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/monopolistic companies run by billionaires while criticizing censorship by the government. They're not that different.
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^[implying X, Reddit etc.] 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.
yes, that's why I put it in quotes. However given the diversity of culture and language there's still going to be slurs that the predominantly English speaking mods will not be aware of, so users should be able to set their own filters.
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^[No idea about X though, it seems to love losing everything] is what wins.
Well, said companies will realise in time^[once the Federation evens (or at least smooths down a bit) the playing field] when it hurts them where they care about and will have to consider changing stances.
