@isolategab Where's the link to the original post?

@DavidBond I can't find the original post...is it possible that the brave cyberwarriors at @isolategab deleted it?

Also, DJitter specifically says they will block "hate-based racism, sexism, and other hateful speech", by opposing such an instance, they by default support that speech. Right?

Or it's the skin! The skin is offensive!

@canonicalbrud Not in every use of the word.

@alyx

Those "Christian sects" also oftentimes use apologetics to prove the veracity of the Bible but that might be a conversation for later in the thread.

I suppose the question then is why do people who want to silence racists want them to keep being racist?

@canonicalbrud Which part of that verse applies to the F word?

@isolategab This is the whole point...sure you can make screenshots to your hearts content, but since the racists don't see your discussions explaining how wrong they are and condemning the hatred...since the instances you are likely referring to have probably banned Gab...there's no way that they will see what you say, this, you're not enacting any change, just talking with non-racists about how bad racism is, while racists keep unconfrontedly self-confirming.

@isolategab While true, that's how exposure works, right? Just like mold, racism grows quite well when it's in the dark, covered up and hidden away.

It's just as disgusting as it is when it's revealed. But hiding it didn't make the racism grow away, rather it caused it to fester.

I suppose the real question is, do you want racist people to stop being racist? If you do, you're going to have to communicate with them in some form or another.

Just realizing that the channel name of the "station" in Flame's album Rewind is TITUS Radio 211. Likely a reference to Titus 2:11.

@alyx Hmm. Well they actually are human beings. That means that their minds can be changed.

How will their minds be changed? Surely not by talking exclusively with other racists.

Racism thrives in darkness

So Gab federating exposes racists to non-racists, making it easier for existing Fediverse users to confront racism...why was it such a bad idea again?
