Discord has expanded its Hateful Conduct Policy to explicitly include prohibitions against misgendering and deadnaming in a policy update. Accompanying this policy update, Discord has also implemented a comprehensive warning system to enforce these guidelines effectively.
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one ) 37•7 months agoOh good, so they plan to actually start enforcing their policies? Because I’ve never seen it happen, and I’ve reported users who explicity called for violence against LGBT+ people and black people.
Yeah, I understand your scepticism. At least, they have a system in place for enforcement now. If they have the moderators to actually use it is a different question…
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one ) 21•7 months agoI was a moderator of a gaming server with 2k people. I quit modding and left the server over this.
I’ve not once seen Discord enforce their policies. In fact, I can still look back in my DM history and see active users who have made clear and explicit threats with a side of slurs to black and LGBT+ people. No action whatsoever on their part, even though I did my diligence by reporting them.

Revv ( @revv@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 24•7 months agoObligatory XKCD for the folks who keep citing the 1st Amendment 🙄:
If you want to be a hatful person online or in person, there’s nothing stopping you from starting your own little online utopia- VPSs are pretty cheap, after all. You’ll quickly find, however, that you probably attract a large number of assholes and, in all likelihood, either find yourself moderating content or shutting down just like every other “free speech” bastion.
Which is fine. I’m a firm believer in free speech. If bigots want to have a place to talk to one another, that’s their prerogative and their right. What they don’t have is a right to force others to host or listen to their bullshit, which appears to be what they want.
Content-based moderation is neither new nor pernicious, folks. So long as those doing it don’t hold a monopoly on the use of force, you remain free to vote with your feet, wallet, eyeballs, and ears.

offspec ( @offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com ) 13•7 months agoIt means we all dead name x
Mnglw ( @mnglw@beehaw.org ) 6•7 months agoits not deadnaming when its a company
a company does not deserve the same amount of basic respect an actual person does, nor does a company have the same rights
Naia ( @Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English6•7 months agoI just like to say, “I’ll stop deadnaming Twitter when musk stops deadnaming his daughter.”
Mnglw ( @mnglw@beehaw.org ) 2•7 months agoexactly!
so that’s why they added pronouns
