Me normally: Freedom of expression is important. Not all media has to be ideologically pure or reflective of reality
Me after seeing all the weird ridiculous things porn makes men believe: burn it all, burn it all!
We ended up choosing blahaj. Come join us at !badwomensanatomy@lemmy.blahaj.zone. We'd love to see you :)
The vote succeeded for lemmy, come join us at /c/badwomensanatomy!
Any kind? Just the tok'ra? Just the goa'uld? To save yourself from death, or out of genuine interest?

Thanks Ada for your response and your willingness to welcome us in. I'll confer with the team and see if we can achieve consensus.
We've discussed this possibility a little bit. All I can say is we're going to do our best to read the room and do what's best for the community. We'll probably have more discussions internally before we make the final call.
edit: I think the big issue is there isn't a lot of role models for this kind of migration. It's been a clusterfuck for everyone from start to finish. I don't think any of the other mod teams expected the protest to fail this bad.
That's equally true. I guess the main apprehension is that it'll confuse a lot of people who's first experience with lemmy is "register on this other site, then put the first site into the search bar so you can sub". Ultimately we just want to ensure it's not a shitshow.
This is certainly true, and I'm aware of this. But our community isn't tight nit and passionate as others - we fear that if we go somewhere with closed registration, very few people will make the jump.
Hi, I'm u/MayaFey_ from reddit, I am on the mod team of /r/badwomensanatomy.
We were part of the failed protest, and frankly we're done with spez. We're leaving. We have a poll on our subreddit to choose between lemmy, discord, and raddle, and lemmy is winning by a large margin so far.
So if lemmy wins, the question will present itself... which instance will we move to? As a mod team, we'd prefer an instance with open registration to lower friction for our reddit members making the transition. And we're also looking for a place that is not accepting of misogyny or violence against women. This is me sending out feelers to figure out which instances would be a best fit and most accepting of our community.
Some details about us:
Badwomensanatomy is a community about... bad women's anatomy. Users will reproduce images they found elsewhere (like, a snip of a facebook post, or something from a poorly drawn manga, for example) that state incorrect ideas about anatomy or incorrect depictions of anatomy. Sometimes these posts can be NSFW, or misogynistic, but the idea behind the community is we call these things out and discuss the ways they are ill-conceived and what the correct anatomy is.
Our sub is very pro-queer and pro-trans, and not tolerant of terfs at all. Though it doesn't specifically relate to queerness or transness, so I'm not sure how good of a fit it will be.
So far, about 40 users have responded to our poll and it's been 5 hours. Our sub has over 500k subs, but being realistic, only a few dozen or a hundred at most will make the jump. That said, that's still a lot of users given how small lemmy is at this time.
If you're receptive to this migration, and the poll confirms the community's choice to go to lemmy, we can create a community here and start migrating. As a representative of the mod team, I am willing to chip in to the running costs of this instance to compensate for the increase burden.
Let me know what you think.
CS passing was dark news for all of us. He really put his heart into the Ba'al character, and we were blessed to have him.
The Russians are beyond parody. They like comparing themselves to America a lot, but at least when America demilitarizes someone, they actually follow through.
Honestly, the show creators should be ashamed with how they underutilized the Tok'ra. They were given no cultural depth whatsoever. The show alluded to things like "How have the Tok'ra, with all their technology, been fighting the goa'uld for thousands of years and made no progress, but 10 four-man teams under a mountain can do it in their spare time in a few years?" but never actually made any effort to answer them. "We have a plan" became sort of a running joke - the steiner's counterattack of the Tok'ra.
Eventually they had to pivot to intentionally portraying the Tok'ra as arrogant, incompetent assholes because they failed to portray them any other way.
They had so much opportunity to delve into things like the ethics and practical effects of only accepting hosts who essentially have to sign on to dedicating their life to being a member of the alien taliban, or how relationships work, or why the Tok'ra never had any harcesis children, or how they handle the effects of constant host replenishment on their reigning political ideology, or the differences between born-tok'ra and goa'uld converts, or how they envisioned society being after the fall of the empire, or 100 other things.
The tok'ra were wasted (along with the goa'uld to be honest) and it drives me up the wall.
if losing 3rd party apps ruins your experience just find another app/website
OK
I love my snakes, both goa'uld and Tok'ra. What are ya'll's favorites? I would have to say mine is Nirrti.
