This puzzles me. Why do these Meta employees care for LGBTQ people? How can anyone work for Meta and have a conscience?

I guess being an a-hole has always been cheaper than not being one.

Fecesbook is crap. Crap take from a crappy data salesman with nothing but crap to sell. I can't wait until it eats itself from all the bots.

I think community notes is a better form of moderation. And focusing on stopping the more extreme bad shit instead of thought crimes seems like a good thing too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (13 children)

who is talking about thought crime? spreading fake news can be dangerous in a way that results in actual deaths.

If you have a problem with it, organize a Facebook union. The only way small voices matter to CEOs are when they speak collectively.

if they weren't already organizing, I bet they are now. CWA has been receiving so many high quality leads for the last 2 years that they literally do not have enough dues-paying members to fund all of those campaigns. They're one of the largest unions in the US already.

Seriously, this is how the media is spinning this? "Facebook now allows people to post that LGBT people are mentally ill"?

The default behavior of any social media platform is to allow people to say anything they want. That's what social media is for, to allow people to talk to each other. The things it doesn't allow are, and ought to be, exceptions. Facebook has now decided that one of these exceptions will be slightly loosened. I somehow fail to see the big deal in this.

False, moderation has existed since literally the beginning.

The paradox of tolerance is you have to be intolerant to intolerance

You are an idiot.(*)

(*)See anything wrong with that statement? Think an order of magnitude worse and directed at minorities who already are targeted with hate, and you have the reason why such policies must exist.

Question, and this may not be the perfect place for this, but is it the phrasing that LGBTQ is a mental "illness" that's the problem here, or that it's a mental attribute at all?

I'm an LGBT supporter, so I'm not coming at this from a place of malice, I suppose it's curiosity and ignorance. Don't we basically understand that the way we function as humans is all a part of our brain chemistry, and that certain deviations from the norm cause things like ADD, homosexuality, musical creativity, etc etc?

The word illness seems way too strong, as we as a society have decided we don't have anything against that personal trait/lifestyle/whatever, but as far as natural occurrences goes homosexuality must be considered a mental abnormality, no?

Again I don't want to get caught up in feelings here, because I think people will hear that and take offence to it since no one wants to be "abnormal" but that is the concensus is it not?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Your argument has been used countless times in history for a number of "abnormalities" that turn out to just be differences without distinction.

"Listen, I'm a supporter of red-heads, but don't we basically understand that it's a genetic abnormality? Maybe 'illness' is a bit harsh, but they're just not common enough in society to be considered normal."

I'm not going to downvote you and assume this is a genuine question. You appear to be aware that calling someone "abnormal" would be considered insulting. If you support the idea that someone having different sexual preferences is their own business, why would you want to use these labels? If one person likes math and the other likes literature, would you call one or the other abnormal? We all deviate from the norm because there is no norm.

Ok there i go for the downvotes... Where are woke people there is always confusion about everything, if you dont think or do things like they do they start scream and protest all the time. Thats why they are getting behind, the majority of people (the silent ones) are tired of the constant whining

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

What is "woke" to you? Not using racist slurs?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Silent? I fucking wish you idiots were silent.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

We certainly wish you were silent

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

"Do things the way they do" like accept people's right to exist and be themselves. You're the ones enforcing things on people, your revulsion at seeing a black person isn't equal to that person's suffering under a racist system.

You entitled piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure it's the zios and other fash crying about having their lies revealed.

Ok there i go for the downvotes... Where there are people with which I disagree there is always confusion about everything, if you dont think or do things like they do they start scream and protest all the time. Thats why they are getting behind, the majority of people (the silent ones; like us) are tired of the constant whining

… We are above the fray. It is the they’s and them’s causing all the problem and doing all the complaining. This post isn’t the exact whining I’m talking about I promise. We us’s are just doing the lord’s work and never complaining.
