Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits

I hope they are paying the hosting bill for all that media.

The telltale will be what they do in other markets, like Europe.

Are they going to be so spineless as to change for Belgium but not for the US? Will the 51th state have a rainbow?

Thank you. His face still looks very punchable.

I'm wagering they don't do anything at all anywhere. The absolute most might be a 'happy pride!' page buried somewhere.

But, honestly, as a gay dude, I don't care. This was all performative nonsense anyways. It was, at the very best, just some virtue signalling bullshit marketing thought might sell another car or book or potato or whatever the fuck, and never ever actually meant support or willingness to stand on principles or even get fucking involved in anything - though, I'll admit, there were a very few exceptions to that.

There's lots of shit needed, but an avatar picture that's just fucking marketing from trillion dollar companies ain't it, boss.

We should not forget that these people scrunched up their faces at Twitter itself for years and said ”but what is it?” Only in the fullness of time did it permeate our entire society.

This is a very good point that should be pointed out more often. I think the longevity of the ecosystem matters more than the active user count today. Eventually through pure erosion lemmy and other decentralized platforms could wind up winning in popularity as well if things get worse everywhere else and they're stable enough to continue adding new users.

How this is called that when "lemmygetnaked" would've been infinitely better I'll never know...
