ADL says steam was unsafe after stating that pepe the frog is an extremist symbol to more than double the number of cases found.
Remove the meme, and take into consideration the number of users, 0.1% of users have used some form of extreme symbol or statement. That is a lower ratio of extremism than what Lemmy has.
This is a reach for control and surveillance. Nothing else.
Fuck ADL.
Oh my god, is this you? https://discuss.online/modlog?userId=247367
No wonder you hate the ADL, they advocate for the rights of minority people you regularly undermine and attack. They're working against you, especially because more protections means people won't take your comments seriously and instead call you what you are, a troll, and you'll also end up getting banned from more and more places.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Just so we're clear, this person is on your instance, using your platform to spew hate towards minority people on the Fediverse. Just want to make sure you're aware of this.
Yes that is me, and no I am not a transphobe. The ghazi mods banned me because I said that someone losing a visa for something they said is fucked up. I didn't even know who the person was who lost the visa or what they had done. I have never made any transphobic statements whatsoever, and you can dive deeper through the modlog to find evidence of that because it would show.
Also, I don't appreciate you trying to cancel me just because I don't agree with your post. We're adults here.
Thinly veiled transphobia is still transphobia, and even if you never said anything transphobic, your modlog shows a clear history of atrocious behavior such as downplaying death threats, engagement/promotion of bigoted ideology and just overall hostility and incivility in general. Things most server owners don't want on their servers.
No one's canceling you sweetie, servers have rules, and when you break them or are an ass people won't want you to be there. You've already been banned from quite a few of them, and the fact is a lot of your behavior indeed does go against PD's CoC. These admins deserve to know since they likely won't see the reports, and removals unless they're investigating you personally.
I haven't downplayed death threats. It was a conversation where someome falsely alleged that someone else had received death threats, which had no evidence, and the person in question never even claimed they had received any.
The rest is just me calling out misinformation about black myth wukong (the sexism allegations that turned out to be mistranslations) and about the harassment campaing against Sweet Baby Inc, bias in gaming journalism, etc.
I've never taken a specific political stance in any of their conversations. I just am against misinformation and censorship and call them out when they happen.
The reason I'm against what your post is about, is because ADL were extremely dishonest in their findings, and I think they're biased or politically motivated to implement restrictions that require users to give up more private information about themselves, or not be allowed free speech.
And no, I didn't break any rules either. Every ban I've faced have all been completely unjustified, which is why I've blocked most of the communities I've been banned on. It's like being banned from hexbear and you saying that makes me deserve to get my account removed. The little information you get out of that modlog only shows the mods being biased.
And you would know about biased mods, seeing as you yourself have been banned and then called out after making a thread about it. It isn't all black and white. I'm not interested in who was right in that post, you or the mod, but you get my point.
