Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn’t going to result in any action, so I’m wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
(if someone needs an image description, please ask)
OK that’s the last straw for me. I am willing to give the benefit of a doubt to people, but this is the third strike for this person. So I’ve asked them to move their comm to another instance as they don’t align with our instance values.
Australians are the worst
Well done. I appreciate the fuck out of this place.
Yet another very common db0 W
Yet another very common transphobia L
Well done
Fantastic to hear, thank you!
Another victory for the peoples court, hear hear
Based db0 as always.
I mean, serious question. Is the goal to produce a pure echo chamber where no dissent arises? How far does this go. It seems like the end result of this is 5-10 large groups of peeps who have “aligned values” that can endlessly reinforce each other. I have a MAGA chud relative that spouts all kinds of nonsense. Is the best thing to literally exorcise this person from my life? I don’t know that a lot of identity driven silos is really all that healthy either.
Yes people should be safe, but that doesn’t necessarily imply that no one EVER disagrees with them does it?
If that Maga chud kept repeating talking points about how people like you don’t deserve human rights and actually managing to strip you of some, would you excise them or politely debate them?
Not every idea deserves a debate
Tolerance of intolerance is how intolerance prospers.
Bigotry is not a matter of opinion, it is one of hate.
Right, but that involves you holding the definition of bigotry as objective truth. You don’t think that anyone can have a good faith contrarian opinion to your values? I mean, life is complicated. People are complicated and come from a bunch of different communities or backgrounds. Do you think they should just bow down before your assessment, or do you think there should be some wiggle room to convince people of your ideas.
This is clearly a bad faith argument and I won’t enter into debate with someone who is defending a transphobe. My right to exist is not on the table, and that you’d defend the right to of someone who would advocate otherwise to do so says a lot about your priorities.
Do better.
Clearly bad faith? Curious what you mean.
your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins
the same goes with opinions: opinions are valid until they start negatively effecting other people
transphobia is transphobia and hurts people. having transphobic opinions shut down hurts nobody
