According to what definition of hate speech?
(For context, I just got perma-banned from reddit for hate speech; I left a comment saying I wouldn't bother with your (non-default) pronouns unless I know you, or they're obvious.)
- imwillofficial 4y agoApparently that makes you a bigot now. There is no definition of hate speech. That’s why it’s such a powerful tool.
- rocket_surgeron 4y ago>I left a comment saying I wouldn't bother with your (non-default) pronouns unless I know you, or they're obvious. No person has ever been banned from Reddit for this and anyone claiming this is a liar. A strong persecution fetish often accompanies bigotry.
- yarg 4y agoI'm not lying. Since they've deleted the comment, I cannot actually post it here. I probably also said that if you're running with zi/zir or whatever the hell it is, I'm really just not going to fucking bother. The mods on that site are losing their fucking minds.
