bigotry in religion? thats old news, isp blocking based on those bigotries, well thats old news too but somehow this is a new level of stupid and awful. great.
Grindr pre-installed though, right?
So, no bible there?
Only time I remember anyone blocking nudity in the Bible was Satan inciting that in the garden.
Satan?
Yeah, the story goes adam and eve lived in the garden without sin, without clothing, and without the mental capacity to think of nudity as sin.
The only sin there was, is not to eat the apple. Satan then convinced eve to eat the apple, and god was an asshole for denying her. So thats what eve did, and comitted the first sin. After that adam and eve saw each other nude as a sin, and for the first time felt the need to cover up.
Thus, thats whats being referenced here.
As I recall the story, the tempter was only ever identified as the Serpent. They were even cursed to always go on their belly afterwards, which I don’t recall Satan doing.
Depending on your mythology, Satan might have instigated that; but I don’t think it was ever established in the story
Yeah, but the serpent WAS satan in disguise.
That’s a common interpretation but it’s not actually confirmed anywhere in the bible that the serpent was Satan
If you have to self-police like that, your followers don’t believe in the morals you preach.
Bet you anything a lot of people using it will be parents forcing their kids to
Nah, if I have kids (once the economy allows me to do so without being on the verge of bankruptcy), I’m giving them a Karri Messenger 1 to start out with, then the Messenger 2: https://karri.io/collections/all
Then when they’re older: Light Phone: https://www.thelightphone.com/
If they absolutely need a phone like the other kids, or when they’re 16-18, they’re getting a phone with GrapheneOS on it.
Reminds me of being asked how I keep from murdering and raping people, since I do not believe in an eternal damnation.
scary people, if religion is only thing that keeps them from doing that, which that question implies.
How do you hold back the nonstop compulsion to commit horrible crimes which we all feel constantly??
What do you mean being a good person is its own reward?!?
I think this network will primarily be used by parents to keep their kids from being tempted into sin or discovering that queer people exist
They’re gonna be shocked to find out that Jesus shared his body with 12 other men.
One of which spent an awful lot of time literally cuddling Jesus.
Kissing Jesus on the cheek is totally not gay my dudes! In face, if you wanna kill people who are like Jesus, just kiss em on the cheek! That’ll show the police officers that you’re an American born cisgender hetero white dude who is totally not gay and will send Trump haters to die./s
or discovering that queer people exist
So they’ll never know that people of the same sex fuck each other and continue to perpetuate hate towards them. Now that is sin.
Except for some who just cheat with people of their own gender and live in extreme guilt wondering why they keep doing it.
If you have to self police like that, you might have a gay porn problem.
If history is any indicator … lol
The thought is it is the sick that need a doctor
And Jesus says literally everyone is sick and the only cure is to embrace selfless love for all. So why are they pretending they can fix it with draconian authoritarian dipshittery?
Oh, right, it’s because they don’t care about Christ, they’re just leaning on the social leverage provided by espousing a Christian identity. My mistake.
draconian authoritarian dipshittery
So long as it is voluntary, I’m alright with it. Let people choose what’s best for themselves. If it attempts to get codified into law, that’s a different matter.
Is it voluntary? How voluntary? Is it voluntary like, something a random stranger might decide is best for them, or voluntary like someone was raised by an abusive religious family so this seems normal to them despite science proving it wrong? Voluntary like someone convinced them they’d go to eternal damnation if they didn’t go along with it?
Voluntary as in I can choose a different mobile operator.
You can, but can everyone? We’re talking about a demographic that only exists because they’re hypocrites who enforce their religion of peace through violence at every level of society. I don’t care if you think they have a choice because I already know how they feel like they have no other choice at all, because of the forces which shaped their worldview.
There’s nothing voluntary about it for the target audience, and that’s the only reason it could ever possibly succeed.
can everyone?
That’s a different question with all the laws passed since 9/11 revolving around random people being able to easily get a phone with no ID, no bank account, etc like they are going to the store to get a gallon of milk. The patriot act can die in a fire. If you want to affect change to make smuggling an unrestricted phone to someone in a cult, the patriot act has to go.
I’m not certain that spending time on networks that are “void of lgbt, void of the trans” is the doctor that these people need to cure them of their transphobia and homophobia.
People not like me are evil! Being constantly hateful about nature … their “god’s” own invention. How blasphemous.
Right, but their mentality is that it is a disease. Also I think the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies here.
Their mentality is wrong, and being lgbt neither needs preventing nor curing.
