    Glad to hear it, I really gotta realize that Facebook isn’t the “majority” it’s mostly conservatives

    On there they’re like “Oh so you’re for changing the gender of a child, but not for renaming a lake.” and “So you’ll let Mike call himself Jennifer, but renaming a lake is out?”

    I gotta stop using it, but it’s the best place to get news updates.

      FB is such an enshittified mess these days. I log in there maybe only a few times a year. I recently heard Cory Doctorow talking about the early days of FB, and I do remember those days. I had my doubts about their intents from the outset, but even I didn’t imagine it would descend so far.

      BTW, don’t use Nextdoor, it seems to be even worse. The thing seems to be designed to give a permission structure for busybody Karens to police their neighborhoods.

      As can be expected the opinions on there are just…ridiculous. Particularly around things like water use.

      Seems like it’s bots and/or posts being manipulated to push a more conservative agenda. There’s no way there’s that many morons on FB.

        All I know is that there isn’t one story about a trans person without a dozen “You mean [birth gender]!” And at least five jpegs of someone wiping their ass with the gay pride flag.

        And god help you if it’s a post about Sarah McBride… they keep posting Timmy from South Park (in reference to her deadname)

        Every trans friendly post from trans bloggers is FULL of these assholes to the point where it’s impossible to support them without being bombarded by transphobic posts.

        So much transphobia…

        So many “LGB drop the T” posts from people who are obviously straight (Right Wingers trying to make the community look divided)

        Also anti vaxxers up the ass.

      “Oh so you’re for changing the gender of a child, but not for renaming a lake.”

      Yes you dumb bitch, one of those is being overseen by a medical professional with consent of the parent, the other is a wannabe dictator throwing a fit and trying to antagonize our closest allies.

      Conservatives deserve to be slapped every time they crow about freedom while expecting to casually limit the freedoms of others.
