It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

the fact they think so many trans people are out and about fascists is fucking wild. plus they talk about blahaj being ran by trans people, which is true, but also ignore that the trans community on lemmy is largely here, and for very obvious reasons
10% trans users on lemmygrad + 30% from hexbear, assuming we have no crossover (and I don't think we have much) means 40% of our combined user base is trans (or 20 idk), WAY above world averages and way above what most instances can boast.
Compared to the lemmyverse as a whole however I'm not sure of the proportion our two instances represent, we'd have to look at active users on all relevant websites
Still waiting for blahaj to finally run a demos survey btw.
… that’s not how percentages work
lemmygrad seems to be trans-friendly, and hexbear certainly is, but you can’t just add percentages together to get the total percentage
Um if it's not how they work, then how come I just did it?
Math is the thirteenth type of liberalism
Two imaginary groups, one with 100 people and one with 1000. The group with 100 has 50 trans people (50%). The group with 1000 people has 500 trans people (also 50%). By your method, they would be 100% trans in total. In reality, the total would be that 550 out of 1100 are trans, again 50%.
Second round: one group is 50/100 (50%) trans and the other is 50/1000 (5%) trans. Does that mean they are 55% trans cumulatively? No, they are 9.091% trans.
idk the numbers for our instances but I imagine that it's around 25%.
I like his method more.
We can finally complete the gay agenda by adding together groups of 100% trans people until we achieve a 100,000% group, then adding that group to the rest of humanity.
10% x 40% = 400% trans lemmyverse. Deal with it.
Just jumping in to confirm for passersby that Lemmygrad is very much trans-friendly.
Cannot help with the math.
🤓 um, ackshually, it would be 20%, because sample percentages are averaged into each other when added, not counting for the actual numerical difference between the instances' userbases
cursed with being a data science major
there there. It's okay. We can probably find some memes stupid enough to cure you of maths.
You didn't weight your averages! Such a lightweight. 🤓
I acknowledged it because I didn’t want to check
Uhh I'm a dummy but wouldn't it be under 30% with the exact number depending on exact userbase sizes of 'grad and 'bear?
