    Yes, spez is unequivocally, without a shadow of a doubt, destroying reddit for human users in the name of profit.

    The censorship on there is so pervasive now. Even the most mildest of takes will get you on your way to permanent bans in subreddits and sitewide. They seem to prefer bots using the platform over humans. Reddit is anti-user and anti-free speech.

        You can only get banned at community or instance level. Nobody can ban you on your own instance, only defederate.

            Transphobic arguments tend to either be in bad faith or poorly-informed, and are often bolstered by Brandolini’s Law. i.e. the one that says “The amount of energy needed to refute bullsh-t is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it”.

            The especially clever ones claim that peer-reviewed journals say things they don’t.

            If Reddit are against transphobia it might be one of the few things that’s still going right over there… and I wouldn’t expect it to last.

            I suspect it’s because anyone who disagrees with (or even just calls it) “trans ideology” doesn’t understand it. Trans people aren’t a set of beliefs, they’re a set of people. Some of them are clever enough to understand the sociological, philosophical, biological ramifications, and will argue that way.

            But for most, simply living as their birth gender is a constant uphill struggle of psychological pain or discomfort that they can only ameliorate by going through gender reassignment - itself not exactly a simple pain free process. By arguing against their ideology, whatever that means, you’re in effect saying “you don’t deserve comfort. The right to the pursuit of happiness does not apply to you”. Which effectively robs them of their humanity. And thinking of some people as sub-human is, verifiably, what fascists and Nazis do.
