Our Democracy™

Cuba has been slowly increasing it’s legal protections for same-sex relationships and LGBT people since the late 70s and is expected to legalize same-sex marriage through the Family Code after pressure from some Christian groups prevented the National Assembly from adding it to a new draft of the constitution in 2018. If you’re asking about how a hypothetical new party in a hypothetical new proletarian state would legalize same-sex marriage, it would be important to ask why homophobia in a party would be so widespread to begin with. A party committed to democratic centralism would have to allow it’s policies and it’s standards for evaluating them to be questioned. People would have to be allowed to challenge current policies and discuss the material impact those policies and proposed changed would have on society. People today have access to enough information to easily make and defend the argument that equal rights for same-sex couples would have a positive impact on society.

I know you can get BAT from sponsored images without clicking. It’s been a long time since I used Brave. I did have to click ads when I used it. I was not aware that they changed that feature.

The only thing brave is good for is getting BAT from clicking ads, and even that’s a trivial amount. Brave Rewards can be a convenient way to donate to websites and YouTubers who have been Brave verified, but otherwise it’s basically just Chrome with Tor. I remember hearing somewhere that Brave’s built-in Tor browser was not secure but idk the details about that. Brave is not good for privacy. Use LibreWolf or something similar if you need something that respects your privacy.

What do you think of OP’s idea to let individual users filter out specific slurs? I don’t know how difficult such a feature would be to implement, but it would help some users reclaim slurs without offending others.

The part about Lemmy forks makes sense. Sites like Gab and removedute were very successful in using free speech as their main selling point, and the alt-right flocked to them almost immediately. As for reclaiming slurs, I think allowing users to filter out slurs would be a great idea.
