YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy
  • Reposting my comment another post relating to this situation

    I mean this is just them making official how they've been acting for 2 years minimum, as much as google and youtube want to act progressive and inclusive, people still get demonetized for talking about lgbtq or women's issues, unless they are harassing them, in which case the video will stay up no matter how many of youtube's rules it breaks. For example, trans NB game critic Stephanie Sterling had multiple harassment videos against them (they listed pronouns as they/them last I checked, please correct if changed) that are still up right now, several years after upload, despite those videos exclusively attacking them for being trans/non-binary, which breaks youtube's TOS

    Companies are not your friend.

  • The state supreme court in Wisconsin declined to press charges for it despite what he did being objectively being illegal in that state, honestly I doubt we'll see any action against him in any state due to fear of trump or trump supporters attacking anybody who does try to hold him accountable.

  • Exactly! I'm so tired of troubleshooting windows issues on a machine that HAS to use windows due to its applications not working on anything but windows (yes even using docker) and getting "switch to linux" as an answer. Linux is great, but it's not a panacea, the way linux users online (and especially here on lemmy) act is insanely cult-like and extremely unhelpful.

  • He tastes 196.
  • It was indeed people posting that they were following the rule, it started on the 195 subreddit that was the precursor to 196, but IIRC people only started incorporating 'rule' as a joke in longer titles on 196
