Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

It's a bad sign in terms of the legal protections that these asshats will be looking to repeal and erode.

The most clever amongst us will use their own policy to engage in some genderfuck - get on it folks.

Abhorrent. Those sites need to be as rejected as X. (I’m not there yet either but need to get there.)

Any more welcoming alternatives to FB? Encourage everyone to abandon it for something better?

I'm a Stoic. Philosophy. Marcus Aurelius book of thoughts is like a bible. But different. Like Plato and Aristotle and some others

Things will get worse. Dark days

Time to phone in sick with a case of 'queer'...

The real story has been exaggerated but history is repeating itself https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/09/calling-in-gay-did-70s-swedes-really-get-paid-sick-leave-for-being-homosexual.html

Apparently there is also a change that allows women to be referred to as household objects or property. It’s crazy what some people think is ‘great’.

Abandon corporate media and their billionaire agenda platforms. Starve the beast.

Remove fact checking, add this...
How do we stop this?

mjames84.bsky.social•54 days ago

Stop using Meta platforms. I don’t think it will change anything though. They’re aligning themselves ever more with the extreme right of the Republican Party.

Nah, they’ve always been as aligned. They just don’t hide it anymore. How did we all forget about Cambridge Analytica so quickly?

And Trump will take it 20 paces back.

Meta/FB is doing a lot more to fuel hate towards LGBTIQ+ people. In my country just a few years of right-leaning FB moderation (courtesy of Telus) undid 35 years of progress and acceptance and led to a law against ‘LGBT propaganda’ being passed just a few months ago…

One step back? I'd say gigantic leaps back!

wulfboyraff.bsky.social•54 days ago

They *really* didn't like being called weird I guess?

ciliimages.bsky.social•54 days ago

When i went to block the Meta message I noticed this ummmmmm weird promise
