    Meta’s anti-LGBT rules are closely knit to their ending the fact-checking: It is science denialism and linked to racism and vaccine skepticism.

    Homosexuality and gender identity are not considered mental illnesses, Sex is not a binary, and Race is not connected to intelligence.

    Bigots never liked science on these three, and now they use political power to impose their narrative.

    Meta never moderated such discourse. Nor reddit nor twitter nor youtube. There was no censorship to end here. What this is, it is a free pass to punch down trans and gay people. It is incitement to violence, and Zuckerberg and Musk must go to the gallows for it.

    Don’t get me started on the toxic harassment these platforms have allowed against African and Carribean reparation activists, how they have destroyed the lives of feminists, and how they have named all Palestinians terrorists.

    At this point race realists and gender essentialists have ensured political and technological control of the narrative.

    There is no room for debating sealioning trolls on this one. If they don’t understand the social dynamics against gender/sex/minorities at this moment, they are no better than brownshirts.

    It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.

      I agree. As a mod on LW myself I have to wonder how far the admin are willing to go to enforce such a policy. Are they really going to start removing mods for banning trolls and bigots‽

      *Edit: oops, I got the posts mixed up. I thought this was the post about lemmy.world’s new policy on debating trolls instead of banning them.
