I’m a Canadian, so the only hate speech laws that I care about are the ones for my country.

No I do not think intentional misgendering should be considered hate speech (in the legal sense)

I would absolutely fire an employee of mine for doing it though, even if I found out they did it outside of a work context.

Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be consequences for it.


A) This thread is 8 months old, what the hell are you doing going through stuff this old. Get a life.

B) If you do it intentionally, knowing that they don’t want it, you’re a bad person. It’s not hate speech though based on the legal description in Canada. Just like I can call you a thin-skinned small-dicked asshole and it’s not hate speech.


Start your own community to replace the one you don’t like the mods of, keep the content fresh to attract people to yours instead.


I didn’t misunderstand your question, I ignored answering your question and instead gave advice to a person who would ask such a question.

You will die an unhappy person if you make hating other people a priority in your life.


Also there are limitations surrounding libel in the US


If you think hate speech is acceptable, you may want to stop and reassess your life. You dun fucked up.

Try building a life that doesn’t revolve around worrying about other people do that doesn’t affect you, it’s far healthier.



Anyone can register a domain anywhere as long as the country allows it. Lemmy is not from Mali in this case.



Until you create some communities, nobody can post unless they sign up on your server. Since most of us are already signed up elsewhere, that doesn’t make much sense.


Is it just me or are there no communities available?
