[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (10 children) So what are you all going to do about it? permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 1 year ago (4 children) Continue to not use Facebook/Instagram. I switched to Lemmy when Reddit came out in support of people who abuse children. I don't even mean Trump, I just mean in general. I suggested abusers in general should face harsher penalties. They banned me for it. I said "holy shit you just did me a huge favor, apparently I was on the wrong site because our values are 100% incompatible." I mean, there isn't even a debate. I'm not talking about people who find themselves attracted to kids. I'm talking about people who actually went out and hurt a real child facing longer, more meaningful sentences and they said nah, those people are people and need to be protected. I've moved social networks on account of incompatible values and I think others will, too. Maybe not the majority but I think some others will. Especially as things get worse. There are networks for people who hate (like Truth Social), and networks for people who don't care (like Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp), but I think as things change, more people will care and will look elsewhere. Not everyone but some people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SwimmingInTheeStars@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* I got banned for suggested someone stab a can with a knife to open it (they didn’t have a can opener). They said I was promoting violence. I appealed and a human still banned me for that. What a crock lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago I mean, there isn't even a debate. Just like anything else an argument could be made for rehabilitation, but yeah banning for this is insane. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago Most people will continue and have continued to use the same big name social media, and expecting different from gen x and older is foolish. And these are still massive blocks of politically important people. Never mind the swarths of people in younger generations who will and are falling for the same dumb shit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago So nothing permalink fedilink source parent [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago Those who use Instagram will keep using it and forget all about this within 24 hours. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago I already don't use Instagram so not really much more I can do but I guess it doesn't impact me because of that permalink fedilink source parent [–] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Move to mastodon and lemmy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Give the right the eyes and ears to everyone sounds like a great idea while we sink into the corner permalink fedilink source parent [–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 2 points 1 year ago Why do you ask? permalink fedilink source parent
