Yes but what about jewish black lesbians? They are cool to harass right? It's not literally explained in the document so it must be!

HEAR HERE! (I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO USE WHEN SHOUTING THIS EXPRESSION IN SUPPORT OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING)
Heer heer!
hear hear
I'm pretty sure the ToS only exists for legal reasons, don't make a big deal out of this. It doesn't mean the admins won't ban people for discrimination. Nothing suggests their stance has changed.
It's always the same trolls. Who would read the ToS and say "ok guess racism is back on the table".
Then why the change?
Nothing was changed, it's a new document.
That is a change
Rule 5 covers discrimination.
Here's a link to the terms of service.
Frankly it sounds a lot like pseudo-legalese. IMO the worst of both legalese (that could shield the entity legally) and writing clearly (that could inform users). However it doesn't imply that discrimination is allowed here, and 5.0.1 ("Lemmy.World is not a place for you to attack other groups of people.") already arguably protects people against discrimination.
It’s a hell of a lot clearer too. “Discriminate” is more vague than “attack”.
What would "discrimination" look like in a reddit-like link sharing service?
I'm not even sure what that word would imply in a discussion forum. It usually applies to things like wages, job opportnities, access, etc.
Your name is rick and you are canadian!!!! Downvotedd!!!!!
California, actually. Although that's probably worse.
I would proudly stink of back-bacon and maple syrup, if given the opportunity.
Was there any discussion about this change? Or is this it.
I can't see any history discussing the change before today, but the posts from before today also seem to be more inclusivity-minded than this one. Maybe it's just a huge oversight and they forgor. But it's definitely not a nice look. The new rules also say you're not allowed to report content for things that aren't a violation of the terms of service. So if you report a content for being racist, that's against the rules.

If that is what you make of it than you're either playing dumb or you know, not pretending
oh s**t no more lemmy.world?