Thank you
I never said it was right, it’s just thier mentality
Medical experts have come around to homosexuality not being a disease since the 70’s (in USA) so I’d hope the mentality you speak of is diminished now.
By repeating those claims you are perpetuating those harms, regardless of what you “really believe.”
No.
It’s good to understand why people, even those with whom we disagree, are making the decisions they are making.
I’m sure you would rather those who disagree with you seek to understand why you make the choices you do etc.
I’m a firm believer in know your enemy
And weekly affirmation that what their ingesting is real. You may have a point.
Freud would give you a long diatribe about the distinction between Id, Ego, and Superego.
You can believe a thing is wrong and still do it. Ask any smoker. You can do a thing and wrestle with the psychological consequences afterwards. Ask anyone who has ever felt guilty. You can plan to behave a certain way and become derailed by impulses or anxiety. Ask anyone who has ever succumbed to fear or pain.
Self-policing is a logical response to an illogical/immoral impulse. Tossing cookies out of the cabinet and ice cream out of the fridge is the first step towards dieting. Cancelling your credit card is a technique to curb impulsive spending. How is this any different?
Freud would
Can we please not. I don’t bring up hylomorphism when I talk about physics, so can you please give psychology a similar dignity by treating it like an actual science?
I don’t bring up hylomorphism when I talk about physics
Psychology isn’t a question of physics. The complex machine that is the human brain isn’t some single-action lever with a discrete well-defined input/output relationship. Neither is the human brain some binary circuit governed by logic gates and trivially deterministic sequences.
At some point, you have to approach psychology experimentally. You can’t just wave your hands and assume you know how the black box of the mind is going to work. And you can’t dismiss the accumulated experimental data because you don’t like the person who spearheaded its compilation.
And you can’t dismiss the accumulated experimental data
I don’t. I actually read psychology meta-analyses about accumulated experimental data, and relatively few individual papers are using terms like “superego” (and I can find two meta-analyses, one of which is just describing psychoanalysis). Even then, it’s within a modern framework of psychoanalysis which has evolved over 100 years, not regurgitating what they think “Freud would say”. You’re citing Freud specifically by literally saying “here’s what Freud would say”, so don’t strawman me by pretending I’m anti-experimental data or whatever the fuck.
Psychology isn’t a question of physics.
I’m not saying it is; it’s an emergent phenomenon in a chain thereof. I’m saying it is a science that deserves to actually be taken seriously, not mired in “here’s what someone who barely understood the field as we understand it today would’ve said” like that holds literally any weight about why people behave the way they do.
Your vibrations in the ether seem distressed my friend. A nice warm cup of tea will help re-balance your humours.
God. Damn. It. A cup of tea sounds really refreshing right now, and I’m going to have one. Stupid science bitches finally made I more smarter.

Checks out
This can only come from the banished cultists of the colonies, right?
I can see kids finding ways to circumvent it in a few hours of release.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
i am waiting for a phone network that will exclusively allow lgbt content
I imagine CSAM content will be exempt from this block.
I for one am not sure this isn’t just some galaxy brain chess shit to entrap said freaks on part of some good Samaritan.
Why would they need to block that kind of content to begin with? Wouldn’t the Christians using their network simply not even try to access that material? It’d be like me remodeling my house to keep great white sharks out of my bathtub.
It’s tempting to shrug this off as not my business, but if this kind of entity becomes widespread enough, then you can get into situations where a future government, more radical when than what we have today, could feasibly mandate people to use these types of networks
even without that there are people who will be forced to use this, like kids of religious parents
Yeah, unfortunately as hard as I try I can’t see many good ways to protect kids from religious parents as fully as I’d like without too broad of a law. I think that protections specifically with respect to gender and sex could be implemented under the same sort of umbrella as other forms of child abuse though, at least.
Well there’s been this kind of nonsense in Holland for decades. https://www.kliksafe.nl/ It was an invention of the super strict Calvinist Christian community. But it never coloured outside those lines all those years.
Here in the states, it’s a test run. This will be forced on all Americans.
Yeah, some countries have better disease control methods than others ;)
But Jesus loved hanging out with whores.
And yet when I do it…
Yep Jesus was wildly feminist for his time. And the tldr of his teachings are “be nice to each other”. Which many followers seem to forget
John 13:34-35
I read a book about this subject. The author argued it was a new commandment, not an additional one. Because if you love one another then you would never break the prior ten commandments. Makes sense.
How do I sign up for the opposite of this?
You’re on it
I bet their block list has some real gold on it. Probably some pretty messed up stuff.
LGBT girl here so me too. Would very much like to see hot LGBT girls being LGBT, am poised and ready to sign up
