I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.

There are definitely trans kids getting surgeries, it’s just in the hundreds value rather than thousands. 238 in 2019, 256 in 2020, and 282 in 2021 had top surgery.

Between 2000 and 2005, 72% of gender confirmation surgeries were bottom surgeries; from 2006 to 2011, that number increased to 84%. And the number of patients insured by Medicare or Medicaid seeking these procedures increased threefold between 2012-2013 and 2014.

The stats exist, people just don’t care enough to look for them.

Beehaw recently defed with lemmy.world, it’s the second largest lemmy.

Complain about being downvoted for a normal comment? Guess what, more downvotes. Reddit was toxic.

I hope they don’t do this, I’ll have to jump ship again. Downvotes are useful for seeing how a comment is actually being received. Say something that sounds true but isn’t? You can see the downvotes, without it you only see the upvotes and upvote the person thinking it is the truth. This happened on youtube, you can’t tell which videos are actually giving you the right knowledge for say a technical problem, all the bad tutorials just seem to be upvoted. I’ve also seen highly upvoted comments on reddit that were completely full of shit, you can’t see how many people downvoted.
