The extension shinigami eyes is back.
Quick context: the extension allows you to see which profiles are supportive or transphobic and it wasn’t updated for 2 years.
I was worried it was abandoned. Hopefully we can get Ecosia and Lemmy supported and have it expanded it to cover racist/sexist profiles soon. I would like to donate to the developer if I could.
It is my favourite Firefox extension because it would protect you from seeing all the hate online and prevent unintentionally supporting a slimy transphobe😡 and it literally reveals to you people’s true colours.

This seems like a dystopic tool for exerting social control. Better not step outside the lines, or the algorithm will make you the wrong color. Will this comment itself turn me red?
the internet is just stuff on various computers, most of which are privately owned - imagine someone complaining that their free speech rights override your right to control your property, because you took down a note stuck to your door. “dystopic tool for social control” dude go meet your neighbors and make some connections that matter instead of worrying about forcing yourself onto as many strangers’ screens as possible. so fuckin dramatic.
I am fine with anyone blocking me. I absolutely agree that doesn’t somehow ‘infringe on my free speech’ or whatever. My concern was about self censorship, social pressures, enforcing taboo within communities that would use tools such as this. I think the real victims of labelling ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people by color will end up being the members of the very communities that embrace this kind of idea. It does absolutely remind me of an episode of Black Mirror. I think it’s a very ‘dark path’ kind of thing, whether people might find that dramatic or not.
“go meet your neighbors and make some connections that matter” - is pretty condescending. My neighbours are nice. Danish woman and a Polish guy. But then again, I can’t see their ‘color’, so who really knows.
It’s a reporting system used by the community. It’s no different from getting banned by being toxic on the internet.
Free speech doesn’t give others the right to put vulnerable people closer to genocide.
It’s a reporting system used by the community.
You know what ? I have absolutely no faith in the community when these arguments are discussed. I’ve seen too many often people labelled as “transphobic” or “nazist” by someone just because they were not agreeing with something or had different ideas.
If you have the ability, please flag me red in your system.

Never heard of that extension. Neat idea, but seems open to abuse by bad actors on both sides.
Wish they said more about vetting reports.
Exactly, who determines which one you are?
The community does.
I won’t be impressed by this extension until it shows the user’s remaining lifespan too
Well, imagine you don’t read terms and conditions and end up with half of your remaining lifespan.
Chances are if someone is marked red they’re likely to be antivaxx.
Whoa. How relevant and interesting to people
ITT people worry their hate speech won’t be seen
Yeah free speech absolutists suck! Try criticizing their right wing ideas and watch them become hypocritical.
Hate speech needs to be punished because it is the first step of dehumanization.
i don’t think it even rises to the bar of a free speech issue, honestly. it’s akin to throwing a tantrum because someone took your jerkass note off the corkboard, it was a courtesy to let it stay there in the first place.
So much negativity in these comments.
Having read the guidelines, I think they’re pretty reasonable.
I’m sure it’s not perfect, but this could help people. A trans relative of mine has been mistreated by specific doctors, and being able to signal to others to stay away from these person could really help others.
Right now, the worst that can happen is that someone is wrongly flagged and a small minority of people dislike them, but the good it can do is greater.

I am sure that you understand that this sentence without any additional context means nothing.
I thought it was fairly clear, but I’ll elaborate.
If a trans person is discriminated against by their doctor, then having a mechanism to warn other trans people away from that doctor so they don’t waste their time or go through unpleasant experiences would be useful.
Same can be said of therapists etc.
To be honest we should probably have a way of publicly rating medical professionals in general, regardless of whether you are trans or not, but trans people probably need it more than the average person.

Ok, I will be brutally explicit: this person think having been mistreated because he is a biological male thinking to be a woman and the doctor said that he cannot menstruate (or flipping the sides she is a biological woman thinking to be a man and was said she cannot have prostate cancer) or because the doctor mistreated him since the doctor is an asshole and/or did big and clear medical mistakes ?
Because I imagine that you understand that in the first case, the problem is not the doctor saying a truth while in the second case the doctor should be banned from the profession in any case because this doctor is a danger to everyone not only your trans relative.

Here I agree 1000% with you, a bad doctor is a bad doctor irregardless who the patient is.
I’ll get back to you on that, but just to be clear transphobia on a medical level is more about gaslighting trans people and / or denying them the treatment they need.
The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans rights, spread misinformation or personally deny them a referral to get the treatment they need.
Wait times for trans-specific procedures can be astronomical compared to other procedures in the same country. Think years in wait time.
I don’t think most trans people complain about doctors mentioning what genitals or conditions they may have in 1-1 conversations.
All of that said, I am not trans myself, so I’m not the right person to ask. It’s best to ask trans people themselves about their experiences in the healthcare industry, but they have unique challenges.

Wait, if a doctor refuse a legitimate treatment to a person he must be banned from the profession. That the person who had the treatment refused is a trans is completely irrelevant.
The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans rights, spread misinformation
I think that what a doctor does in its free time is somewhat irrelevant as long as it do not interfere with his job, but I see your point.

Then this doctor is a danger to everyone, trans or not, and need to be banned from the profession.

If the trans-specific procedures is a life-saving one, then it is wrong on so many level, else maybe it is just a problem of resource allocation.

Me neither, I simply think that a trans is just another human being, just with a different set of problems, and must be treated this way. As long as trans don’t try to impose me their ideas I simply think live and let live.
