@admin "I disagree. You support free speech, right? So I have the right to repeat that Gay Rights do not necessarily include the right to publish pornography."

You have every right to disagree, but you are also incredibly wrong. Pride is a deeply personal and when I say "you have no right" I'm not speaking in a legal sense. You don't have a right to tell others what pride means to them in the same sense that I don't have a right to tell you what your values and identity mean to you.

You of course have free speech. You are perfectly allowed to tell people what a homophobic bigot you are are. Everyone else is allowed to call you out on it.

Related, people calling you out for your shitty opinions is not "trolling" as you've lamented on several times. its people telling you you are wrong. Perhaps you should consider why?

"The right to publish pornography is not actually a central demand of the Gay Rights movement, as far as I know. 😄"

Once again, you are wrong. Oppressors always come for the "deviants' first. The fact you singed out "homosexual pornography" in your first post tells me you are OK with this.

"There are actually gay people who are quite conservative in their views about that."

Yes, there are always people that are willing to sell out their community to live comfortably themselves. You'll have to forgive me if I'm not willing to join them.

@admin @staff "Gay pride is not about publishing gay pornography."

You have no fucking right to tell others what pride means to them. The fucking nerve for you to even think that it is OK.

"Don't we want to cultivate a more "family-friendly" environment that will attract a bigger public?"

Who ever said that was mastodon.social's goal? Why would you assume it is?

"If we don't sandbox pornography, when why don't we allow gore and other offensive content?

No one gets to blanket allow or deny anything on the Fediverse. Its peer to peer and open source. Admins get control over their instance and that is the extent of their authority. Stop trying to exert your authority over other instances.

"I actually did a some six weeks of training as a moderator for Meta, so I do have some personal knowledge of the range of content you could be exposed to if nobody moderates anything."

I assure you that nobody on the Fedi cares one rat's ass how Meta does anything. Fuck Meta. Fuck X, and fuck those that want to turn the Fedi into another sanitized, sex hating wasteland.
