I agree, but it's also not surprising. I think somebody else posted the article about kenyan Facebook moderators in this comment section somewhere if you want to know more

Interesting fact: many bigger Lemmy instances are already using AI systems to filter out dangerous content in pictures before they even get uploaded.

Context: Last year there was a big spam attack of CSAM and gore on multiple instances. Some had to shut down temporarily because they couldn't keep up with moderation. I don't remember the name of the tool, but some people made a program that uses AI to try and recognize these types of images and filter them out. This heavily reduced the amount of moderation needed during these attacks.

Early AI moderation systems are actually something more platforms should use. Human moderators, even paid ones, shouldn't need to go though large amounts of violent content every day. Moderators at Facebook have been arguing these points for a while now, many of which have gotten mental issues though their work and don't get any medical support. So no matter what you think of AI and if it's moral, this is actually one of the few good applications in my opinion

Also, 1024 characters assumes you are just using ASCII, which has a bunch of control codes and characters of other languages you won't use. If you trim these and remove uppercase letters you could probably make your own custom letter set that fits 2 characters in a byte, doubling your information to make it 2048 chars

First of all, gender expression and being trans is a vast field. While there are a bunch of labels one can use and that fit for many, this doesn't cover everybody and their experiences.

Second, there are many forms of dysphoria, not all have to do with being uncomfortable in your body.

With understanding this and only having your description from this post, there are signs of both of this (at least some I interpreted that way while reading). As far as my understanding of the demi label goes, one only feels like that gender in certain situations or at certain times. If that is "on the internet" for you, then it isn't far fetched. While you feel comfortable as a woman, you also said you'd desire male genitalia, which even without any pain from it is still dysphoria. If you want to be perceived as male sometimes or just online, that's a form of dysphoria too.

I'd recommend to you to do some soul-searching and introspection to find an answer for yourself. It doesn't sound like you're trans-masc, but maybe demiboy, genderfluid or non-binary would fit you? Nobody can answer that for you though and it is fine for you to be something that doesn't have a label.

Now I would say it's kind of inappropriate to call yourself trans-masc online if you don't consider yourself that. It might be seen as appropriating an identity or pain you don't actually have. Many trans people suffer from their dysphoria and taking that label just for the optics is maybe not that nice (similar to how people pretending to be another race isn't a good thing). Connecting this to my previous point: many trans people do start out pretending to be another gender online to experiment. If it feels comfortable to you, maybe you should think about that a bit

Yes, but these are probably also an extend/criminal law implementation of this constitutional law. Also you would still break the law, even if you couldn't get punished for it. Something you don't want to host on german servers.

To contextualize my original comment a bit more and explain how these things work over here: you can already get sued for just insulting somebody. I remember a case a few years ago where somebody called a right wing politician a "Hurensohn" (son of a whore) and got his house raided by police. Getting sued (especially by politicians) for insults isn't unlikely in germany. The platform hosting that content can also get in trouble for it. OP apparently talked about a politician, who could try and sue in Germany. Since OP is probably not from there, the server owners will get in trouble instead. All that to say: this form of moderation is legally necessary in Germany. You can dislike this and I agree with you, but it's not something that's going to change. It doesn't mean that the mods are supporting fascism, as so many are seemingly claiming. Feddit.org is a rather left instance (in Germany we'd say "linksgrün versifft") and they are definitely not trying to shield nazis, they just try to follow the local law to prevent getting sued

Try to get to know her. Ask follow up questions to show you're actually listening. Tell her you are interested in another date afterwards. Stuff like that, even if it sounds generic

I did. That's the first article of the Grundgesetz (Basic Law) of Germany

Not that directly, but saying they have "zero worth" might be against GG Article 1

Human dignity is inviolable

Pretty sure dehumanizing can be prosecuted under this, even if its rather tame. Also there have been some laws over the last few years that criminalize violent speech on the internet and that give people the ability to report comments directly to agencies. These might make it quite dangerous for the instance to keep up these comments.

I assure you, German leftist often say way more intense stuff on a daily basis, but not on publicly hosted servers

I feel like flirting isn't really something people do while dating nowadays. I (and probably some other women) find it more annoying if you wanna get to know the other person. Most flirting I like is after you're already in a relationship, because you can be sure that the other person is safe and not a creep. Of course you still need to find a way to show interest

feddit.org is a German hosted instance that has to abide by the German law. By that law, your comment falls into a grey-zone of legality. As much as I agree with you, they were right in removing your comment, as they are legally obligated to. They could get into trouble if they don't.

To quote the feddit.org sidebar:

Content that is illegal in Germany, Austria or Switzerland will be deleted and can lead to an immediate ban of the account.

It isn't. There was a story a few weeks ago of one getting pulled off the streets of england because it was missing required papers for imported cars. I'm rather sure it won't be able to get those papers because it's not considered road safe in europe. Let's go safety regulations and customer protections!

Don't these have such a high rebound rate that it is almost assured to happen? But sure! Let's put a million people on medication that they cannot stop taking.

This seems like some kind of advertising campaign for Ozempic and the likes. They are the only ones that will profit from that
