The subjects that you can’t even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.
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.
- “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)
- Can’t be critical of… a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and getting called a Genocide Supporter
- Don’t even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear people…
OOL on hexbear people
Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.
On lemmy?

Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)

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.
-
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.

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.
Communism & Palestine
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.
“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?
North American term for English Wenches. I think Hoe’s are another tool misused in this manner.
British English term for wrenches.

I hesitate to say
Close enough. Ban him.
I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.
I wouldn’t mind switching to alternative libraries like Svelte or Solid but can’t imagine going back to plain Javascript for complex applications. It’s a pain in the ass, even with jQuery.
I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.
Angular my beloved…
What’s wrong with it if I may ask?
There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.
That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.
Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.
Can I have some examples of such things?
I’m not a huge fan of cancel culture either, but I’ve not paid a cent to any artists’ work that I love in my whole life, so I feel I can justify my position by holding up my hands and saying “hey, I don’t fund their lifestyle. Never have, never will.”
If anything, that was just an answer to the topic question, I don’t have anything about anyone’s human rights. Ah, by the way, I forgot! Of course! What I said also includes the necessity to explicitly state your words aren’t deliberately harmful if they can be seen as such by someone. (Again, it’s just an answer to the topic, I don’t bear any harmful intentions to anyone.)
For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

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.
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?
how meat is treated.
