You can argue about the proper way to do DEI or not and its effectiveness, but this is all blatantly political. I mean, if someone got some enjoyment out of having those themes, what's it to anyone else?
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoWow, that example is even more blatant, and just goes to show how all this free speech talk is bullshit. Exactly as you put it, "what's it to anyone else"? And if anything, I'd be all for adding more themes: You want everything in MAGA red? Cool, knock yourself out. I hope lots of people at Meta are in full-on quiet quitting mode.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoYeah it's common in politics. Free speech for me, but "cisgender" (a medical term, same as "transgender") is a slur. States' rights for slavery, but not for abortion. "There must be an in-group who is protected by the law and not bound by it, and an out-group who is bound by the law but not protected by it."
- pityJuke 2y agoYeah, what the fuck do Messenger themes have anything to do with free speech, or company effectiveness? It's a clear signal, along with the moderation changes that allow you to call LGBT+, and only LGBT+ people, mentally ill: Meta, the company, hates gay people.
