Yes, that’s definitely it, rather than the multiple lawsuits and claims of plagiarism she has faced over the years.

“Gender assigned at birth” would be more accurate, but way too clunky in a sentence.
Most trans people would say they were never cis.
Bad terminology on my part, I wasn’t sure how else to phrase it!
or zoxide and yazi
She was cis until she started using Nix.

I like to imagine it’s full of maliciously-compliant people trying to bleed Meta dry from the inside.

I would hope most readers here could infer that from the fact I was talking about the NSDAP.
The ban was of course lifted later, but there’s nothing right-wingers love more than being able to say they are a persecuted by a political elite, so the ban was very good for them.

cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for CopsEnglish526·1 month agoPolitical protests are incredibly important to me because they give people a way to express their dissatisfaction and push for change. When I see others out in the streets, organizing and demanding attention to issues that matter, it reminds me of the power we have as individuals to challenge the status quo. Protests help raise awareness about injustices that might otherwise go unnoticed, and they can be a catalyst for real, meaningful change. For me, they represent a critical way to hold governments and institutions accountable and ensure that our voices aren’t drowned out. They remind me that political participation is not just a right, but a responsibility to help shape the society we want to live in.
