    The thing is, I dislike censorship in general. Corporate or government. Yes it’s the corp’s prerogative, but we’re allowed to criticize corporate censorship and hypocrisy regarding censorship.

    I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful billionaire run companies while criticizing censorship by the government. They’re not that different.

      I won’t get that either.

      But unlike the Government, which is at least, supposed to care about us when making their policies,
      the companies don’t. Whatever gets them more money[1] is what wins.

      Well, said companies will realise in time[2] when it hurts them where they care about and will have to consider changing stances.

      My personal opinion is that for “edge cases” like cisgender, I should be the one who decides what “slurs” I see or don’t see on the feed, rather than some shmuck twitter mod who watched a YouTube video or whatever.

        Well, you have that choice on Lemmy. Even if a mod deletes a comment, you still get to see it in the Mod Log.

        And this is how their[1] empires fall.

        I mean it’s still not an edge case. It’s just not.

        Like, insert that “That’s not how this works, that isn’t how any of this works” meme here.
