The social network that hides your mutuals worse than YouTube hides your subscribed content, and which explicitly and openly advertises first party bot accounts as a feature is what you consider the "best social network"?
What's the worst? Your actual friends and family?
What's the worst? Something very obscure probably. However Mastodon and Lemmy are very opinionated now so they're only really suitable for closed communities which is fine but it's not what they advertise themselves are and it's not something I consider what makes a good overall social network.
Facebook certainly has a lot of issues but it's way better for the mental health of sane individuals who can deal with disagreements imo.
As for the hiding issue, can't you just open your "Friends" or whatever it's called tab?
Also I do agree that alternatives have way more user-focused design but the mentioned issues of them are absolutely massive to the point that I personally cannot recommend them as social networks.
That's not what Facebook is like at all.
Have you considered perhaps that you're simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?
Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring #democrats and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago. And you say they can deal with people who think differently? Lol
I am more aligned with their views indeed. But it doesn't change how FOSS networks lie about themselves and are very leftist. I guess Facebook and them are just opposite.
Idk about that but they're at least claiming to be removing censorship so let's see how it goes (not too well so far).
Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion. I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way. The problem is people who lose special benefits over others in cases like this always tend to exaggerate and say that they're threatened which is pretty ridiculous. If Facebook really is just banning LGBT members though, that is too much.
Not really but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I'm not sure who's at fault here and it's not really the topic anyways.
With all my disrespect, fuck off and stay on Facebook. Thank you!
FOSS is essentially software socialism. It's not surprising many of the people who love it espouse those ideals in other aspects of life.
Yes you do. I can see your post history on the topic. You know they've been censoring opposing viewpoints.
Claiming to be doing that then verifiably censoring political persuasions they don't adhere to. Clearly following the Elon Musk school of being free speech absolutists.
Well at least you're aware of it.
Well facts don't really line up with your opinions, I guess. They were and are being hostile to LGBT people.
Ummm... How? Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic. What does that even mean?
It's an impossible position. You cannot be anti-LGBT without being toxic in the same way you cannot jump into a pool of lava unscathed.
But you initially said they could?
Of course. You're not at fault. Nothing is your fault. It's those damn other people who made you this way.
I think there's no point in any further discussion with such stubbornness. I would like to use my right to prohibit interaction with me any further.
You lost on every single point made, then proudly silenced your opponent and strutted victoriously, while calling them stubborn... some people have no ability to self analyze, genuinely impressive display of willful ignorance
They were extremely stubborn though. They are one of the "you agree or you're toxic" fascists.
Are you really, completely sure that you are not the one being stubborn here?
Can you give me an example of non-toxic anti-lgbtq behavior?
I am stubborn too but there's no point in talking to a stubborn person with an opposite opinion. The only thing it can cause is both sides being convinced that the other side is stupid.
Religion. That's like the most obvious example possible.
That makes no sense at all, the parts of religion that are anti lgbtq ARE toxic...
Are you against gay marriage on religious grounds? Are you against trans people on religious grounds? that's obviously toxic.
Furthermore it's fully possible to be religious and not anti-lgbtq... correct?
so that isn't really an example. Give me like, something someone would say that's anti-lgbtq and non-toxic, an example quote?
For you everything anti-lgbt is toxic and for me everything about lgbt is toxic. Any questions?
That's not really true btw but like how is that different to your point?
Because you didn't make a point, you indicated that religious people can be non-toxically anti-lgbtq without giving an example of them being non-toxically lgbtq
I deny that it's possible to be non-toxically anti-lgbtq because being against someone simply for existing and being themselves is inherently toxic.
As is being against the right to freedom of expression.
Furthermore you didn't even give an example you just vaguely handwaved at religion.
They is obviously a troll, wouldn't it be better to downvote, report and move on?
No, and I despise this ideology, you should actively confront things you disagree with whenever they appear, else next time you're wrong you'll just say they're trolling, cover your ears and won't self reflect, analyze, or grow.
The trick is not getting mad over what they say, not not saying anything at all.
Perhaps you're right. There's no point talking to a hateful bigot for me either.
And for what it's worth, you don't need to tell me about your right to do that. You can either simply not reply, or you can block. You don't need my consent.
