Good luck with banning either. Sounds like it'd be a popular policy.

Could instances not basically do that here too though?
Does karma actually effect your account on reddit?
That's an interesting new definition of 'useful' you have.
You think if you told people they all had to get rid of their grass lawns heaps of them wouldn't just replace them with a load of concrete if they didn't want the maintenance? Enough people do it already without being forced to by a ban.
Claiming it's "not actually useful" though is just wrong.
It can be useful. It's a great surface for doing any form of outdoor exercise on.
So you'd rather concrete jungle over lawns? I feel like if you banned grass lawns that's what you'd get.
The more users the more content there is though which is ultimately what I want as a user.
This is even more important for more niche communities a lot of which are still very quiet/dead/non-existent on Lemmy relative to reddit.
You can't think of any circumstances where a man claiming to be a woman to enter what is generally a space reserved for the opposite gender with malicious intent wouldn't be concerning?
Surely basically any changing room or bathroom in the country meets this criteria?
I don't know how unpopular an opinion it is, but surely anyone just deciding to self ID as a different gender opens huge safeguarding concerns?
I'm all for the process being easy for them to work through, but literally just doing it yourself seems excessively easy and abusable.
This is probably the main thing that's stopped me ever getting back into the game. I get the reasons they've given for it, I just think it's a stupid decision.
