- "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

I hesitate to say
Close enough. Ban him.
For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East
You are more than welcome to choose from one of the pre-prepared opinions that we have on offer here⦠no need to bring anything new to the table and confuse such an obviously binary subject.
Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.
For what it's worth, I've personally never found it controversial to talk about in person. And this includes in countries where it's a prosecuted crime.
Copying is not theft, artificial scarcity in the digital world is a tragedy, and I intentionally avoid paying middle-men distributors (like streaming services and record companies) for art.
"ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly"

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.

I agree, I was disappointed when I found out that the tr word is a slur, but that's just how it goes, you can't control people's perspective on words. The best that we can do is avoid them.
As a lesbian trans person I'll be glad to not hear those words said about me thanks.
