The subjects that you can’t even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.
Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.
The moderators have the power therefor when they do something rude it actually isn’t rude. In fact you are rude for suggesting that they are being rude, and deserve punishment.
It’s funny how power works.
The left lane, and how no, it’s not for going as fast as you want to drive.
Thank you, even if the some people believe there is a specific lane to constantly edge ahead of poor slow drivers, that is not the ideal lane to be the fastest car in. People merge on from left a lot more than you notice. I live in a city that has a nearly equal amounts of merges from left.
Community College isn’t good.
Why not?
If you’ve been forced into 13 years of remedial schooling, Community College is too similar to the “Cs get degrees” attitude. I’m tired of being told not to do things because it’s hard. The only things worth doing are hard.
I mean…that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.
An unimpressive teacher, but that’s the pattern. I once tried redoing a math class as a CC because I wasn’t comfortable with the possible gaps that would come from being in the remedial version at HS. I had to take a placement test, tested out and then I insisted that I wanted to take it anyway, I was told it had filled up. It somehow had four openings later that night when I checked of anyone had dropped online.
Ideally, I’d like to redo certain classes in a CC, but not accumulate credits so I can apply as a freshman at a real college and get involved in UROP.
- “Why doesn’t this site have more in common with reddit, which it’s literally a clone of?”
- Can’t bring up Trans people existing (without a weirdo downvoting you, of course)
- Can’t be critical of… a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and called a Genocide Supporter
- Don’t even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear folks…
- Lemmy is, at times, a bit of an echo chamber
Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL. Even if I agree with most of what they’re saying, they manage to say it in the most neckbeardy way possible.
OOL on hexbear people
As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They’re funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.
Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.
I don’t think this one should be as controversial as it is.
On lemmy?

Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit

I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually

Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)
+ Here’s video without text summary
I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.
There’s just something off-putting about a text based forum getting video content.
-
We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.
-
Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?
- Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
- The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.

Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.
I’d call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It’s a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.
Anything pro-suicide
Medically assisted suicide is pretty widely accepted in Canada, in my experience. Pro non medically assisted suicide or young suicide is different, maybe.
Non medically assisted
Oh that is a good one. Thanks.
“ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly”
Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it’s brilliant.
Depends what you use it for. If you are trying to provide something informational, I do not trust chat gpt.
If you use it to respond to work emails because they force communication for the sake of communication, then its fine.
This is my answer too. It’s crazy how much hate a tool can get
I’d probably also develop a short temper about spanners too if they were being shoved in my face by tech companies as hard as chat bots are
We’re excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!
I don’t see why my headphones need a sp-
Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!
Okay, but that’s not wh-
We’re proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don’t ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.
Spanners?

religion, abortion, politics and economics.
Avoid discussing rape too.
Economics doesn’t seem as big of a thing as the other 3. Anyone who’s nerdy enough to talk economics without making it political could probably have a pretty good discussion. I vote we change it to Elephants. Religion, Abotion, Politics, Elephants, or Rape.
The fact i can tell you using economic theory its a good idea to make people unemployed as the cost of living increases, that rent controls are a really bad idea, and even ignoring profit its probably wise to increase the costs of tickets to shows and events makes me very unpopular
Economics is poorly understood by the vast majority of Americans. To most people, it is purely political.
So what’s your favourite kind of rape?
Consenting… discussions on economics
