@[email protected] are you part of or in contact with the mods of transdiy? Or is this an independent lifeboat operation?

If the subreddit does actually get taken down it would be very easy for me to spread word around via some of the uk subreddits that have leftists. The main subreddits are a problem but the location based UK subs and some of the minor side subreddits have good relations or crossover mods with the greenandpleasant team.

Mentioning this because I know how that diy sub has tonnes of UK users.

The surgery subreddit was mega important to me whenever I was going through bottom surgery all that time ago. I never had to go through with DIY so I can’t speak to that. They are both huge resources that there should definitely be an attempt to recreate here. These are importantly resources that definitely should be saved. I’d also be willing to mod surgeries, but not DIY as I have no idea.

I also believe they should both be separate comms for the reason that it’d keep the information together and easily accessible. That’s important for googling information imo.

I think for DIY, a well maintained wiki would be the best option. People can ask for DIY help in the comm, but the wiki should be pinned in every trans comm imo, and we should try to update it regularly as new information becomes available.

This seems redundant with traa and transenby_liberation

i’m new here, but coming from the subreddit. i’d be very down to mod transdiy. i can’t be super hands on but diy is my autistic special interest and id love to help build the wiki and try to keep the whole thing exceptionally high quality.

edit: someone really needs to pull the trigger on this, either here or elsewhere. it’s unfortunate the mods on reddit aren’t participating, but they already have enough on their plates. these communities have to get built now so they’re ready when we need them.

side note, wondering about the stability of hexbear or the blahja lemmy server. there was a small diy community in kbin i believe but it appears kbin is not a thing anymore. —- we’d want to build a community in a place where we can be confident about the stability of the servers.

Sorry for the intrusion, is there a good reference for diy? I do know my trans friends are doing diy in some instances but if someone asks for help, is there a place I can direct them?

I am wholely ignorant, but I am apprehensive to the idea that we'd be giving medical advice to one another. It seems like an avenue in which someone could get hurt. Is there some way to avoid that in a DIY comm?

Go for it!

Basic rules for transgender surgeries comm: Posts must be posted on a fresh account, identifying information such as tattoos and face must be blurred or pixelated.

This seems very prudent. Should there be an exception to the blurring rule for people posting FFS pictures?

If there’s ever a tg surgery comm I’d be down to mod

trans surgeries being a separate comm makes sense, but would DIY need to be its own comm? /c/transenby_liberation is pretty dead these days because of /c/traa and the mega, maybe DIY could be folded into that to revitalize it and then put a link to DIY resources in the sidebar of every trans comm?

Another thing is that transgender surgeries might be best served by transbucket. We could just backup reddit content and make a DIY comm
