What if it was race? What if they said “this community doesn’t affirm black lifestyles.”
It is not like we live in society where everyone is always welcome.
"What if it was Russians?" (aha we forbade them long time ago), Chinese (them too), native Americans (we killed them off), what is they are from some poor country... Some of those russians and Chinese are lgbt+, what about them? Migrants? no way.
There are always limits if you don't see them you should work on your sensibility (or probably information source)
They have some rules, it is on us all (not only admins) to assess if those rules align with this server or they should make their own instance (or go to known conservative instance).
I don't even want to look at their community (i am ignorant of all religions) if they just don't want some content it is ok with me, if they are hateful and share hate content and contet against lgbt people then delete them.
Discrimination against Russians, Chinese, or Native Americans based on their demographic is also unacceptable. That it once was doesn't make it ok now.
I think against Republicans is fine right?
I mean, we could play the game "what if they set a thing they didn't say" all day long.
What if they said shoes go on your hands?
Would it be unacceptable if it described another demographic, is what they're asking.
100% this… race and sexuality are both pretty similar: things that people just are and can’t change about themselves
to say they’re not the same is… well, it’s not wrong, however they’re comparable in this context. if you say it’s not the same thing, you’re either arguing in bad faith or you made the exact point we were trying to: the only reason 1 is acceptable and the other is not doesn’t stand on logical foundations
