  • Zuck finally decided to show his true face. I didn't think other social media would follow the Elon path, but here we are.

    At this point I'm convinced decentralized social media is the only hope to scape this shit.

    • You haven't been paying attention then. Most forms of centralized social media have these problems.

      • I know they do, I just didn't expect it to get this explicit this soon. Twitter got so shit so quick I thought it might have been an outlier. I was clearly naive lol.

  • look at that removed (beneath photo of 17 year old girl)

    They specifically made removed not a slur anymore. It is now explicitly okay to call children transphobic slurs.

    While many of the examples and underlying policies seem muddled, the document shows clarity around allowing disparaging remarks about transgender people, including children. Noting that “‘removed’ is no longer a designated slur and is now non-violating,” the materials provide three examples of speech that should no longer be removed: “removed are a problem,” “Look at that removed (beneath photo of 17 year old girl),” and “Get these removed out of my school (beneath photo of high school students).”

    Also use 12ft.io to read the whole article.

    • This legit pisses me off.

      I’ll never understand where the masses get off by being horrible people to innocent groups that wouldn’t hurt a fly.

      They know what they’re doing is wrong, and they revel in it just because….I don’t know? Are they just trying to be rebels? Do they genuinely think that evil is good? Is it just dumb “Me macho tough guy! Me crush puny weakling!” hierarchy crap?

      • They know what they’re doing is wrong, and they revel in it just because….I don’t know?

        For one, they enjoy the hate it's like a catharsis, and two, they're constantly re-affirmed of their hate on social media, which tells them that all of those groups are immoral, evil and must be exterminated. It's a feedback loop of hate.

      • It's rooted in misogyny and connected to white supremacy. The existence of LGBTQ+ people shows there are more categories than cishit, which goes against men being the head of the family with the wife being accountable for domestic responsibilities. Non-white societies often had no issues with LGBTQ+ people, or even venerated certain types of queerness. When white people came to colonize, they started by undermining religions and social norms. That meant demonizing anything outside of patriarchal heternormativity. This was further enforced due to how lineage works. Everything passes down from father to oldest son.

        Fast forward to today and most of this shit is still in place. Queerness delegitimizes the power structure reactionaries cling to. Reactionaries may or may not be aware this is what they're trying to accomplish. It has become so ingrained within their psyche they lash out as a natural reflex. It is exactly as you say: "Me macho tough guy! Me crush puny weaklings threatening the hierarchy!"

  • so what would happen if i said crackers all look like when spongebob got the suds? would that be okay on facebook now or can i only bash people who are already at the bottom of the power structure?

    zuckerberg is a pathetic rat. it's blatantly obvious what's going on; let right wingers lie about minorities so they become more hateful toward them and they're distracted by that rather than zuckerberg's bitch ass not paying taxes while they can't afford to exist

  • It would be funny if this caused enough chuds to switch to FB from The Everything App that it finally goes bankrupt

  • Do you think I can post about luigiing CEOs now or is that too offensive?
