Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it. (sh.itjust.works)

r/redditalternatives thread: This is why I don't trust anything on reddit. A r/modcoord thread full of anti-fediverse comments, and all of my pro-fediverse comments are removed and the mods won't answer why. https://web.archive.org/web/20240111205116/https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/193iuf1/this_is_why_i_dont_trust_anything_on_reddit_a/

outright bigoted

Just because they take a different approach to improving peoples conditions that is more concrete than the paper thin protections offered by capitalist societies gay acceptance doesnt make them outright bigoted. Which is basically a 'we wont put you in an insane asylum or prison anymore but we will use you as moral panic bait forever in our newspapers to turn a profit' approach.

LGBT+ liberation must include improving peoples material conditions, countries actively being genocided or deprived because of western policies deserve our support as victims of our own aggression too; If you actually care about LGBT+ people globally it means stopping our devestation of them, then letting them heal.

I've been to China, I felt much more safe there as a openly bi man with my male partner at the time than I ever do in the UK; our news whips people up into a frenzy and makes people attack each other physically, you dont get the same undercurrent of rage in socialist countries towards LGBT+ people, just a lack of understanding.

Not to mention the way the imperial core constantly stokes up homophobia and transphobia abroad

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lets not even mention how China has entire 200+ million population zones that have been openly tolerant and accepting of trans people culturally, forever (Shanghai) and that China isnt even actively oppressive towards LGBT+ people, just ignorant in some areas.

Nowhere in China are politicans debating actively genociding trans people, they are in Florida. Trans people are also the medias current beating horse in the UK.

A lot less homeless gay and trans children too.

Next to none, as well as a 90% outright ownership rate.

I know trans comrades here in the UK who have been forcibly no-fault evicted 6 times in the last 2 years when the landlords found they where trans out. They suddenly 'decided' to move in, usually leaving them homeless and having to scramble to rent somewhere at half there monthly income while working two insecure jobs and being unable to access health care.

How is this better?
