        t4t - trans for trans = two trans people dating

        polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other. For example, in a 4 person polycule, maybe person a, c, and d are romantically together, but person a doesn’t date b. Person b ONLY dates person c. Etc.

        Some people make memes/jokes about polycules, like “The weakest one of the polycule gets kicked off the island” and stuff like that, or this fascinating Tumblr heritage post (links to RedLib instance) about a polycule commune cult in Portland.

        So in this case the OP feels that using NixOS is like being in a polycule with a bunch of trans people, or that it will encourage you to transition and join a polycule.

          Polycule doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
          If you look at a molecule, typically you’ll have clusters where each node is connected to each other node, and a branch or two reaching out, maybe with other clusters here and there.

            Yeah, that’s why I said:

            polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other.

            Funny though, your comment made me finally realize why it’s called polyCULE. I had no idea it came from molecule.

          Holy hell, what did I just read? That link is Internet gold. People don’t believe it’s real, but I have seen enough that it might be after all.
