There's free speech in good faith, and the one in the bad. But that's not even about that. If someone's speech is basically "all trans people are a pedophiles and belong on the cross in defence of good christian values" (not a direct quote, just a representation) it's not free speech. It's hate speech and that kind of speech is not protected. Free speech is meant to protect voicing opinions. Thinking some people are not deserving of worthy living is not an opinion.
Again. Wanting to actively hurt people you think are unworthy of living in peace is not freedom of speech. It's hate speech. And it's a whole different thing.
If you cannot differentiate between people actively stepping up to a literal anti-human propaganda from people posting it, perhaps you should fuck off, too.
But you do not disagree with someone doing or believing something. By defending transphobia you disagree with someone being one thing or the other. Because transphobia isn't based on disagreeing with what trans people are doing or believe in. It disagrees with their fundamental right to exist and wants to take it away. It's no different from racism or antisemitism.
Words are a vessel of emotions and general narrative. And they can hurt, especially when targeted at a minority fighting for rights. Not only does it make the people in question less "valid", it also affects them in making their fight for rights more difficult.
And about hate speech, no. Hate speech is hate speech. Always. For instance, you can deny climate change and even call it "religion" and that's fine. It's your opinion, it's something you believe in. I can think it's a dumb opinion and try to make you think otherwise, but ultimately, presecuting you for thinking that way and voicing your opinions is a violation of free speech. Because climate change, while it affects a lot of people, is not generally tied to people being one way or the other.
Transphobia, though, just like racism and antisemitism, are not interested in disagreeing with what trans people do or believe in. It has to do with disagreeing with their fundamental right to be and exist. Just like racism is not interested in criticizing what people of colour do. That's where that "mental gymnastics" bullshit comes in, and it's important. Thinking climate change is a hoax is an opinion. Thinking red onions are better than white ones is an opinion. Thinking it's okay to provide platform for people spreading dehumanising rhetoric posing an actual existential threat to a marginalized group is not an opinion. It has to do what it targets. If your rhetoric targets people for no other reason than your bigotry, I'm sorry, but it's hate speech. And it's really different than freedom of speech and freedom of opinion. Of course, you could criticize certain aspects of what trans people actually do in a civil manner. It's alright. But once you start to question the very way of them being trans it's over with free speech.
There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don’t even have rules or a description)....
@ngmi They are not really overreacting. We had a "crisis" with centralizing power to mastodon.social, and now Meta wants in. It's kind of grim if you think about it.
New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey.

Apologies if this has already been specified, I did go looking for any rulings. I have some images with full and partial nudity I’d like to start sharing here but I thought it best to ask first.
This single sentence is the best summary I have seen yet of the way Reddit admins/corporate is treating moderators and supporters: "The beatings will continue until morale improves"
If you were given a choice between a fancy boat or a fancy car, which would you pick? You can't sell either.
I'm not sure yet about my answer
