Worth noting this is a lemmy developer. (Most people don’t know “Nutomic”)
Yes, they are one of the few people who make big decisions when it comes to the development of Lemmy, and if they do it with bias they can cause problems for the rest of us. Especially since Sublinks is basically dead, no new development happening there. Lemmy is all we have right now, so we’re stuck with it until something else with a Lemmy-compatible DB comes along.
PieFed? Mbin? There are viable alternatives that aren’t that far behind.
Pushed by the Bourgeois? Gosh I wish. The reason why trans people have rights is due to years of activism and science. (And the warning power of the church)
The Bourgeois have been trying to stuff us down forever. You saw how fast some corporations dropped their LGBT flags at the first sign of trouble. They don’t care about it
Even were it true, which it is not, that the ruling classes push LGBTQ+ acceptance, Nutomic’s argument would be ignorant at best and dishonest. Either they don’t know of all the historic instances in which those in power have played both sides of an issue against each other in order to divide potential opponents or, more likely, they are willing to selectively overlook it to justify their prejudices.
It’s not even “both sides” necessarily, to me that sounds a bit too elaborate for the rather dumb forces at play. It could be just “whichever side is more economically/politically useful at the moment”. After years and decades of LGBT activism, companies turned to LGBT acceptance to give themselves a more tolerable human face (after someone else has already done the work of humanising LGBT, but the companies want some of that aura). When they feel that it’s not politically profitable anymore, they just switch back to homophobia. Case in point: Musk who used to tell people not to buy his cars if they don’t support LGBT.
I though that the LGBTQ+ community was supported by the entire left wing spectrum including the far left. Was I mistaken? Also, the notion that trans people are “bourgeoisie” seems to be contradictory considering that, historically, the LGBTQ+ community have lived on the margins of society including western societies.
Nutomic is entitled to his opinion.
People will sometimes see things differently. This does not necessarily make them wrong or bad.
Sure it does. Don’t tolerate intolerance.
dude needs to face the wall tbh
What a fucking moron.
