Question, and this may not be the perfect place for this, but is it the phrasing that LGBTQ is a mental "illness" that's the problem here, or that it's a mental attribute at all?

I'm an LGBT supporter, so I'm not coming at this from a place of malice, I suppose it's curiosity and ignorance. Don't we basically understand that the way we function as humans is all a part of our brain chemistry, and that certain deviations from the norm cause things like ADD, homosexuality, musical creativity, etc etc?

The word illness seems way too strong, as we as a society have decided we don't have anything against that personal trait/lifestyle/whatever, but as far as natural occurrences goes homosexuality must be considered a mental abnormality, no?

Again I don't want to get caught up in feelings here, because I think people will hear that and take offence to it since no one wants to be "abnormal" but that is the concensus is it not?

Fecesbook is crap. Crap take from a crappy data salesman with nothing but crap to sell. I can't wait until it eats itself from all the bots.

feel free to be heroes and leak meta's source code before leaving.

That’s a bit like emptying the sewer into the street

Meta employees suddenly discovering their conscience is a bit rich.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 8 points 22 hours ago

Still, it's good to see there are people there who won't just go along with anything.

i think I've finally reached peak zuckerberg, i don't want to read one more thing about facebook or meta or whatever

[–] FeloniousPunk@lemmy.today 7 points 22 hours ago

Same. Luckily you can add his name to the block list.

He is going to be bare ass naked running down the halls screaming for employees to "come at me bro"

I'm not glad that someone stood up for the billionaire.

But good for you ?

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I aint standing up for him just pointing out hes been trained to fight by professionals. Ohh and hes won competitions for it.

Yeah people drastically underestimate the gulf between randos and anybody who's had even a little decent training.

If you have a problem with it, organize a Facebook union. The only way small voices matter to CEOs are when they speak collectively.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

if they weren't already organizing, I bet they are now. CWA has been receiving so many high quality leads for the last 2 years that they literally do not have enough dues-paying members to fund all of those campaigns. They're one of the largest unions in the US already.

Good to know that there’s still some decent people there.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

Anyone 'decent' there is a wage-slave that doesn't have an out. If you can leave meta and don't there's no decency there.

announced content moderation changes that will allow users to say that LGBTQ+ people have “mental illness,”

Someone gets triggered by free speech here.

Anyway, wind blows the other way now. Zuck doesn't want to piss against it
