  • That’s true! I meant more as an example of a community that because of its nature has to ban more than other communities!

    Also it occurs to me that I have no idea if rimu is looking at instance bans, community bans, or all bans. Instance bans will typically also include community bans which can inflate the numbers if all bans are counted in the data

    Edit: in fact it’s all weird. if you instance ban someone early before they can participate much they technically get very few community bans, whereas if you ban someone who has participated a lot they’ll get lots of community bans as well (when you are instance banned you get banned from all communities you’ve participated in on that instance). an instance that is more trigger happy will have fewer community bans than an instance that is slow to instance ban

    Edit 2: And then there’s temporary bans! I dunno if those have been counted



  • I don’t think this is terribly meaningful. Do you take into account unmoderated communities? Some communities and mods are also more ban happy than others, so one instance can have communities that very rarely ban and ones that ban a lot, and how big those communities are will also vary.

    A more meaningful analysis would try to measure the impact of ban-happy communities by adjusting for their size/activity or would compare individual communities.

    Edit: Some communities or mods also get harassed a lot and therefore need to be more ban happy (like womens stuff), but I don’t think accounting for that would be within the scope of what you’re looking at, but it’s worth being aware of.





  • Much like WPATH and other serious organizations blåhaj firmly supports HRT for minors. All current research suggests that for those that need it it is everything from good to life saving.

    In many cases people cannot safely pursue HRT with the aid of a doctor, or the care that they receive does not follow proper guidelines. We often receive doses that are simply too low or even too high at times when it comes to certain blockers. Given that puberty is permanent and can cause trauma and harm, and given that HRT is life saving, we fully support DIY.

    This is described in the rules in the sidebar.
