Congrats!

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.

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.

This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.

This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the “block community” option liberally.

I haven’t really decided where I stand on biotic.

This is a surprisingly logical argument

I’m just here to serve up nightmares

God I love Garak episodes

You should. He’s picturing it.

Damn it, this is better.

Yeah, but look at his face

I also would have accepted “an arcade floor”

And stop pronouncing it assimilate

Looks like an album cover.

What would this band be called?

Best I can do is upload memes and add to the load.

Can confirm. I tried to change my password this morning to be safe, but I couldn’t log back in. Deleted cookies for lemmy.world and was back in business.

Not the main point, but this is the first time I’ve seen “allowlisted”. Lol

…are they trying to avoid saying whitelisted because of the word “white”?

I mean, it’s not mandatory for gmail
