Thinly veiled transphobia is still transphobia, and even if you never said anything transphobic, your modlog shows a clear history of atrocious behavior such as downplaying death threats, engagement/promotion of bigoted ideology and just overall hostility and incivility in general. Things most server owners don't want on their servers.

Also, I don’t appreciate you trying to cancel me just because I don’t agree with your post. We’re adults here.

No one's canceling you sweetie, servers have rules, and when you break them or are an ass people won't want you to be there. You've already been banned from quite a few of them, and the fact is a lot of your behavior indeed does go against PD's CoC. These admins deserve to know since they likely won't see the reports, and removals unless they're investigating you personally.

Oh my god, is this you? https://discuss.online/modlog?userId=247367

No wonder you hate the ADL, they advocate for the rights of minority people you regularly undermine and attack. They're working against you, especially because more protections means people won't take your comments seriously and instead call you what you are, a troll, and you'll also end up getting banned from more and more places.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Just so we're clear, this person is on your instance, using your platform to spew hate towards minority people on the Fediverse. Just want to make sure you're aware of this.

There's almost no moderation on Steam at all. Sometimes threads advocating violence get removed, or threads with a lot of hate get locked but it's almost always long after the damage has been done and often times the ones doing nasty shit don't end up getting banned.

Privately owned company.

Another thing, the first amendment doesn't protect against violent or criminal speech, like terrorist threats/advocacy, threats towards individuals (bodily harm, sexual assault, murder, etc.) things which there is no shortage of anyway on Steam and they have every right to force the platform to moderate this, on the count of it being against the law.

Teenage nazis when not moderated or taught otherwise will grow up to be adult Nazis, and also have the very real possibility of spreading their hate to others when not moderated. It may seem trivial like something to hand-wave away, but many of these people complaining about woke games will grow up to be hateful republicans like the ones currently trying to take our rights away. It's not a laughing matter.

Of course they don't, companies only care when Pepsi Co and P&G take away their ad revenue for serving extremist content and catering to extremists. Valve has no ad revenue and is the only real PC game store on the block, so no one can make them "care" the way YouTube and Twitch, and other platforms are made to "care".

I've seen whole threads in game forums dedicated to Nazism, and I myself have been called a "groomer" and the t-slur because people knew be as a boy before I transitioned. Legitimately horrible place, they absolutely need to take more action against this.

It happens in games that have chat as well, mostly shooter games like CS2 and TF2. Consider yourself lucky if you haven't encountered people like that, they're not hard to miss unfortunately in those games.

I recently started playing some games and I was called slurs in the in-game chat, also by people on my friends list because I'm a girl now, and they knew me as a boy (Yay, transphobia /s).

Once you get into the realm of terrorism, threatening real world harm, calling for violence against minorities. It's no longer subjective, it's considered extremist and dangerous. In other words, your rights end where others' begin.

Why not just informational, like what curators do.

Many people also don't know how to recognize thinly veiled hate speech or dog whistles. So it flies over most people's heads and looks like normal discussions, even though it isn't.
