The ruling was made in the context of a specific law and not as an absolute rulling.

Not saying I agree with it but just adding nuance even if you don’t intend to explore the topic further.

These are tough calls to make. On the one hand I applaud the step taken to protect the community hosted by this instance, on the other I also find that simply cuting ties and conversation only furthers the divide.

Sure we should not have to defend the validity of our existence, and also realise that most hate leaves little place for heathy discussions. But in avoiding their echo chambers I find we quiet ours too, we renounce our visibility for our comfort and theirs.

I guess I wish there were other ways to warn users about potentially triggering instances rather than outright defederating, but I do understand your main motives.

Depends on the intent. If the series portraits mostly faithfully the game story but then decided to omit this part from it, than it looks like straight washing to keep a low Parental Rating and avoid backlash from homophobes.

Why are we minding transphobes exactly? They are inconsiderate and disrespectful most of the time, and they don’t really want to listen to any arguments that dont confirm their bias.

I understand your concerns, but since it is an official EU platform and we have the GDPR, I don’t think there’s much cause for concern. Even if it uses your countries platform to verify your identity, I don’t think they would be able to see which petition was signed just that you verified your identity on the platform as a whole.

In any case hope you stay safe! Yeah I’m intending on sharing it once a month till then!

Unsure! Lets hope we can rally enough signatures! But we still have some time to share and try and gather as many as we can!

If we do in Belgium that’s awesome and I wasn’t aware. However in other smaller countries I believe they are still lagging behind. But yeah would be great to have them EU wide and ensure that governments can’t backtrack on them.
