For awhile it was single downvotes, but it seems that moved up to 2-3 on each comment. Even the most benign stuff gets hit, the pattern is clear.

Can I find this person and block them from seeing my posts? Never really delved into how lemmy works.

Probably doesn’t matter much because after awhile the forget and leave me alone for a bit.

    I have no clue what MAP is, but can you point to the words that hurt you?

    We don’t get to choose who and what we are attracted to. 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, that does not absolve one of immoral actions.

    Or do you believe attraction is a choice? You believe people have a choice to be gay or trans? You can’t have it both ways. Pick. One.

      You believe people have a choice to be gay or trans?

      From a policy and human rights point of view, it’s irrelevant whether it’s a choice or predetermined.

      Anecdotally, I have friends whose sexuality sure looks like it was arrived at by a process that included an element of choice. And if that’s the case, it’s still just as legitimate an identity as if it were inborn.

      This might cause discomfort because it could send fascists the message that they could bully queer people into being straight. But they’re going to bully queer people regardless of whether it’s a choice.
