Do you think one would have to be on a network with at least 5 million users to get this sort of support as opposed to a smaller one, perhaps specifically oriented towards this sort of stuff? The latter is as legal as before I think.

If you join the GaySupportForum, it’s really obvious why. That could be problematic or even dangerous for someone.
If you join Facebook, it doesn’t signal anything because everyone is on Facebook. Or Instagram. Or TikTok. Or any of the other called out platforms.

I said "perhaps". Just join a social network with less than 5m users without "gay" in its name then. This attitude of trying to help a monopoly and pretend it's good just baffles me.

And your argument is that you’re ok with the general harm these cause to most people for the marginal possible benefit for a very small minority.
Notwithstanding the fact that many so-called marginalized minorities are also terribly bullied online.
Social networks, for all their faults, are not pure evil. They can be beneficial for some people.
