I filter out tranny, nigger, kike, gas so if your response contains that i probably wont see it. Not offended by these words, but i find 9/10 times the person saying them has nothing useful to say that adds to tech discussion.
This post isnt exactly tech, but it relates to the state of the tech discussion on the board. A lot of people are going off topic in the replies and i often ask myself what board im on with the shit i see.
Again, nothing is offending me, but it annoys me that one board isnt staying on the other domain.
We need to adopt a code of conduct that will prevent exclusionary behaviour. I think everyone should have to sign an e-document (with their real name and address) acknowledging the evils of racism, transphobia, and antisemitism, as well as the historical accuracy of the Holocaust.

I agree with you. I think there's a lot of valuable information here, but a lot of people posting here are comfortable using racial slurs and making ignorant hate speech. Transphobia, homophobia, this board just needs to have a conscience and actually give a shit what kind of content they see here. I think there's a lot of complacency in calling out racism/sexism/homophobia on this board.
Blake Diaz
You must be trolling.
Alexander Miller
Not at all, friend.
Tyler Jenkins
I definitely agree, user. We should be more creative in our racial slurs. Just because african americans are hopeless criminals that exist purely to make money for the criminal justice and prison systems, doesn't mean we have the right to slander them. Same with the mentally ill. Insulting the mentally ill instead of bringing them to treatment for their gender dysphoria only makes their issues worse. I'm not suggesting that the treatment should be a bullet but that's not off the table.

