This is huge 👏 Mastodon has made it clear that targeted misgendering and deadnaming, as well as promotion of “conversion therapy” content is prohibited. As GLAAD has noted, all social media platforms should do the same.
“Conversion therapy” is also a harmful practice that attempts to change an LGBTQ person’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity. It’s great to see Mastodon stand up to say that anti-LGBTQ hate has no place on its platform.
@glaad this is great, but it's not mastodon. It's just one instance of mastodon. There are THOUSANDS of instances. It's like saying your local friend group is officially trans supportive. It's great, but it's not equivalent to "humans are officially trans supportive"
@183231bcb welcome to basic human interaction. You will find that offering to do what you want from people after explaining why it's a good idea is a better idea than making demands.
Please supply alt-text in copy/paste form (with instructions) in your next piece of scolding as a form of leadership by example. You will find it's far less likely that you get muted or blocked.
(See how obnoxious this is now? It works both ways.)
