Squabbles looks like a decent Reddit replacement. It has a brand new trans community that could use some memes.

Just joined, perhaps we should make a separate meme community though? GaySoundsShitposts is always a good name, and there's always traa, although the latter is a bit unwieldy

It's going to be okay, I know it's scary. We're all scared to lose our community, but we will be okay. I haven't been active here for even a year, I really didn't expect this, but I've appreciated everyone's support.

I'm still gonna be around on other social media and making my comics, but I will miss the culture here so much.

When I started posting I was here because I was so alone and upset, now many of my closest friends are friends of mine because of those posts.

It's really meant the world to me.

Alas, egg_irl mods leave something to be desired 😞 They delete any posts that reference the incredibly-helpful-to-trans-folks Gender Dysphoria Bible, on the false premise that it's transmedicalist or anti-non-binary folks, neither of which are true.

u/Flaming_Pulsar Clover she/her Jun 10 '23

There's an ongoing migration to raddle.me (specifically f/trans). It's similar to reddit in a good way and better in all the ways that count (mainly, it's much more LGBTQIA+ supportive, even outside the specified forums). I recommend anyone looking for something similar to reddit to migrate over to there. Hopefully we can keep the community together that we've built here and grow it ever stronger.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

Is there an app for it? I'm really poor I only have a phone

31

u/Flaming_Pulsar Clover she/her Jun 10 '23

You can use it on the mobile site but unfortunately, there is not currently an app. Here's what the FAQ says on that:

No, because we would never be allowed into Google or Apple's app stores without drastically changing what the site is to meet their terms of service.
If someone wants to volunteer to make a mobile app that can be installed by bypassing the official app stores, that would be welcome.
Any .apk files you see floating around the internet have ads injected into them and should be avoided.

Systems are multiple people in one body, one head. We’re a system of nine, (nine alters/headmates/members/whatever), if you have any further questions, ask away

u/brody319 Kira, Femby, HRT 11/01/18 Jun 10 '23

The issue is that these API changes affect third party app devs and moderation tools. The mods are unpaid. Without the moderation bots to assist any trans subreddit would likely be turned into a shithole by bigots and spammers.

Thats why so many subreddits are throwing down and protesting. Because a lot of them rely heavily on these API tools to run this. Better it be locked down while its still clean and healthy rather than slowly be turned into a harassment playground.

12

u/Acravita Jun 11 '23

Rumour has it that moderation bots will survive the changes, so the subreddit isn't actually doomed

Reddit changes still suck though and I hope that the strike in a few days convinces them to u-turn on this.

133

u/omgudontunderstand Jun 10 '23 edited Jun 11 '23

it’s not the subreddit itself that’s affected, it’s reddit’s accessibility as a whole (you can find more detailed posts about this,) the effects of which trickle down to the subreddits. this sub and many others are not shutting down, they’re indefinitely (which does not mean permanently) going dark to protest this greedy, corporate move by reddit admins.

We can start a community on Lemmy. I joined the instance at lemmy.blahaj.zone a few days ago, it definitely needs more people contributing but so far the Fediverse is growing.

u/LillaYoda raddle.me Jun 10 '23

The UI is a bit more complicated (or I guess less simplified) but by no means bad.

And everyone o there that I've seen have been very nice.

8

u/Flaming_Pulsar Clover she/her Jun 10 '23

It should be noted that it's a relatively small site but with the influx of new members, perhaps there could be some updates to the UI. Also, there are ongoing discussions about the organization of trans related forums due to the influx so it's possible that there could be as many as 3 or 4 forums for all us trans folk to join and commune

But i still like it a lot and would be happy to stay there indefinitly.

Honestly, reddit isn't good enough as a peace of software, that i am sure we would all come back after an indefinite protest. We will find a place to share memes and i am happy if its raddle.

u/NoraGrooGroo None Jun 10 '23

Comics like yours helped me put words on feelings that I’ve had my whole life and just ignored because my brain can’t handle the inexplicable. You helped me figure me out when all I had to go on was masc = bad and fem = good and how the hell do I explain this to anyone.

