Is that why women suffer from osteoporosis more than men? Testosterone makes bones stronger?

TIL, thanks!

We don’t have a word for schadenfreude in English, but trust me, we still experience it.

You had me up to:

And to everyone’s information: I am for Germany and we do not have two words for sex and gender. I don’t understand what you English speakers are up to.

I don’t understand what you mean here? I’m sure biological sex and gender identity are considered separate ideas even in languages without a specific word for them. To my mind a lot of transphobia comes from people not understanding there’s a difference between sex and gender.

As for the XXY, I’m OP and that’s my mistake. I misremembered my biology lessons and thought a second X chromosome made someone biological female, rather than the presence of an Y chromosome making someone male. I replied to someone else explaining my mistake.

(I’m OP but posting from another instance as lemmy.world seems to be having issues again)

Ooh my community is there! Hopefully new growth means I won’t be the only contributor for much longer!

Awkward the turtle? I didn’t realised they’d actually joined lemmy. They can fuck right off.

I read another post today that said lemmy.world has stopped growing and other instances are catching up, which is good for everyone.

That sounds like a good compromise. Is there a way to message all inactive accounts and asking them to complete a captcha before a certain date, or the accounts will be deleted?

I’d like to wait a month or so and let everything settle before I decide which instance I make my main account. There’s so much going on at the moment the admins, hosts, mods and developers/programmers deservedly need a minute to get on top of everything. I’d like to retain my inactive accounts until then, especially as we’re talking about what these inactive accounts might do in the future, not an army of malicious bots attacking now.

This is brilliant, but I think you might be over looking something here. I’m part of the reddit migration and a like a lot of new users I didn’t know what I was doing or really understand instances when I joined. So I ended up signing up on a few different instances before I understood. 3 of my accounts are inactive, but I don’t want to delete them necessarily - having alt accounts makes sense.

Lemmy.world is my main account, but it was completely overwhelmed for a couple a days at the start of the migration and was pretty much unusable. Some instances have already defederated from other instances, or are debating doing so in future. And then there was the hack that rendered a bunch of instances unusable. Not to mention I might want a separate porn account, professional account etc… I wouldn’t be surprised if there were double the number of genuine (but inactive) accounts created 3 weeks ago as there were new sign ups.

From your numbers the bot accounts still far outnumber the genuine accounts, even if every new user made 4 like me. But I’d be concerned about genuine inactive accounts being chucked out with the bots. Although maybe that’s better than the alternative?
