Freakin' scabs.

Including me?

The problem is that nobody (or at least very few people of actual influence) are legitimately saying that trans people shouldn't get to exist. I have yet to see any politician, for example, express such a belief.

Was he talking about the people themselves, or the phenomenon of being transgender? That is a very important distinction.

What if they never wanted to transition in the first place?

I wonder if people are going to abuse downvotes and reports. The downvote is not a disagreement button, and reporting just because you find a comment distasteful is not what it should be for.

That "paradox" is bunk and is only good for justifying censorship.

Because I think you're advocating for a very destructive approach to social media.

As an aside, I didn't know you could see who's voted on a comment. How do you view that?

Are you saying that disagreement with this person is not legitimate unless you have the same level of education?

Metaright,

That does seem like a more reasonable way to think about it.

I am of the belief that banning users or deleting posts, even inflammatory ones, harms free speech and hinders open communication. If you feel a user is "harassing" you (insofar as that's even possible, given you can freely ignore their comments), attempting to have the user banned just pushes the community toward becoming an echo clamber. I say this because people are very, very bad at distinguishing harassment from mere heated disagreement in the first place.

Thank you!

You make some very good points that I hadn't really thought of, honestly. It seems like I didn't consider the full implications of my position. I still like to tend toward leaving things up, but I agree with you now that that probably has to have its limits somewhere.

I thought it was shutting down tomorrow, so the shock made it sting all the more.

It's Fediverse full-time for me, now.
