I tried a weird strategy on Lemmy and so far it seems to works.
There were 2-3 dudes systematically downvoting everything I post.
So what I did was artificially create myself a fan base consisting of just others accounts of me and upvoting everything. So with all those "fake" accounts and the few people following me for real, the post stay positive even with some moronic downvoters.
However, when posts already have 4-5 upvotes, the downvoters are surprisingly not present.
So my guess is they just want to demoralize newcomers by quickly making their post negatives. As soon as you gain a real audience, they move away, proving the fact they are assholes.

The following is a message composed via consensus of the pony.social Admin Team.
For those who are not currently aware of our existence, we represent the organization known as pony.social. Our previous mission centered around providing a gay and friendly place on the fediverse. This mission was the focus of our organization for almost a decade.
Due to circumstances outside of our control, this directive has now changed. Our new mission will be to piss on the sun because FUCK IT'S TOO WARM AAAAAAAA.
There will be no further communication.

Pissing on it will have no effect because it doesn't work via combustion.
What you need to do is drop Jupiter on it. The un-ionized hydrogen will spread over the surface and for 200 years the output of the sun will go towards ionizing the gas rather than heating the objects in the surrounding space, such as earth.
This may have an adverse effect on agriculture.

The non-Dutch mind cannot comprehend: the “car is the guest”-street.
Cars are tolerated in these streets, but should drive slowly and patiently behind cyclists.
It’s great.

Now that I've slept on what I've made and decided I'm happy enough with it after a very minor color tweak, I've got something to present for Pride Month!
I've made another custom-for-me pride flag just for funsies, compositing a variation of the the eldritchine gender flag that I found some months back (<mogai.miraheze.org/wiki/Eldrit…>), latex fetish pride colors & bands, and the otherkin great heptagram, in a gloriously eldritchian creation whose geometry was *annoying* to figure out!
The image features a person in a suit and tie, with a blurred face, making a hand gesture with their right hand raised, fingers forming an "OK" sign. The background includes a blurred emblem with blue and yellow colors, suggesting an official setting. The text overlay reads: "PLEASE BE PATIENT... ...I'M FUCKING THINGS UP AS FAST AS I CAN!" The text is in bold, white capital letters with a black outline, emphasizing the message. The overall tone of the image is humorous and sarcastic.

Once again reminding people that testis-preserving #vulvoplasty / #vaginoplasty is a real thing that exists. All they do is #tuck them up in the inguinal canal and suture it shut before going to work on everything else.
There is no reason for anyone to undergo an #orchidectomy and then have to be on #testosterone. If you want that, and your surgeon doesn't offer that, find another surgeon.
It's disheartening to run into #transgender / #nonbinary people who have had it and didn't know the options, and I run into so many people who are weighing the drawbacks, I really want this to be common knowledge.
#SRS / #GenderAffirmingCare is for YOU, and you should be comfortable asking for whatever it is you want. These people are very experienced cosmetic and genital surgeons, and they can often do whatever you ask them to do.
can't remember where I first heard it but something like this made a lot of sense to me
"they were taught everything is as ordained by their god. Yet their preachers say we are against their gods wishes. But here we are. This makes them angry. Either their preachers are wrong, or their god is wrong and they've been taught that both aren't possible."

You don't need to use weird spellings or algospeak for any topics on the Fediverse ("unalived", "seggs" etc). There is no automated moderation or algorithm on here, moderation happens entirely through human beings and posts are shown in chronological order.
In fact it's better that you use the correct spellings for difficult topics so that people with genuine traumas related to them can filter them more easily.

It's a really bad idea to use non-standard characters for stylistic reasons, it does affect screen readers significantly.
I think patr€on would sound like "patr" "euro sign" "on".
That's awful. (And really not necessary here, as posts containing the word are not shadowbanned or restricted or anything.)

Never ceases to amaze me how all the people who spend hours hand-wringing over who drew what porn of what kid show cartoon character end up being actual abusers in real life.
Their tantrums start making sense when you realize how hard they're all projecting.
