I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever.

First off, one must be very careful of generalizing to an entire group from the actions of a small sample [1]. Using the metric of whether there have been trans people who have engaged in mass shootings is quite reductionist, and is a faulty generalization — if I am to interpret what you said to mean that “conservatives” are “against” all trans people because they think that they are all responsible for “shooting up” schools and churches. Second, to address your belief, to my knowledge, there has been at least one instance of a school shooter being trans [2].

Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people?

I think it’s important to establish the validity of the claim, and the assumptions being made, since you cited no sources, nor did you provide any definitions, nor did you specify any assumptions; I will presume that by “conservative”, you are referring to American Republicans.

Why does it seem most people […][are] against Trans people?

It does not appear that “most people” (I assume you mean “the majority of people”) are “against trans people” (I’m not entirely sure exactly what you mean by this, so I will assume it means not being in favor of protecting trans people from discrimination) [1.2][1.1].

Why does it seem […] conservatives […][are] against Trans people?

It does seem that the majority of Republicans are against trans protections [1.1].

ADDENDUM (2024-11-23T06:49Z): Could someone who’s downvoting this please tell me why they are doing so? I’m rather confused about what the rationale could be. I didn’t even state any opinions; I was only fact checking. Was I perhaps too abrasive sounding? I wasn’t intending to be rude.

I know I can post and be the change I seek.

Imo, this is your answer. I’m not sure exactly other solution you want. Content will not appear on Lemmy without someone first posting it. Advertising the platform to help draw people in is also important.

Perhaps it’s a difference in communication experience, and effectiveness? Maybe the person who is already famous has lots of experience with talking to people and conveying information — perhaps they make more efficient use of a small amount of information — whereas the person with a lot of experience on the subject matter, but is poor at communication, is unable to effectively communicate the subject matter. One must be able to retain people’s attention to effectively communicate; this takes skill.

Ah, yeah that seems to be it. I switched to all+hot and I’m now seeing a lot of cats. I wonder what other content I’m missing out on by sorting by “active”? When I sort by “all”, I’m trying to get the posts that are trending the most on Lemmy. Maybe active isn’t the best way to do this? Interestingly, the posts that I see when I sort by “hot” don’t have as many upvotes as those when I sort by “active” so idk.

I enabled logging in the Ntfy app, and, upon receiving a message in Element X, it showed the Matrix notification push message in plain text in the logs. If Ntfy indeed doesn’t know anything about Unified Push and is just the medium through which a Unified Push message travels, then I would think that it wouldn’t be the service decrypting the message, yet it is decrypted in the logs.

So… are you enjoying the cats flooding your feed now?:-D Or if you aren’t seeing them, it must be for some other reason now.

I’m not sure. Maybe the volume of cats has just been exaggerated? Sorting all+active only shows 1 cat in the first 80 posts that I looked at.

I usually alternate between subscribed+scaled, and all+active. In both I see pretty much nothing.

It looks like SJW is fine. See my comment here for more details.

It’s not the only one.

See my comment.

It doesn’t appear to be [1]:

So, in this image, if the application server, the push server, and the distributor app have nothing to do with Unified Push, then where exactly does it come into play? What exactly is it doing? I was of the belief that Unified Push standardized the notification communication protocol with the application server, replacing things like Google Firebase (which, iiuc, is equivalent to the push server in the above diagram, and the distributor app being built into the phone — ie Android). What’s also confusing me in all this is what exactly a push gateway is doing. Ntfy, for example, implemented a Matrix Gateway [1][2], but I’m not exactly sure the point of that if it’s not doing anything with Unified Push (Matrix uses it’s own push API [3])

So, for example, if one were to register Unified Push notifications with Matrix using Ntfy, the creation of the encrypted Unified Push notifications would be done by the Matrix Unified Push Gateway which then gets handed off to Ntfy? Is there a way to confirm that the received notification is indeed encrypted?

Perhaps SJW is having federation issues. Anything related to personal blocks would be extremely unlikely, in my case.

The only cats I gave seen so far in my feed are maybe 3 from !cat@lemmy.world.

Update (2024-11-23T00:44Z): It appears that SJW is fine. See my comment here for more details.

I swear I’ve only seen meta posts talking about all the cats. I haven’t seen a single non-meta cat post.

Update (2024-11-23T01:52Z): It turns out that, to see the cats, one must sort by “Hot” [1]. I was sorting by “All” + “Active”, but, to see the cats, I must sort “All” + “Hot”.

TL;DR: I blame FPTP.

Hm, I’d argue that this is a byproduct of the spoiler effect — I think it’s due to strategic voting. I think that it’s likely not due to people consciously voting against their own interests to benefit the rich (assuming that they indeed do this ­— ie that voting to benefit the rich is against their interests), but instead that the entities that support these sorts of beliefs, also tend to align with other beliefs that are more important to the voters, and “benefiting the rich”, while possibly perceived negatively, is a sacrifice that the voters are willing to make.

If this sort of thing was commonplace, I wonder if this overtly male-focused advertising (I say “male-focused” as males, who are majority heterosexual, would be the largest collective that would be attracted to this sort of advertising) had anything to do with video games being stereotypically associated with males. Perhaps it’s a sort of positive feedback. If so, I wonder what the initial bias towards males was.

Yes, they can read the data.

Isn’t this contradicting the Unified Push spec? It states:

Push message: This is an array of bytes (ByteArray) sent by the application server to the push server. The distributor sends this message to the end user application. It MUST be the raw POST data received by the push server (or the rewrite proxy if present). The message MUST be an encrypted content that follows RFC8291. Its size is between 1 and 4096 bytes (inclusive). [1]

What’s interesting, and is confusing me about this, is that Ntfy does not adhere to this [1]. I’m not sure how this can be.
