I just had to remove about 15 posts, (and someone kept making new accounts) from atlantic and variety, from people claiming we’re homophobic?

I just added a harsher signup and posting timeout as a short fix, which I don’t really like doing, but I have shit to do today and I have no choice.

edit: To clarify the mod policy here, homophobia / transphobia is a bannable offense.

I wouldn’t hesitate to remove explicitly homophobic or racist posts, and I don’t hesitate to remove western propo either (at least for now, until we decide what sectarianism is allowed here)

      Y’all, as the mod of /c/lgbt, if you’re going to be making these types of posts, please keep them to the appropriate subs.

          It should be AFAIK. Currently the sidebar says “for anything and everything to do with the LGBT+ community.” If it’s considered a violation of sitewide rules, that’s out of my hands I guess.

              Hmm…apparently the reason is because it’s an Atlantic article? We should probably have a /c/lgbt sub-wide discussion to clarify these issues.

                  It’s not a specification I’ve made in the past, hence the discussion post.

      Stop brigading please. Go to raddle, or reddit, you already have a space there to try to link marxism to homophobia.