Fuck off nigger

Making obligatory participation a thing would be the death of a site dedicated to a degree of freedom. Crazy shit is posted on Jow Forums, to moderate that and make that mandatory in a matter of free speech would just alienate people from the site.
I wouldn't want to sign an E-document. This community advocates strongly for personal freedom.
I think a social shift in the language used on this site would improve things. For one, not letting it slide when people use racist slurs.
Gabriel Stewart
fuck off whitey
Noah Gonzalez
*Racial slurs
A slur in that context by definition is racist.
Charles Kelly
Your way has been shown to fail every time. You have to take a strong hand with white men or they will just re-offend. What is more important, the freedom of white men to say offensive, rude things or the freedom of marginalised people to feel safe?
Dominic Cook
As a minority myself, the thing that makes me most uncomfortable is when people on the internet use bad words. The systemic racism that holds me back from government positions, employment in the tech industry, and any hope of a decent political career is just noise compared with teenagers on the internet saying bad words.
Zachary King
Why don't you try Reddit, sounds more up your alley.
Grayson Thomas
Women, coloured folk, and trans folk suffer from discrimination in a manner of ways, all of which must be addressed. You can't ignore one form of oppression just because another seems more pressing.
Austin Torres
Exactly. We can't ignore real problems in society and put 90% of our effort into censoring teenagers online. Effort should be given based on their effect on those affected, not based on what advertisers want for the sites they advertise on. Advertisers don't give a crap how many trans kill themselves, or how many blacks end up in jail or shot by police, they want an online environment safe for their adverts. And this is why money is pouring into policing online areas, while ignoring the COLOSSALLY HIGH suicide rates of transfolk that would be categorised as a fucking medical emergency if it was allowed to be treated as an illness and not something to 'accept'.
Gavin Brown
These are the people who have invaded this place, along with the retarded teens Think about that
Your white is showing. This isn't a grand conspiracy by advertisers. Marginalised folk really do feel unsafe online, and that has to stop. We are in the digital age now, the internet is a powerful tool and it can't become the domain of white men. If we work with ISPs we can force compliance with out code of conduct and create a creative space more conducive to equity among oppressed folk.
Landon Stewart
>really do feel unsafe online And this is bad for advertisers you dolt.
Gabriel Robinson
I agree with your latter point, I just don't think that specific type of obligatory enforcement would be the best solution. A change of rules would be a good step though, for sure.
Justin Fisher
It's worse for marginalised folk. How can we enforce anything if people remain anonymous? It needs to be made easier to link an individual to their online accounts. This should be done for the entire internet. Most everyone conducts business on the internet so, like the wild west, it's time for the lawlessness to end.
Ian Flores
Oh wow, you're being serious. Just go to someplace else, really. This website is not for thin skinned pussies. The internet is for everybody. This website isn't. And don't talk for "minorities" like you're some kind of spokeperson you cunt. You certainly don't talk for me.
You know that whole incest joke only exists because mainlanders are upset about becoming non-white, right? You're full of Asians, abos, maoris, scandinavians, niggers, wogs etc. Whites will be a minority on the mainland soon.
Christian Miller
Only good thing to come out of Tasmania is umm Fucken nothing You'll grt pozzed like the rest of us just wait ya cheeky Lil mini Island bugga
Jacob Powell
No, because we aren't poofs like you. You couldn't even kill all of your abos, you soft cock.
Jayden Hernandez
Ohhh m8 it's on now imma find u and drink a brew with ya if I ever leave the mainland u cheeky Lil fuka
Just report blatant Jow Forums and incel spam. The mods on this board are pretty good at removing off topic content if you flag it. If it isn't offtopic you shouldn't be filtering it - truly held opinions or beliefs need to be robust enough to engage with alternative points of view.
Lmao, you can contrive a vague technology connection to any twitter screenshot thread.
Daniel Barnes
I think the issue might be that most people on this board lack the technical knowledge to engage in salient technology discussion. Memes and politics have no barriers to entry to have an opinion on. I don't know how'd you'd solve that issue aside from putting a programming challenge in the captcha or something but shitposts are an essential part of the Jow Forums experience. You probably just need to suck it up in this case.
Colton Sanchez
If mods would do their jobs we wouldn't have a problem.
Wyatt Mitchell
>The mods on this board are pretty good at removing off topic content if you flag it. If you haven't noticed; you're on Jow Forums.
Levi Rivera
Nigger has been used as a throwaway term since Jow Forums's inception, nigger. You're missing out on on-topic, non-troll, non-Jow Forums answers only because they're probably posted by an oldfag.
Isaac Richardson
Get gassed you tranny nigger kike.
Carson Bell
At least they aren't tripfags.
Parker Garcia
>problem Lol nice try lefty.
Carter Evans
Sounds like you've internalized racism. Don't worry, the white people are here to stand up for you.
Ayden Torres
Wearing a political identity like a tripcode is even more irritating.
Grayson Torres
>using term incel unironically You have to go back.
It's a gatekeeping mechanism to keep out those who are still too attatched to emotional impulse. If you don't realize this it's time to stop posting and start reading.
>how do we fix the /gpol/ problem? You don't. Mods could if they existed.
Joseph Murphy
Mod and janitors just need to do their jobs, and delete off-topic garbage when it comes up. Then Jow Forumsshitters would eventually get bored and move on. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
Kayden Adams
>reddit spacing >openly supporting censorship You have to go back
Julian Martinez
Just ban posting from windows and android devices, most Jow Forumstards will filter themselves.
Luke James
leave this website, said problem does not exist
Nolan Howard
anyone that says "folk" has never had their power out for very long
Joseph Torres
>i filter out tranny nigger kike gas Jow Forums is not your safespace
Christian Thomas
I did this spacing before reddit was even a thing. I did it in my emails.
I dont like censorship. But i dont like off-topic racism either. Pol is there for a reason. This is a technology board you fuck.
Ryder Howard
>I did this spacing before reddit was even a thing. I did it in my emails.
the funny thing about reddit spacing is it's mostly only hard core reddit fags who know what it means. the rest of us call it double-spacing, and we do it because we like it.
Chase Torres
You should just leave and go to some politically correct, heavily moderated tech forum.. Jow Forums was always like this, and it will only change if SJW mods start banning racist posters (which might start happening with Hiroshima wanting more ad moneys). The main appeal of this site is being anonymous and therefore being able to speak your mind.
And for you idiots who think im offended by this stuff or im wanting political correctness, fuck no
I just want the board back guys, its gotten really off topic lately because people cant put their politics aside to discuss tech, its always gotta be about race and tranny politics which i actually do not care for. At all. It just annoys me more than anything that its mindless dumb 'fuck blacky fuck tranny' droning. Now everyone go back to your containment boards.
If you had read the OP properly, you would have read that none of this offends me. It only annoys me. Jow Forumstards are bloat.
I expected this to happen. Ive been on here long enough to know how a thread like this goes. Only turned off my filter to check the fucking 96 replies but my filter did a pretty good job at showing me people that actually have something decent to say, and are posing a solution to these idiots.
>Jow Forums was always like this That's a lie. There was definitely a time before you hyper-political fucks went around shoving your shit in every damn thread.
David Phillips
Read the sticky bucko All posting has to be related to tech.
