"The big one for me are the whole “sexuality is fluid” and “call yourself whatever you want” things. I would bet anything that lesbians were not at the forefront of making things go this way."

You would be correct. And it is by design. Corporations promote diversity, and shape these narratives because it actually makes it harder for groups to organize. They can force diversity in order to fracture communities or unions. So when you see tech companies such as reddit pushing you into a group that you do not relate to, they are doing this intentionally. From the way the site appears on a phone, to the way it's increasingly harder for you to view comments. And especially the down vote system. This enables them to coerce people through peer pressure, and if not change your mind, change what you say and share with others. Tƃ̸͎̯̓̌ey are making it harder for people to communicate both inside social media and in the real world. They want you to feel uncomfortable. This makes it easier for them to provide you a solution with a unified voice.

I wish I had an answer for you, as to how to weather this current trend of tech companies controlling social media groups, but I don't. I guess you'll just have to figure that part out on your own.

Oh and hey. Welcome to Saidit.
