Agreed, they really need to step it up when it comes to moderation of this type of content, including giving out permanent bans to people who make threats or harass others. Most people get a slap on the wrist if anything. I was literally harassed the last time I logged in to steam because the people I knew before knew me as a boy and I come back as a girl (I'm transfem) and they really didn't like that, ended up calling me a groomer and the t-slur. Awful experience, even though I reported it Valve did absolutely nothing about it.

Worst part is, it seems like it's still up on the platform for purchase. They legitimately do not care. It's funny though that they decided to ban one developer and their games because the person was being openly transphobic, so it seems like they're trying to make people think they care, despite not actually caring.
Valve hasn't openly stated they are like 4chan though, they may correct it if pressured since it wasn't their explicit goal to be a right-wing safe haven. Maybe it is but they haven't been open about it yet. 4chan is a lost cause when it comes to this, same as kiwifarms. They do not care and will not budge. Valve might since they need Governemnts not to ban them or publishers not to pull out else they lose money.
You shouldn't be excusing nazism and the disgusting harmful shit people like LibsOfTikTok do. Even if it isn't explicityly illegal it still hurts people. Apologia for this shit isn't okay or acceptable ever. You're on a Trans friendly instance I can't believe you're sitting here trying to justify some types of online abuse.
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone Just curious, what do you have to say about this type of apologia towards Nazism and other forms of online abuse?
I suspect they haven't heard about it as much lately. I bet if German politicians heard about the Swastika and Nazi stuff they would be on it very quickly. Nazi content like that is a big No-No in Germany.
Are you really sitting here trying to excuse nazism, death threats, and promotion of terrorism?
Thinly veiled transphobia is still transphobia, and even if you never said anything transphobic, your modlog shows a clear history of atrocious behavior such as downplaying death threats, engagement/promotion of bigoted ideology and just overall hostility and incivility in general. Things most server owners don't want on their servers.
Also, I don’t appreciate you trying to cancel me just because I don’t agree with your post. We’re adults here.
No one's canceling you sweetie, servers have rules, and when you break them or are an ass people won't want you to be there. You've already been banned from quite a few of them, and the fact is a lot of your behavior indeed does go against PD's CoC. These admins deserve to know since they likely won't see the reports, and removals unless they're investigating you personally.
Oh my god, is this you? https://discuss.online/modlog?userId=247367
No wonder you hate the ADL, they advocate for the rights of minority people you regularly undermine and attack. They're working against you, especially because more protections means people won't take your comments seriously and instead call you what you are, a troll, and you'll also end up getting banned from more and more places.
@Ategon@programming.dev @erlingur@programming.dev @snowe@programming.dev Just so we're clear, this person is on your instance, using your platform to spew hate towards minority people on the Fediverse. Just want to make sure you're aware of this.
There's almost no moderation on Steam at all. Sometimes threads advocating violence get removed, or threads with a lot of hate get locked but it's almost always long after the damage has been done and often times the ones doing nasty shit don't end up getting banned.
Privately owned company.
Another thing, the first amendment doesn't protect against violent or criminal speech, like terrorist threats/advocacy, threats towards individuals (bodily harm, sexual assault, murder, etc.) things which there is no shortage of anyway on Steam and they have every right to force the platform to moderate this, on the count of it being against the law.
Teenage nazis when not moderated or taught otherwise will grow up to be adult Nazis, and also have the very real possibility of spreading their hate to others when not moderated. It may seem trivial like something to hand-wave away, but many of these people complaining about woke games will grow up to be hateful republicans like the ones currently trying to take our rights away. It's not a laughing matter.
Great to hear.
Edit: Downvote me all you want random angry losers, doesn't change anything. I will continue to let admins know about assholes who violate their own homeserver's rules. The fact that you hate it means I'm doing something right.
