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.
- "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.
Yeah it seems the topic is irrelevant. They'll eventually just start yammering about communism, Linux and ublock. It's hard to have a conversation on here that doesn't get sidelined by those things. I can't imagine these people carrying on a normal conversation in the real world, and I don't think they understand that the world exists outside of those narrow interests.
Like OP will say they hate MS Teams. Person will say stop using Microsoft. OP will say, I'd love to but my government employer is an MS shop. Person will say then quit your job. K...
It's either very sheltered people who've not worked or interacted in 'the mainstream' or, really young naive people who think that your FOSS convictions will stand up against the need to earn a living.
I prefer it to Reddit still, but it gets a bit tedious.
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.
As a lesbian trans person I'll be glad to not hear those words said about me thanks.
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)

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.

Close enough. Ban him.
Communism & Palestine
For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East
R.A.P.E
religion, abortion, politics and economics.
Avoid discussing rape too.
