What the fuck?!

Yeah, unless you're talking about transmissions pulled out and leaking fluid allll over the pavement like a dirty, dirty power transfer whore, tranny isn't an ideal word choice nowadays. Which, if you're using some of that sexy, slippery fluid to pleasure yourself while flipping through c/hotmopartrannies, carry on.

It was never exactly a good word to use, though it wasn't as widely known that it was predominantly used in a derogatory manner back in the eighties and early nineties when it got more common in usage.

But nowadays, the only people that use it regularly are bigots, so if you aren't one, and you use it, chances are that people will assume the worst, what with the worst often being the case.

But, you know, if you've got any pics of a Muncie m20 just sitting around, you know, maybe don't Bogart that shit
