What are the taboo subjects?

I hesitate to say

For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

"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.

Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.

Anything pro-suicide

I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.

People of color seem to perform amazing in athletics compared to other races in America (see: American football, basketball). Makes me think that Americans hyper-evolved their slaves by selective breeding. Unfortunate and extremely unethical, but maybe possible? Idk.

On lemmy?

• Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)

• 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)

All drugs should be legal and regulated.

Is it worth it, drug warriors? All the unnecessary deaths at the hands of police/gangs/cartels and unregulated drugs of a unknown potency? Was it worth sacrificing all our civil liberties on the vain funeral pyre that is the United States of America?

When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?

Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?

Will drug users ruin sober people's lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?

Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill?

NO!

Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists... that's who. And we are not them

Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.

Get fucked prohibitionists. Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.

Now playing The War on Drugs - Red Eyes

• "Why doesn't this site have more in common with reddit, which it's more or less 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

how meat is treated.

The left lane, and how no, it's not for going as fast as you want to drive.

Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.

approaching literally any ideology from first principals

"I've asked ChatGPT about xyz" , and "how to use chatGPT for xyz" in my experience gets me downvotes fast.

People are quick to presume you have no ability to fact check anything and that you will be following its advice blindly, (which mind you - you were never asking for in the first place) instead of asking a human, ever ( for example about medical conditions but not limited to that topic). People presume you are trying to eliminate the human factor out of the equation completely and are quick to remind you of your sins, god forbid you ever use a chatbot to test ideas, ask for a summary on a topic so you can expand your research later or get creative with it in any way. If you do, most people don't like to know.

Communism & Palestine

Animal rights

Kernel contributions

Anything veganism (positive)

You first!

Marxism, depending on the audience.

gun rights

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.

Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.

Roko's basilisk, if you run an online forum for “futurist” dumbasses.

Women create most of their own issues and then blame men for not fixing them.

Obviously I'm not saying all their problems cause men are pretty fucked but most of the problems women complain about are because of other women.

Especially when it comes to beauty standards.

I feel like I’m not good with words, so when I criticize popular things like Baldur’s gate 3 or Witcher 3 I usually get downvoted

Israel

Men’s rights

Boys being left behind in school

With women, bathroom talk. With the boys we always talk about shit and piss and crack each other up. But mention anything related to that around a girl, she'll look at you as if you killed her dog.

Try talking about Return to Office around the workplace and watch everyone get quiet real quick
