- The social network that hides your mutuals worse than YouTube hides your subscribed content, and which explicitly and openly advertises first party bot accounts as a feature is what you consider the "best social network"?
  What's the worst? Your actual friends and family?
  
  Facebook certainly has a lot of issues but it's way better for the mental health of sane individuals who can deal with disagreements imo.
  That's not what Facebook is like at all.
  Have you considered perhaps that you're simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?
  Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring democrats and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago. And you say they can deal with people who think differently? Lol
  
  Have you considered perhaps that you're simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?
  I am more aligned with their views indeed. But it doesn't change how FOSS networks lie about themselves and are very leftist. I guess Facebook and them are just opposite.
  Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring democrats
  Idk about that but they're at least claiming to be removing censorship so let's see how it goes (not too well so far).
  and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago.
  Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion. I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way. The problem is people who lose special benefits over others in cases like this always tend to exaggerate and say that they're threatened which is pretty ridiculous. If Facebook really is just banning LGBT members though, that is too much.
  And you say they can deal with people who think differently?
  Not really but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I'm not sure who's at fault here and it's not really the topic anyways.
  
  But it doesn't change how FOSS networks [...] are very leftist.
  FOSS is essentially software socialism. It's not surprising many of the people who love it espouse those ideals in other aspects of life.
  Idk about that
  Yes you do. I can see your post history on the topic. You know they've been censoring opposing viewpoints.
  but they're at least claiming to be removing censorship so let's see how it goes
  Claiming to be doing that then verifiably censoring political persuasions they don't adhere to. Clearly following the Elon Musk school of being free speech absolutists.
  (not too well so far)
  Well at least you're aware of it.
  Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion.
  Well facts don't really line up with your opinions, I guess. They were and are being hostile to LGBT people.
  I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way
  Ummm... How? Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic. What does that even mean?
  It's an impossible position. You cannot be anti-LGBT without being toxic in the same way you cannot jump into a pool of lava unscathed.
  And you say they can deal with people who think differently?
  Not really
  But you initially said they could?
  but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I'm not sure who's at fault here and it's not really the topic anyways.
  Of course. You're not at fault. Nothing is your fault. It's those damn other people who made you this way.
  
  Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic.
  I think there's no point in any further discussion with such stubbornness. I would like to use my right to prohibit interaction with me any further.
  
  You lost on every single point made, then proudly silenced your opponent and strutted victoriously, while calling them stubborn... some people have no ability to self analyze, genuinely impressive display of willful ignorance
  
  They were extremely stubborn though. They are one of the "you agree or you're toxic" fascists.
  
  Are you really, completely sure that you are not the one being stubborn here?
  Can you give me an example of non-toxic anti-lgbtq behavior?
  
  Are you really, completely sure that you are not the one being stubborn here?
  I am stubborn too but there's no point in talking to a stubborn person with an opposite opinion. The only thing it can cause is both sides being convinced that the other side is stupid.
  Can you give me an example of non-toxic anti-lgbtq behavior?
  Religion. That's like the most obvious example possible.
  
  Perhaps you're right. There's no point talking to a hateful bigot for me either.
  And for what it's worth, you don't need to tell me about your right to do that. You can either simply not reply, or you can block. You don't need my consent.
  
  With all my disrespect, fuck off and stay on Facebook. Thank you!
