What in the holy fuck?
I don’t agree with the loosened moderation rules, but at least there is a logical explanation. But removing these 2 color options is just targeted hate towards these minorities.
Fuck, it’s so damn scary what’s happening in the lead-up to trump’s takeover. All the billionaires and corps backing up the führer. Friends, stay strong out there!
The lgbtq community voted for Trump so imo they are getting their just desserts.
I mean some of them did, probably. It’s a diverse group, can’t really lump everyone together outside of being not straight and/or not cis.
They know who their users are
Good, it is about time we stop shoving this idea down everyone’s throats. We don’t need the propaganda everywhere we turn in our day to day lives.
You sound like such a bottom right now.
Can we get people to also then stop shoving their cisgender straightness down our throats as well? Would only be fair.
Can you provide an example of this cis shit being showed in your throat on fediverse?
We are talking about the general public sphere, not here.
OK then example in the public sphere that you don’t like?
It’s not that I don’t like it, I couldn’t care less. But as an example, let’s see, how about, almost a hundred years of straight heterosexual cisgender couples sucking face in the vast majority of movies and TV shows ever produced?
Don’t forget the toxic Manosphere out there in the genpop. Many young men are drawn into the Rogan-type bs.
OK… But they are the majority and the target audience for these movies.
Do you expect heterosexual relationships to be censored?
Do you expect heterosexual relationships to be censored?
If we’re choosing to censor non-heterosexual relationships? Absolutely.
What does it being the majority have to do with it? Being skinny is overrepresented in movies but that doesn’t seem to hurt sales.
If you cant handle non heteo relationships, then why should anyone be forced to handle hetro relationship? See how stupid you sound?
its getting SHOVED down your throat is it? are you gagging? is your mascara running? fuck off
Yeah look at all the gays and trans kids that got propagandized to be straight and cis because of all the heteronormativity in the media!
Here’s someone who hasn’t ever read a study on population and how many people identify as trans in nations that support it…
Because that’s literally what happens. On both “sides”. (I kind of cringe at calling them sides, because I don’t care about their orientation, but for the sake of argument)

It’s almost like lefties, or autistic people. Now that there’s widespread awareness and easy(-ish) medical diagnosis available, people end up figuring out they’re zebras instead of weird horses.
And, like left handed people it will most likely plateau at a steady percentage after a while.

I don’t use any social media with the exception of Lemmy. No Tiktok, No Instagram, No Facebook, No Threads, No Twitter, none of it. I still see constant alphabet-mafia propaganda everywhere.
Have you ever considered it’s not propaganda and just people wanting to feel comfortable in their own skin? Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong. Identifying itself as anything, including cis is just called “living”.
Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong.
No, Propaganda is pushing any viewpoint you want to be more adopted. It doesn’t necessarily have to disparage anything else.
Like an iPhone ad. They don’t put up messages that are like “ew you’re an Android user, you’re so stupid and ugly”…they just put up an ad talking about how awesome having an iPhone is.
Same thing.
You don’t need a facebook theme to feel comfortable in your own skin. It’s there so you can make absolutely sure that everyone around you knows your orientation. Like an advertisement.
Propaganda is the deliberate dissemination of information aimed at influencing public opinion, often through manipulation and selective presentation of facts[1][7]. It typically serves a specific agenda and employs emotional appeals or distortions to persuade an audience[5][9].
In contrast, an LGBT theme in a messenger app promotes inclusivity and representation without manipulating beliefs. It encourages acceptance rather than enforcing a specific ideology, allowing users to express their identity freely[8]. This distinction highlights that while propaganda seeks to control perceptions, inclusive themes foster understanding and dialogue.

