I have a feeling someone is going to reply with a hostile response, but my root stance at an OLD is to support people being who they are and help people get together consensually to get it on.
As for the lack of existence of societal support for 'disadvantaged' individuals, have you seen the practically modern slave labour in prisons ?
Have you seen the homelessness and opioid epidemics that nothing is being done for ?
I would much rather help these folks before helping social media addicted upper middle class kids. They have enough help already.
Don't use American services then? Unless I'm missing something, you don't have to use any online dating platform at all, more so not one that is based in the United States.
I would say that most Americans want nothing to do with that in their bedrooms, but when we have to deal with that from our platforms we have to.
Can you point to anything substantial that supports this idea? The majority of Americans support same-sex marriage [1], and almost three-quarters of Americans (71%) said that being gay is morally acceptable [2].
Most Americans are liberal, which is why platforms move to ban hate mongers and extremists. Instagram doesn't care in the slightest about protecting LGBTQ folks. They just understand that most people don't want to participate in a hateful cesspit.
There is a reason that Truth Social and whatever right-wing trash app comes next will never gain any sort of mainstream traction, most people support deplatforming hate mongers.
