TechBites<p>Discord has updated its hateful conduct policy, explicitly banning deadnaming and misgendering trans individuals. The platform defines hate speech and prohibits expressions degrading or vilifying individuals or groups based on protected characteristics. Discord urges users to report violations and disengagement from spaces with hateful conduct. Notably, it forbids calls for discrimination, perpetuating negative stereotypes, and denying well-documented atrocities. This move aligns with recent updates from other platforms to safeguard trans users against targeted harassment. Discord introduced a warning system to enforce policies, differentiating violations based on severity and offering educational resources for users to rectify their actions.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/discord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>discord</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/lgbt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbt</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/harrasment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harrasment</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>equality</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a></p>