Congratulations, you’ve somehow managed to read words and still not understand them. That’s certainly not a first on Lemmy, but you’re certainly in a select few!
No, Propaganda is pushing any viewpoint you want to be more adopted.
If you see a black person on TV, do you think that will make you want to become black?
Absolutely. I had a phase in my life like that. I grew out of it eventually. If I had never been introduced to black culture, do you think I would have ever taken to it?
The fact that you think being black is a lifestyle choice does a lot to explain your other comments in this thread.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve read today. Thanks
Congratulations, you’re about as smart as a MAGA republican then.
alphabet mafia
Hahahahaha you people are so fucking weird
Why don’t you add Lemmy to the list of social media you don’t have?
Nah. I’ll be here for the foreseeable future. If only just to make the echo chamber a little less echo-y.
Noted
Looking at your moderation history, it doesn’t seem that way…
Oh no, not my mod history! Whatever will I do? You’ll see all the echo-chamber mods that removed my posts for having a different opinion! Oh noooooooooooooooo
Anyways… you could discuss the topic at hand…
If a colour theme is enough to set you off, you may want to have an honest conversation with yourself about those feelings you are repressing.
And they always phrase it as something being “shoved down their throat”. Freud would have a field day with it.
Well he was Freud. Everything tied back to dicks and mothers. Make of that what you will. Maybe it was a Freudian slip.
It’s rumoured that he and Jung were sharing more than their theories on psychoanalysis in their formative years, so maybe that had a lasting effect.
If colors can disgust you this much, you’re the problem. People who identify as LGBTQIA+ live their lives by that same identity 12 months out of the year, not when it’s convenient for bigots and corporations.
Are the bright colors giving you impure thoughts?
Why would sex be considered ‘impure’ anyhow? Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago. You can do whoever you want, idgaf. Are you assuming I’m some sort of religious follower? Nah. Pretty anti-theist and non-believing. Thanks for participating! You missed your mark though.
Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago.
An interesting collection of words in an order I’m sure made sense when you typed it.
Thanks for the reminder of why I have you tagged as “Transphobic Piece of Sh¡T”
Thanks for the reminder that I can tag users!
Same reason I have you tagged as a heterophobic. I doubt you’re a piece of shit though. You probably at least mean well.
heterophobic.
My man just managed to write the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on Lemmy, congrats. I wonder how long it will take for somebody to overtake your achievement.
Aww a triggered cissy, how cute :D I hope your life is full of heterophobes :3
I hope one day you will read your comments from 2025 and think: “Oh shit, was I this obnoxious!”
If I could, I’d like to ask these groups one simple question.
Why hate? Tell me what it is that makes you see another group of people with a different lifestyle or background, or culture, or anything else that you’re not a part of, and you default to hating that group.
I’ve never understood that concept. I can understand hating individuals, because those individuals are assholes. I have plenty of people throughout my life where I’ll say “Ugh, Gary is an asshole!”. But I don’t sit here and say “THOSE people are assholes!”
Because it’s perfectly fine to judge people. It’s actually important to judge people. But you can’t judge whole groups as one. It doesn’t work. Because EVERY group has good and bad. That’s just the nature of humans. So if you judge a whole group as one, you’re missing the point of judging. To judge someone is to analize their traits as a person. If you try to do that with a group, there’s too much variation to come to any conclusion, and at that point it’s not fair judgement, it’s just hate.
Which brings us back to “Why hate?”
And I want anyone from these groups who are transphobic, or maybe other groups that are racist, or maybe other groups that are hateful towards any gender, I want them to explain their hate. I want them to lay out their logic.
Because I assume they’ll spew out some hateful statement like “They’re always doing this and this”. And I would challenge them on that.
“When did they do this and this?”
Or maybe they’d say “Because they have menal illness!” And I’d say “So you hate people with mental illness? If someone in your family develops dementia, you’ll hate them too?”
Every sentence they take I’d challenge them to make a logical explaination of it. Because I don’t think they can. And 9/10 of them I don’t think will change. However, I think you’ll get some people who realize “Wait…am I wrong? Am I being an asshole? Oh my god I’M the asshole here!”
religion.
PieFed has a trans theme, btw
Holy cuck, the Zuck is such a fuck.
These companies just go whichever way the wind blows. Which is exactly what you would expect.
Damn, they well full mask off.
Not sure what you mean, but I read it as full musk off - not sure really what that would mean either but it somehow makes more sense.
“Mask off” refers to taking off the facade of something and showing their true selves. In the case of meta/twitter/etc. the changing of policy from protecting groups that are discriminated against (ineffectively, but at least pretending to try) to actually promoting hate and discrimination is revealing their true selves as bigots and hate mongers.
I think they were confused because of the typo. It should say “they went full mask off”
Thanks
how are the meta shareholders ok with zuck burning down the company?
They’re probably more afraid that Trump will burn the company down.
who do you think told him to delete them?
Zuck, meet Luigi
In all seriousness it’s not a cure for all our ailments. As much as some people may have “earned” themselves a forced retirement it can be incredibly easy to frame it as a purely political hit and then swing the pendulum back the other way and take out someone actually fighting for democracy. The United Health CEO seems to have been universally accepted as human garbage.
How many billionaires do you know actively fighting for democracy?
Is this sucking up or just finally feeling free to show their true self?
Yes
Given it’s a commercial company. It’s probably the first.
Now you can see the true colors of CEOs: they don’t really care about minorities, scientific facts, or the truth itself. They only care about aligning with the current leader’s ideas to make more money
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Rainbow capitalism has always been a sham.
Yeah, anyone who thought the big DEI push was anything more than virtue signaling got taken for a ride.
i wonder what would happen if both the upcoming president and the vice got assassinated, how would the lizard corp react?
Only one way to find out
What even is a trans and non-binary theme?
Isn’t it just some colours?
Yes, it’s just some colors. If you can’t handle a picture with some colors, you’ve got a problem.
When did I have a problem with it? 🤔
I’d guess pride colors, depictions of Blahaj (that IKEA shark that’s popular among trans folks), stuff of the sorts. Stuff that right wingers get offended by.
Unfortunately, nobody cares. Funny infinite brainrot stream.
