    I’m pretty sure your heart is in the right place, but your argument is more than a little confusing.

    The first paragraph clearly states that you believe sexual attraction is not a choice, and yet your argument is that “it’s not a choice” is counter-productive.

    If I understand it correctly, you’re basically saying to re-frame the “it’s a choice” narrative into something that affects straight people who oppose LGBT+ rights because they believe it is a choice that can be made?

    e.g. If you’re straight and then one day “choose” to be gay, but LGBT+ rights have been abolished, then the government has taken away your right to choose?

    If I’m understanding correctly, all other points aside, it may be too confusing to have any good/meaningful impact.








  • I think the distributed nature of the Fediverse is a big part of it. Lot of moderation policies at play, on a lot of different instances and some allow some real jerks to flourish and spill out elsewhere. I have zero tolerance for any of that garbage and am very quick with my block/ban buttons, but those are only effective on my own instance or the few communities I moderate outside that.

    OP, best I can suggest is to report them. Most of the communities I interact with are pretty responsive to those kinds of reports and similarly don’t tolerate it. Mods, unfortunately, can’t read every comment and often rely on reports to know when to look deeper/take action.

    And don’t feel bad about blocking the jerks. There’s a lot of them, lol.