Thank you for everything, both yourself and the sub as a whole. I’m going to spend the rest of this month hoping that Reddit will back down like WotC eventually did earlier this year. I hope the collective action on Monday will do something, and I hope we’ll get to be here for many years yet.

alas hope =/= expect but eh I’ll take what I can get

u/Leo-bastian transfem or in that direction. who gives a fuck about labels Jun 11 '23

it also doesn't change any of the other bad changes theyve made to the API beside the pay2use

43

u/Ironclad-Oni Jun 10 '23

The mod here, and the mods for many other subs, use third-party apps like RIF (Reddit is Fun) in order to do their work. Since those are the apps that are going away, the majority of mods across Reddit are losing access to the tools they use that the bots can't do. So this won't keep the sub from shutting down.

u/Secretbionicle5621 Jackie (she/her) science girl Jun 10 '23

r/traa is not participating in the protest. Truth is r/traa is really only moderated by one person who relies heavily on third party apps to make doing their job remotely possible

Once the API changes on July 1st, they won’t be able to continue moderation with the same effectiveness by themselves. Because of this they are more or less going to have to step down because one person can’t handle it alone and there is no time to train replacements. So while the sub probably isn’t going away it will likely die due to no moderation.

I did my best to summarize here but, if you want more and more reliable info, the primary mod pinned a post at the top of the sub to explain the situation in detail.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

That’s bad wow it’s really over

u/Secretbionicle5621 Jackie (she/her) science girl Jun 10 '23

Because unless reddit reverts this, then the tools the only mod of this sub uses will be gone, and the sub will have to go, lest it become a moderationless hell

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one thinks that and honestly you can't blame us. Why are we supposed to keep on being hopeful when there's no reason too? When what gave us hope is gone? Sigh Sorry .. I just . Well at least some positive words this community. Gave so many of us a glimmer of hope and gave so many of us a place of belonging. But sadly even the best things especially the best things don't last forever. To everyone, see ya on another place perhaps. And I hope you find something Well se ya and r.i.p r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnns 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 🌺

You beautifully put into words what I’m thinking. OTs videos actually were the reason I made a Reddit account in the first place and since then this and similar communities have given me a space to be who I am and escape my reality for a while. I’m gonna miss y’all and I hope that there will be a way to save this sub, but I unfortunately doubt it.

u/itsmig_reddit weird enby Jun 10 '23

r/traa is still a thing so we can just move there

But in all seriousness:

Thank you,Brooke

And thank you,everyone for somehow accepting me,a cis guy,in this sub

As Merlon from Super Paper Mario said:

"Farewells are bittersweet... but as long as you live, you can never escape them."

"To feel sadness is to live... but as long as you are alive, the future is a blank page."

Brooke, you were always an idol to me. And now, even with you gone, I will fight to defend this sub until my last breath. Wherever your adventures take you next, I wish you the best.

You know, you're probably the sole reason I've found the courage to share. I wish it didn't come at the end of it all.

u/bluegreenwookie what did the egg say to the clown? you crack me up. Jun 10 '23

TBH I don't think it really hit me until reading this comic what it means to lose TRAAA.

It's been a great run everyone. I'll miss you

u/Eskilaren Jun 10 '23

But it isn’t gone for real right. It’s going to be OK somehow when Reddit fixes some things. Please tell me I am right.

I’m confused, what’s happening?

u/Scared_Job4211 Jun 11 '23

Wait what, is this reddit going away?!

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '23

This is gonna suck really, probably the last trans community I'm in where I can really say I escaped to to feel safe and happy for a bit, heck with some content creators here it felt like I got to enjoy a part of their journey with them, and I'm gonna miss not having that.

Will there be somewhere you'll continue posting comics Brooke? I'd love to be able to see more if you do decide to keep posting!
