HUH. I don't think I've ever seen a site with a warning like this. That's well-considered and quite kind. (From lobste.rs)
@misty wild to me that they're thinking that far ahead but apparently not far ahead enough to have username changes?
@iliana It does have username changes, but those generate modlog entries for audit purposes. I think this is intended to allow people to switch to a new username without connecting it to the old one at all.
@misty ah okay. huh
@misty oh, this is nicely considered
@bcj Even among sites that've thought about this, I really don't expect to see messaging for trans users up front like this!
@misty the density of nuclear waste seems WAY lower on lobsters than the orange news website. have been considering an RSS setup with them
