Whatever you do, do not use Soapbox for your #fediverse needs.
The creator and maintainer, Alex Gleason, of Soapbox (or Rebased as it was called) is anti-trans and was previously the head of engineering of the Trump-related social network (Truth Social).
He also worked on Poast, which was a social network for neo-nazis and a direct successor to Kiwi Farms.
Steer clear of it.

Truth Social Closely Linked To Far-Right Platform Poast
'It's using the front end built directly on Poast.' Truth Social has close link to far-right platform Poast.Claire Goforth (The Daily Dot)
Note to whoever boosted this Christofascist's introduction where he said he was banned for his opinion without saying what his opinion was:
You MUST ask what the bannable opinion was!!!
Anyway heads up to other mods: I bet Mastodon.Online will ban him soon, so keep an eye out.

Gender-affirming care—for ADULTS—is now predictably under attack in #Texas. This is part of a Republican plan of genocide underway against #trans people. We need cis allies to be loud and angry on our behalf. Pay attention, this doesn't end here or with us:

Trans Texans’ access to transition-related care threatened by Senate bill
The Senate advanced a bill that could create such high financial risks for doctors and health insurers that they’d stop providing or covering gender-affirming care — even for adults.Alex Nguyen (The Texas Tribune)
Ag Dept employees received an unwelcome surprise in a new dress code issued last week that seems aimed at oppressing #transgender and #nonbinary workers, reports Digital Editor Kit @oconnell based on a document leaked to us:

Anon: howdy, i saw your comment here https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/discussions/284#discussioncomment-3621242 about "recent events". i was wondering, did something happen in the hyprland project?

Oro: Yeah, in the Discord, specifically. "vaxry" and "fufexan” are pretty bigoted, and I'd rather not associate myself with them.
For some context, I changed my Discord username to include my pronouns, similar to Matrix, since Matrix doesn't have a system for "About Me"s yet. It also helps to weed out the assholes, so | was pretty successful at that, it seems.
Here's the end result: [see next image]

Anon: that's disappointing to hear. i read through a few of the past issues and was getting pretty big asshole vibes from vaxry at least, which was already making me skeptical of maintaining the package myself in fedora. part of the job of being a packager is working with the upstream developers, so naturally i try to keep an eye out for hostile or toxic upstreams. thanks for the extra background.
i'm not super familiar with discord, is that screenshot showing that they changed your display name pronouns to "who/cares” after you had set it to "they/them/she/her" or something?
--
Oro: Correct. It was the same as my current Matrix one, and then they decided to change the nickname, and lock it so I couldn't change it back with that "no” role.

Anon: that's so pointless, petty, and antagonistic.](https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/109/587/537/278/174/868/original/a02dc0a5769d20ae.png "Transcript:
