It’s worth noting you’re only allowed to insultingly say someone has a mental illness in relation to their gender or sexual orientation.
Do not post … Insults, including those about: … Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”

Edit: and the changelog is a hoot.
So it’s ok to say that zuckerfucker developed mental illnesses due to excessive zoophile orgies
Fuck Mark Zuckerberg, evil motherfucker.
Rich men have a mental illness and are weird.
Soon as Trump gets elected, the disinformation campaign could resume.
Could?
Dana White is on the Meta board as happens to be the same time.
Wonder how much longer you’ll be able to question the impact professional gambling has on the outcome of UFC matches.
huh?
Doesn’t make the least bit of sense to me either?
Dana White is president of the UFC. He recently got a spot in the Meta board.
They always did
I think the big reason they are allowing it is because they got to cut the entire cost of having moderation with an external vendor. Not because they have an agenda or anything. Its pure dollars.
Nah it’s clearly ideological when you look at the details of their new moderation policies. They now allow you to call people crazy, but only if it’s because they’re LGBT.
I don’t think so. Zuck never cared about people, he’s cut-throat, egotistical and money/power focussed. He wouldn’t take the time for thinking about insulting the little people (non-millionaires). He’s done it to encourage more users to use the platform and create disputes/content which is cold hard cash to him. Remember when they experimented with users by showing them content that would trigger them to make them interact?
It’s freedom of speech. Being able to say what you want and suffer the consequences of your decisions is what it is all about.
Except it’s not really “freedom of speech?” You can’t normally say someone is mentally ill - the verbiage is that you can specifically only call LGBT people mentally ill.
Oh you mean like specifically disallowing people from calling someone crazy unless that person is gay or trans? How the fuck is that “free speech”?
I can post some violent fantasy online and meta won’t allow you to call me crazy for it, but if you call me crazy because you think I’m gay that’s just fine?
I feel conflicted. On one hand, people can regulate themselves, and Facebook becoming a bigoted cesspit may bring more people to a moderated Fediverse.
On the other hand, these major platforms having such user monopoly and influence can cause unfettered hate speech to breed violence.
I’m conflicted about the idea that an insidious for-profit megacorporation should be expected to uphold a moral responsibility to prevent violence; their failure to do so might be a necessary wake-up call that ultimately strips them of that problematic influence. Thoughts?
Accelerationism is ultimately burning the vulnerable at the stake to try and send a smoke signal, so I think it’s hard to say that this is a positive development. We can hope that there is a silver lining here where corporate social media self selects itself out of the general populations’ lives, but I think we probably have to be realistic about the low probability of success here and the human cost that is incurred in the meantime
Too many people use meta’s services.
So what I see is, Meta first creates the problem of trans-metaverse by super aggressive inorganic promotion and then makes it even worse by cutting the expenses on such useless promotion. XD
L for all those who fell for it. Society eats you up (not sexually, keep your pants on) for getting mentally manipulated so easily.
My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can’t wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!
I find homophobia to be a mental illness. I mean it’s right there in the name.
greed is a mental illness.
billionaires are greedy.
the rich are a plague upon society and must be quarantined.
At a certain level ($10 million?) they stop being a symbiote and becomes a parasite.
The mental patients both own and run the asylum.
No what you do is rapidly freeze them and then use a little file to break them apart.
Is this the recipe for Torgo’s Executive Powder?
I thought it was how you got rid of warts but I’m not actually sure. Maybe after they’re removed they get ground?
Well Zuck is preparing a quarantine compound for himself in Hawaii
I think you mean “lava coffin”. 😂
Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.
Immense wealth is not compatible with the moral life. It’s also not compatible with Christianity, but I don’t think any of them truly care about religion. The drive for greed should be a mental illness, especially when it’s at the cost of empathy.
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
But what if the two penises touch? And they like it?
What do you mean “now?” I’ve been seeing people say that for years.
Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they’d review it and say it doesn’t go against community guidelines.
And then YOU get banned for “abusing the report feature”.
Reported a blatantly bigoted post saying that all gays should be burnt alive and I got a 30 day account suspension.
It’s just they’re updating their terms now that Trump is in power. Hate started to rise since the beginning of GenAI on the platform, I highly suspect due to the backlash from socially progressive people against it, and techbros didn’t appreciate that. They’re going mask off now after the elections.
Yeah the left wants things that actually hinder the oligarchs, the right wants to complain about them but will settle for people they don’t like being hurt. Tech companies understand that.
There’s also the fact that the bay area has spent quite a while having the sort of people who love to treat equal rights as a thought exercise
Zuck is one of humanity’s cancers
Maybe the next Luigi can fix the Z problem
might as well kill the tr*mp and the couch fucker
And maybe the M problems
As far as internet content goes, hate is winning. All the major social media platforms have been overrun by sexist, racist, LGBTQphobic commentary. And these platforms will simply follow the money, pushing hate content via algorithms as good people leave the platforms.
And these platforms will simply follow the money
This, remember that every single pride sponsorship and rainbow coloured logo was approved by a marketing department after extensive market research deeming it to be profitable
And only broadcast in subregions of their market where they know it’s a good PR move.
Make two Reddit accounts, one saying “I love trans people” and one saying “I hate trans people”. I bet the latter will get banned first.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
When we start to say “bad things” about the oligarchy watch hoe fast they shut that down
The problem with western oligarchs is that they rarely step foot on public land …so it’s really hard to track their schedules let alone get a shoot shot off.
A fun non-lethal approach is to just try to sabotage their planes while they’re on the ground. Shooting a hole in the window of a flying aircraft, generally frowned upon. Shooting a hole in a billionaire’s sky yacht while it’s empty in it’s hangar…well that’s just property damage that happens to prevent them from poisoning the atmosphere.
