First off, is this the perspective of Uplifting News as a community? I posted an article from an lgbt oriented news site on this community before, and got a similar question. You're a mod, so if you think we shouldn't post articles from queer news sites, could you let us know that?
I'm queer, so I read queer news all the time, and sometimes there's something that cheers me up a bit on those sites instead of depressing me, so I'll be like "i should share this with that uplifting news group!" If it's going to be a debate every time we post from lgbtnation, pink news, transvitae, etc, then let us know. They are always going to autofill with headlines about the group they are writing news about and for.
I certainly hope not.
no, I am mod, and this reply is just said as normal comment, if I had to say it as a moderator, i would have spoken other way. This was my opinion.
You are free to post any news, queer related or not. I particularly had problems with the title, and for more detailed explanation read other replies from others and me. As someone else said very concisely, my problem is that using labels is reductive. In my opinion the identity of rescuers is not that important. But someone else said that their opinion - "To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another group historically oppressed group (gay people)." which is perfectly valid. I think it is okay to have different viewpoints. If you disagree, please correct me.
Just to clarify - problem was not queer website, or someone posting about queer people. And whatever I said was my opinion.
And for clarifications, if a mod wants to, they can check a box for the comment to "Speak as Moderator". For demonstrational purposes, i will do so for this comment.
Okay, cool. I was hoping it was an opinion thing, but the "Mod" next to your name made me concerned this was more of an official opinion and you wanted to discourage the posting of articles like this one. Thank you for the clarification!
(Btw, I can't see the red shield on my instance, but it's clear when I go to the original url. I'll have to see if federating that is an upcoming thing for mbin, or if I'm just missing it somehow.)
Also, the red shield should be already federated I think, it may not be visible because mbin ui may not have added it yet, in case you want to confirm, you can check source for the raw comment (the json), it should have the tag somewhere
Thank you for understanding.
