Anyone who is offended by these needs to calm down and remember that it’s ok to not take everything so seriously.
None of these are hateful in any way. The one about mods definitely has some targeted sass to it, but that’s pretty light.
I align with the majority of the politics of “reddit left”, but I also have a sense of humor, so I don’t claim the pearl-clutchers.
It doesn’t even have to be a touchy subject.
I’ve seen plenty of complaints about lemmy.ml being the worst offender for this, removing stuff that is so innocuous that you could show your grandmother at church, because someone in charge found a contorted way to be offended by it. (or worse, because it was critical of China or something)
I think users will ultimately find the path of least resistance, and the least heavy-handed instances will have a healthier growth.
Thank you. Had to edit my link a few times, but I think it’s working now too.

Convincing a captcha that I’m smarter than an AI is getting hard
My paranoid theory is that some people* don’t like the idea of social media not run by companies.
But look, he’s gone
Pretty much what I’ve been doing
There was a huge one on Lemmy.World, which was probably the 2nd most active community on lemmy, next to this one.
Lemmy.world has been the target of lots of attacks in general since Lemmy got popular, and the latest one was targeting that specific community with CSAM spam. After dealing with the attacks, the admins shut down the targeted community out of caution and haven’t reopened yet. I don’t blame them for being extra safe, but it sucks that we don’t have a good shitposting community now.
I’ve felt a little guilty about dropping dumb stuff in meme communities. I miss lemmyshitpost.
You are stronger than me. Be free
Remindme: another 20 years
Weirdly intense and antagonistic internet communists.
Like, picture that guy you avoided conversations with when you were 19.
Yep. I’m doing it right now.
You were one class off from greatness
I just want to chime in and agree.
Treating any demographic like they’re too fragile to hear a clean joke (not hateful or malicious) is insulting in its own way.
