LGBTQ+

This.

People like to ignore the fact that the main concern people signing or supporting the fedipact have is the well-being of marginalised/oppressed communities that have made the fediverse their home because big social media wasn't safe for us.

Meta has a history of promoting a hostile environment for queer people, people of colour, non-Christian people, poor and homeless people, activists, people with uteri, etc.; and it actively whitelists groups that promote hate and violence against these communities. Meta coming here puts all of us members of marginalised groups in danger.

I remember listening to a podcast from The Verge where they portrayed the anti-meta pact as primarily a way for tech men to keep control of these spaces.

It's funny (not really) that they want to portray the fedipact that way because techbros/tech men are the only ones here that see Meta "joining" the fediverse as a great oportunity/something positive

I actually learned of that whole thing directly from vanta and the idea people would claim she's some white tech bro is low key hilarious.

But the straight media tends to ignore queer movements in general.
