FB won’t even do anything about the constant bombardment of scammer profiles that hit you if you post on any public group. They are always some attractive woman (stolen pics probably) with a profile that is a few months old and 1-2 posts at best. They always have the same message “I saw your profile pic! Friend me!” or some such crap.
You’ll get banned from reddit for questioning trans identification
“if you are a dick to people in a community the community will kick you out! unbelievable!”
And?
This has always been the case.
Looking at what’s already been said I will most probably get down voted, but it should only back my words up.
People should be able to write everything they want on the internet. And I should have the right to totally ignore everything they say. So why should I become a snowflake and care about other people’s opinion or think a big corporation will moderate somebody out of their platform? 🤔
It isn’t about being a snowflake and I think ppl should learn to be respectful towards each other. It would be a disservice to all of us if no one moderates the internet just look at the Andrew Tate case. There are too many ppl out there who do not understand what it means to hurt another person (regardless of reason). It is easy to ignore comments not directed at you but it becomes easily bullying which can become doxing and escalate fast, especially if you ignore it (have you not been in a school with kids/teen? Same things, it escalate until someone steps in. The teacher moderate and there are rules to not bully, it still happens but someone is on standby at least).
Watching other ppl hurting someone is a bad experience for everyone not just the offenders and victims.
Facebook is such a hateful place to be at that I am never logged in there.
Because if you don’t care they get offended.
The irony is that these platforms never did bother to moderate. I’ll occasionally flag some comments that are very obvious hate speech and the response is always “we found nothing wrong”.
I’ve given up flagging misinformation on FB. They don’t even give you a clear option for it except for very specific categories.
On the bright side, if there’s a boomer who only posts bad memes about how much he hates his wife, you can say he has a mental illness.
You could before, because it’s true, but you still can too.
Let’s for a second assume it is a mental illness, how does that make the people feel who are experiencing it? Do they feel loved and understood? If you suffered from the same mental illness where the most effective treatment is tolerance and acceptance, how would you like to be treated?
Fuck Meta and Zuck. I wish I could stop using WhatsApp, as every other Meta product is out of my devices already.
I wish our government actually regulated these corporations so they are not able to have a tentacle in so many essential technologies.
All of the symptoms of the crushing power of techbro oligarchs are directly tied to failures of govt to regulate.
Not wrong tbh
“How dare people different from me exist”
that’s not what I said at all lol
I think it’s more accurate to say homophobic people have a mental illness
?? If you go through insta reels and comments you will encounter a metric called “n words / minute”, I don’t think meta cared about moderation at any point
They always did because their moderators didn’t act upon old rules anyway.
Mark was never a source of good in this world.
According to the text messages, Zuckerberg wrote, “Yeah, so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”
In response, a friend inquired, “What? How did you manage to obtain all that?”
To which Zuckerberg callously replied, “People just submitted it. I don’t know why they ‘trust me.’ Dumb f****.”
This is a good thing.
Let people say what they want. If you don’t like it, you can always ignore them.
You are a mentally deranged paedophile that wants to mutilate children.
Just ignore me while I tell everyone I know about that paedophile john89, okay?
Me when I like to spread disinformation on the internet
That’s how disinformation works.
It also strives in the world of censorship, it just serves the dominant force then.
Hard disagree.
If one person’s rights negatively affect another persons rights you can’t just rule one right to be more important in every situation. There’s gotta be more nuance than that.
How does writing a comment on Facebook negatively affect anyone’s rights?
You can say whatever you want without affecting other people’s rights.
I see what you’re getting at - if we’re gonna allow our citizens freedom of speech, this is part of what it looks like. For the record, these dumb ass takes on my LGBTQ+ peeps do NOT align with my own personal feelings. However, freedom of speech is objectively a good thing.
Problem is that entities like Meta and X are suppressing the voices of people that are making comments against the status quo and challenging the uber rich, and elevating the voices of the bigots.
All that to say I think that’s why people are downvoting you, but I agree with you.
I thought it’s widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the busy with the mind or the mind with the body.
Zeezee already has a great reply. I’d also like to add that gender dysphoria isn’t the same as being trans, it’s possible to be trans and not have dysphoria
It depends on the “science of the times.” Crazy concept, I know.
It’s why psychology is considered a “soft science” and doesn’t deserve the authority that hard sciences have.
It’s a crazy concept to apply “science of the times” to only psychology, but not every other branch of science and medicine, as there are huge holes in understanding everywhere.
I have no idea what sciences would be considered “hard” in this definition.
Not really. Psychology has a massive reproducibility issue right now.
You’re right, all other fields have been completely unaffected!
Psychology stands out with how many results are not reproducible.
Math is pretty solid
Actually that’s a common misconception - while gender dysphoria is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) - it’s not actually a mental disorder (similar to how the DSM includes physiological and environmental issues like Insomnia or Social Exclusion) - main reason it’s there is for admin purposes and to facilitate treatment access.
However, a condition like body dysmorphia (think Anorexia Nervosa) is considered a mental disorder because the issue is the mind incorrectly perceiving the body - therefore it can be treated using psychotherapy which enables the mind to correctly perceive the body and prevent harm.
People who experience gender dysphoria on the other hand - actually correctly perceive their body (that’s where the distress comes from) so psychotherapy doesn’t work to alleviate this - as you can’t therapy away an accurate perception (think gay conversion therapy)
Which is why after many decades of research the only treatment that’s been found to work is aligning the body with the mind - as at that point the mind continues perceiving the body correctly but this time it’s congruent with it’s mental model which alleviates the distress.
Hope this helps :)
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.
greed is a mental illness.
billionaires are greedy.
the rich are a plague upon society and must be quarantined.
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?
At a certain level ($10 million?) they stop being a symbiote and becomes a parasite.
