Basing the rules of your sports on the feelings and biases of spectators sounds wild.

and is open for abuse, if most spectators want to disqualify a person because they don't like them, they would be able to.

We can't set a limit on testosterone levels, because then biological women like Caster Semenya, who naturally has high testosterone, are forced to take T blockers (This actually happened to her)

And wouldn't that allow women to dope up until an acceptable level?

Where do you draw the line?

Jeeeze relax, Read the about of the sub.

This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!

I'm trying to have a conversation, after all the insults I'm done talking to you.

How is that productive? I'm open to having my mind changed and would like to have a conversation about this. Calling someone a bigot does nothing to change their mind and is against the rules of c/controversial

What about eg. Anne Andres setting multiple national and world power lifting records?

What testosterone level you were at during puberty has a big impact on the size of your bones. So it's not that simple.

People who had high testosterone during puberty have much bigger hands than people who didn't, hand size has a impact on sports.

Let's use combat sports, how would you measure "approximate physical ability" ?

If you just go by weight and don't split the genders, biological women won't stand a chance.

Thanks, I will give it a watch I enjoy his content. I have a controversial opinion but I'm open to have my mind changed.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How do you even begin to measure that?

Hight, bone density, muscle weight etc plays such a massive role.

 

This scoring system evaluates how decentralized and self-hostable a platform is, based on four core metrics.

📊 Scoring Metrics (Total: 100 Points)

Metric Weight Description
Top Provider User Share 30 Measures how many users are on the largest instance. Full points if <20%; 0 if >80%.
Top Provider Content Share 30 Measures how much content is hosted by the largest instance. Full points if <20%; 0 if >80%.
Ease of Self-Hosting: Server 20 Technical ease of running your own backend. Full points for simple setup with good docs.
Ease of Self-Hosting: User Interface 20 Availability and usability of clients. Full points for accessible, FOSS, multi-platform clients.

How Scores are Calculated

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 How User/Content Share Scores Work

This measures how many users are on the largest provider (or instance).

  • No provider > 20%: If no provider has more than 20%, it gets full 30 points.
  • Between 20% and 80%: Anything in between is scored on a linear scale.
  • > 80%: If a provider has more than 80%, it gets 0 points.

📊 Formula:

Score = 30 × (1 - (TopProviderShare - 20) / 60)
…but only if TopProviderShare is between 20% and 80%.
If below 20%, full 30. If above 80%, zero.

📌 Example:

If one provider has 40% of all users:
Score = 30 × (1 - (40 - 20) / 60) = 30 × (1 - 0.43) = 17.1 points

🖥️ How Ease of Self-Hosting Scores Work

These scores measure how easy it is for individuals or communities to run their own servers or use clients.

This looks at how technically easy it is to run your own backend (e.g., email server, Mastodon server) or User Interface (e.g., web-interface or mobile-app)

  • Very Easy: One-command or setup wizard, great documentation → 18–20 points
  • Moderate: Docker or manual setup, some config, active community support → 13–17 points
  • Hard: Complex setup, needs regular updates or custom config, poor documentation → 6–12 points
  • Very Hard or Proprietary: Little to no self-hosting support, undocumented → 0–5 points

I'm new to selfhosting, I've installed Turnkey nextcloud on my proxmox server, and done the basic setup, now I'm faced with this.

Any advice?

 

If I'm viewing eg. This post: https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/57383020

And I click share, then this is the link I get https://lemmy.kde.social/post/3025106 or https://lemm.ee/post/57383020

It would be better to get a Photon link (https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/57383020), that keeps the UI the same and gives a smoother experience.

If I share the other links with my friends, they don't see the Photon UI
