A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers
I’d say people worrying about Karma.
this /s
I get the objective need for the /s in this particular context, but we absolutely should add “using /s when the sarcasm should be obvious for anyone with basic reading comprehension skills” to the list
I don’t agree,
/sis immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.Also, really often something that is “obvious sarcasm” for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet
Maybe internet forums aren’t the best place for people that can’t recognize context.
Why should we exclude neurodiverse people from a space when it’s easy enough to make it accessible?
Needlessly censoring words like sex. It wasn’t necessary on Reddit and it certainly isn’t necessary now.
I agree. It’s absolutely absurd that would say something along the lines of “Fuck, I got r*ped, what do I do?”
I’m of the opinion that you shouldn’t censor any words. If you feel the need to censor it, then just don’t say it. If you want to discuss it, then be able to say it. You should be able to say something like “X called Y a nigger”.
I find it absolutely mind blowing that people are generally accepting that as okay on most social media platforms.
I can only assume that people don’t understand why it was brought in on YouTube and TikTok in the first place because so many people do it when it isn’t remotely necessary. If you make your living posting on social media, then fair enough, I understand you need to fall inline with the rules of the platform. But why the hell would you self censor posts you don’t make money from? Utterly ridiculous.
All they know is that The Algorithm won’t show their posts if they use those words. How anyone can understand that and not see how incredibly fucked up that is, though, I don’t know.
Censorship like that was introduced to make the platform appealing to advertisers. I’d say just don’t give power over how to run the platform to advertisers.
Censoring inoffensive words like sex.
Yes, thank you. Excessive prudishness and self censoring is always an indicator to me that a community is going a weird direction.
Making all these posts on Lemmy be about another site.
The community won’t flourish if the only thing people are talking about is their social-media ex.
Calling everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi or fascist. It’s already starting.
You do spend a lot of time parroting made up things about people.
Maybe don’t walk the duck walk if you don’t want to get called a Nazi?
Thing is, Im not. Its just normal shit like “we should heavily punish companies who hire illegal immigrants”
Thats no where near being a Nazis.

There’s some terf shit.
Like grow some empathy. Hormone treatment isn’t for transitioning. It’s for reducing morbidity in patients and is prescribed on that basis. Fear mongering side effects is the same as poo pooing chemo because it makes your hair fall out.
If you are sad that your bigot opinions get you called a nazi, maybe it’s on you not to share these opinions. I don’t go chewing my clients ear off about startrek, it’s the same principal they aren’t a welcoming audience.
Maybe if you are still going to talk about these things, contrast the things with middling results to the things with the best results, not some boogeyman unknowns.
To be a TERF, I would have to be a radical feminist, which I’m not.

Claiming BLM protests were violent? Verifiably false and propaganda.
A dozen people died. A lot more were injured. How were they not violent?
Actually, scratch that. Define violence.
I don’t need to educate you, do it yourself.
Per capita, more people are assaulted at protests in front of abortion clinics. Or on public transit. It’s propaganda and parroting it is the reason people will call you a nazi.
I didn’t ask you to educate me. I asked you what you thought violence is. It certainly doesn’t line up with the rest of us.
