No I’m not.
No I’m not.
Making fun of people who try to shame me into killing myself is my coping mechanism for being shamed and told to kill myself. I agree, it’s gross that such a situation has even arisen. But it’s not like ignoring transphobia is going to help.
I was mistaken. There’s no modlog entry associated with deletion of the linked post. It seems the Liberty Hub mods deleted it themselves.
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone I’ve been banned from Liberty Hub as of 9 hours ago. My only interaction with the sub lately is this post here and the comment I left in the linked thread. The ban reason is “off topic”, which is not a Liberty Hub or Blahaj rule. 9 hours ago is also when the thread I linked seems to have been deleted by the Liberty Hub mods, and was replaced with another thread with a near-identical image and near-identical title. The only motivation for the ban I can see is for criticising the community, and the only motivation for deleting the post I can see is to hide evidence of the behaviour I describe in the post.
Liberty Hub’s 8th rule is that open discussion should be encouraged and bad faith attacks should be prevented. I believe a moderator is breaking their own community’s rules in their moderator actions, while banning users for reasons that have nothing to do with the community rules. If Liberty Hub’s stated rules have nothing to do with the actions taken by moderators, then there can be no oversight from the admin team to prevent instance rule violations. I believe the guideline of empathy has already been broken, and has been broken on an ongoing basis for months. The moderators of this community have gone rogue. They are not respecting the instance or even their own community’s values.
Ada already cleaned it up. That’s why the link in my post doesn’t work.
Why don’t you just feel the pressure drop in your bones? That’s what I do and I’m not even old.
Yes, this post is propaganda. If you look closely at what I’ve been saying I don’t have a moral opposition to propaganda. What I’m saying is propaganda needs to be taken seriously beyond the individual. This post isn’t transphobic trolling, which is the thing I actually want removed.
Maybe they only turn the warnings on if you’re sharing. If you have the barometer off, then they could tell you there’s rain coming, but tough nuts
propaganda noun
1 : a congregation of the Roman curia having jurisdiction over missionary territories and related institutions 2: the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person 3: ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause also : a public action having such an effect
Idead spread for the purpose of furthering a cause. I think Liberty Hub’s anti-voting posts meet both definition 2 and definition 3. (Merriam Webster)
Is there any procedure for when a community enforces different rules from the rules in their sidebar? And when the rules in the sidebar live up to the instance terms, but the real rules do not?
Man, why didn’t I think of preventing political propaganda from reaching people by ignoring it. What a good idea!
The open conservatives aren’t the ones posting on Blahaj and telling trans people to vote for our own genocide. I’m never going to convince a Truth Social user that Trump is a lying rapist criminal traitor to his country. But it should be possible to remove those kinds of posts from an instance that is supposed to be trans friendly.
Assume people make rational choices.
Why? I don’t think people have earned that much faith. People elected Trump in 2016 and I think they might well do it again.
You might be clever enough to walk that fine line, but the average voter is not. They hear “don’t vote for Biden” and they believe you. Expecting to trick the president and not trick the millions of other people who need to vote against fascism for fascism not to happen, is impossible.
You’re playing chicken with fascism. You’re spreading fascist propaganda to voters while the DNC threatens the same and hoping the other one blinks first. But you and I have a lot more to lose from fascism than those rich white people do, and they’re not going to blink. Your threats of fascism are going to come true.
There’s a difference between taking a stand that will harm themselves, and taking a stand that will harm everyone else as well while preventing others from taking a stand against them.
I can only find examples of Israeli atrocities in that article.
I’m not saying it’s not a bad thing, I’m just remarking it’s interesting you know in the first place. I didn’t know.
I hate call screening. I never activate it on purpose, the phone’s screen decides to wake up while it’s still in my pocket and let my thigh press the button for some reason. Then I pull the phone out of my pocket, look at the caller ID, and see that a robot is screening an important call from my boss, and the button to actually answer the call is greyed out until the robot is done harassing my boss. Or my doctor, or my therapist, or my bank. I’ve had important people I was expecting a call from hang up because they reached a robot instead of me and assumed it was a wrong number. It’s a terrible first impression to make when I’ve applied for a job and this robot decides to harass my potential new boss.
If they made the call screening button a slider, it would reduce the butt presses by 90%
Wow, Gmail has ads? I never knew, because I have adblock. It’s free, you know
It seems you’ve already made up your mind that deconstructing and condemning transphobia is transphobic, so maybe it would be best for your mental health if you avoided posts where we tell transphobes to fuck off.
