The lemmy.world thread reminds me of a similar “racism on the fediverse” thread, and the occasional thread about misogyny (dismissive, uninterested and/or personally offended)

Policing just tone is how you get very polite and nicely-worded conversations about exterminating untermenschen “human biodiversity”

EDIT: I see that the “fediverse” link for posts has been removed.

It’s still there, just not when the post/comment comes from the instance you’re on. Even though the post is to a lemmy.ml community, it’s from lemmy.world so that’s where the fediverse link goes to.

I feel like saying “I have to do this before anything else” might very well end with me doing nothing

There’s also something that looks like pink Morse code, near the top

At the same time that’s one of the bad parts of anonymous discussion. You never know if someone’s an expert or a random person guessing (on ELI5), engaging in good faith or purposely trolling, etc.

The other day I heard a random (young) girl say “what the sigma” and I had trouble keeping it together

Yeah smart kids can be very immature

Unless you have mods that aren’t afraid to drive out the assholes

The correct response to my post should have been “that’s probably satire”.

Isn’t that what both replies basically say?

Neoliberalism =/= liberalism and especially not leftism (or just “the opposite of conservatism”), which I assume is what Colbert means

“Hi everybody!”

You can check the modlog

Hm doesn’t work for me (in-browser)

Ah yes, the “you can say the most vile shit you want, just remember to be polite about it” ideology

… because community mods will be forced to moderate comments and posts coming from all instances, which is unreasonable to expect from them. They wouldn’t be able to ban anyone because they can just make a new account on some troll instance.

There is also just a dbzer0 link to this post (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5239822) that you should be able to send to yourself. I can’t imagine Voyager wouldn’t let you access that.

There is nothing you can say about it that is funny or clever. We have heard it all before. Just don’t.

This applies to so many things. For the one person it’s a spontaneous one-time joke, for the other it’s every time they meet someone new.

It’s ‘easy’, bacterium is Latin and mitochondrion is Greek

We trained on this a lot. Also yelling “swim” because apparently the shock of sudden cold water can make you forget to do that.
