  • I already mentioned that there are edge cases. Edge cases do not discredit foundational frameworks that define reality.

    But when you are trying to define or classify things it is the edge cases that are key. It is at the edges that we hope to find a clear divide between one set of things and another.

    Unfortunately, with sex chromosomes, their impact on development and that effect on performance it feels like the more we know the less we understand.

    International sporting bodies have huge resources and access to the best experts in the various fields and they can't come up with a good way to classify male and female. I could, at least, see the logic in their going for testosterone exposure during puberty as being a useful guide, although it is complex and rather arbitrary, but there are counter-arguments to that which suggest it isn't useful. So the sporting bodies seem to be falling back on chromosome testing, which is no guide at all to performance and seems to be favoured because it is easy to test for - like the drunk looking for his keys under a lamppost because the light was better there.

  • What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy?

  • Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.

  • Federated wiki software?

  • Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).

  • You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.

  • You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

  • Although, looking around, this channel has a "support" button with PayPal and Patreon links. It's a little crude but works.

    For ease of use, it probably has to be a bit slicker and "one-click" but it's a start.
