You know what's terrorism, what I'm talking about when I say terrorism? Calling bomb threats on schools and hospitals because they support trans rights, talking about or encouraging people to do that. Shit like what LibsOfTiktok does is terrorism. These are the kinds of Terrorism you see on Steam, in forums, games, and live chats, awful shit that would not be considered acceptable by any decent person. It would be one thing if we were talking about nuanced takes discussing the war on Israel and people on Steam were being accused of antisemitism over "anti israilism" but that's not what's happening there. Most people on Steam discussing that are in fact being antisemitic, are in fact attacking Jewish people and Judaism, not the israeli government.

When someone points out terrorism on Steam they're talking about the death threats and bomb threats, when they talk about Steam being racist and antisemitic they aren't taking about anti-israel takes, they are talking about hatred towards jews and people of racial ethnicities. The situation here isn't nuanced it is very much the clear cut 4chan shit.

Yeah, sort of. Though they're a bit more honest since they don't even pretend to care about us. Probably hoping that if they stay quiet long enough the problem will go away and won't hurt them.

Great to hear.

Edit: Downvote me all you want random angry losers, doesn't change anything. I will continue to let admins know about assholes who violate their own homeserver's rules. The fact that you hate it means I'm doing something right.

Agreed, they really need to step it up when it comes to moderation of this type of content, including giving out permanent bans to people who make threats or harass others. Most people get a slap on the wrist if anything. I was literally harassed the last time I logged in to steam because the people I knew before knew me as a boy and I come back as a girl (I'm transfem) and they really didn't like that, ended up calling me a groomer and the t-slur. Awful experience, even though I reported it Valve did absolutely nothing about it.

Worst part is, it seems like it's still up on the platform for purchase. They legitimately do not care. It's funny though that they decided to ban one developer and their games because the person was being openly transphobic, so it seems like they're trying to make people think they care, despite not actually caring.

Valve hasn't openly stated they are like 4chan though, they may correct it if pressured since it wasn't their explicit goal to be a right-wing safe haven. Maybe it is but they haven't been open about it yet. 4chan is a lost cause when it comes to this, same as kiwifarms. They do not care and will not budge. Valve might since they need Governemnts not to ban them or publishers not to pull out else they lose money.

Maybe so, but I don't think it's too much to ask that they moderate things that would be moderated on Reddit or even Facebook. Like give people permanent community bans for illegal shit, death threats, Nazism, things that would get you permanent community bans on other platforms. Not being like or worse than 4chan isn't asking a lot.

You shouldn't be excusing nazism and the disgusting harmful shit people like LibsOfTikTok do. Even if it isn't explicityly illegal it still hurts people. Apologia for this shit isn't okay or acceptable ever. You're on a Trans friendly instance I can't believe you're sitting here trying to justify some types of online abuse.

@[email protected] Just curious, what do you have to say about this type of apologia towards Nazism and other forms of online abuse?

Yeah thankfully my dysphoria isn't anywhere near that bad anymore since the fucker shrank so much on estrogen, I do hope that sometime in the future I won't have this nub sticking out of me anymore and will have a nice vagina (I'll even settle for 0 depth, just to stop having a thing sticking out of me).

I suspect they haven't heard about it as much lately. I bet if German politicians heard about the Swastika and Nazi stuff they would be on it very quickly. Nazi content like that is a big No-No in Germany.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

So basically they aren't moderated at all. Also steam community forums by Valve themselves almost always without exception have shit moderation. Even if Valve did also do it, I have little confidence they would address the issue.

Are you really sitting here trying to excuse nazism, death threats, and promotion of terrorism?
