I'm pretty sure the ToS only exists for legal reasons, don't make a big deal out of this. It doesn't mean the admins won't ban people for discrimination. Nothing suggests their stance has changed.
It's always the same trolls. Who would read the ToS and say "ok guess racism is back on the table".
Then why the change?
Nothing was changed, it's a new document.
That is a change
If it’s not a big deal then it shouldn’t be too hard to mention you can’t discriminate against someone’s religion/race/gender/etc.
These things are a big enough deal they need to be removed but suddenly “it’s not a big deal” when people want them back.
A) They weren't removed, this is a new document
B) As other comments mention, discrimination and harassment is covered in section 5
C) Consider messaging the admins about it rather than push the alert button and causing needless drama
It’s not covered in section 5. Go read it.
So section 5 covers all the same areas of harassment as the previous code of conduct? These are all bannable still on lemmy.world?
How would a user of an internet forum exhibit discrimination?
