Hi! Autistic reddit refugee here. I like technology, autism, programming, and music production.

Instead of making assumptions about me, how about you answer my question?
Again, most rational people who have gone through what she’s said don’t see transphobia there.
Who are these “rational people” you’re referring to? You can’t just make a claim like that and not back it up with any logical reasoning.
I know many people I would consider rational that disagree with you.
Amazon has no business pointing out shitty practices at other companies when they are literally one of the worst companies in the world. But of course, slimy greedy fucks have no shame.
All the more reason to switch to Firefox!
Software patents should not be a thing.
It was impossible to not read the last line in the style of money machine.
You can’t make any word a slur. Slurs are specifically words used to show prejudice or to oppress a group of marginalized people. You’re not going to use the n-word, are you? So don’t use words that historically and still is used against intellectually disabled and developmentally disabled people.
Your “deal with it” rhetoric also doesn’t come across as anything else but a lack of good argument. You know you could just be a nice human and have empathy for people who are hurt by the words you’re using instead of being a stubborn asshole.
In my country the phrase “jævla homo” is a slur against gay people. So just because a word has multiple meanings doesn’t mean it isn’t a slur when used in the right context.
And please spare me from your passive-aggressive winking faces. It doesn’t come across as anything else but childish.
“Homo” and “Retard” are both slurs when used in a derogative way. As an autistic person who also happens to be gay, both words are hurtful when used in the way you use them. Please do better, especially if you’re not part of either minority group. Then it’s just embarassing for you to use words that you really shouldn’t be using.
Yep. Nothing will change without actual government regulations. People just don’t care, and sadly that’s the reality. People will continue to not care as long as it doesn’t affect them in any way. It’s the same reason people with a lot of money vote for parties that enable them to have more money whilst not caring about how it affects people of lower “class”.
I’m not going to even consider Threads though, because I quite like Lemmy and even if Lemmy and Mastodon, etc gets “extinguished” by Threads, I will stay here. I assume a bunch will do the same.
bzz bzzz
