Trans community as well. This website has really confirmed the stereotype of the trans furry programmer and it’s great

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good points. I should probably add pro trans rights, and tech guy memes on this starterpack. You helped me realize I conflated Hentai and furry, which are two separate categories, and should be separately acknowledged.

Hentai and furry, which are two separate categories, and should be separately acknowledged.

that's right

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Dang, i didn't know that was a requirement, i'm only checking 2 out of the 3 boxes, furry and programmer

I'll show myself out 😞

Something about defederation, definitely. Seems like every second day I'm seeing another post about defederation like it's a more core feature than posting.

Also blindly hating windows os πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Blindly? I thought having eyes was the cause of the hate?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hate towards Hexbear and Lemmygrad

The occasional CASM poster asshole

The shadow side (burggit.moe)

Also, Trash talking each other and then casually switching topic to good anime recommendations

hmmm... reddit.

probably the vastly wild and extreme political views and pretending conservatives don't exist.

assuming everyone is american

seeing a thread of people talking about something you have no idea what

it's called lemmy because it's filled with lemmings

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmings was a great fucking game back in the day. And still is. Sorry to side rail this.

One of lemmy’s biggest hates: apple products

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy doesn’t like Libre Office? That’s one I didn’t know. Is it because it’s not as good as Microsoft Office?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dislikes are only the ones in the middle

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the explanation. Not sure why people are downvoting so much, was asking a genuine question.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

There is an obnoxious love for communism and hate for capitalism?

What other edgy things is Lemmy into?

Oh, they love to hate on cars and roads, for some reason.

There's also that weird hypocrisy where they hate cops but love unions, but they don't understand that the reason they hate cops is because of unions.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I get the car / road hate. Cars sucks. And devoting so much space to roads and parking sucks.

The US doesnt have small community/ villages - it has sprawling parking lots and ways to get to the next one.

There's a fundamental issue with the way we plan our cities. We plan them around cars, when we should be planning them around people.

i hate cops because most of them are assholes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And they're asshole because unions protect the bad ones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like you may have hit a nerve

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I know. It's great!

LOL

I'm trying to think of what other things I missed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Unions aren't why people should hate cops are. Cops are why people should hate cops.

Not surprising Mr enlightened centrisism is a bootlicker though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Check out [email protected] to critique and playfully mock those type of lemmings.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like few are in on the joke because almost all those posts are rather heavily downvoted.
