I’ve found a few and they seem to be growing as of late:
- questions about Lemmy demographics
- anything discussing negative effects of porn
- benefits of AI
- negative effects of “wokeness”
- critiquing of individuals in trans community
- calling out men as predominant perpetrators of violence towards women
- anything US pro-conservative
One topic that I’ve noticed used to be a nonstarter and is now popular is anti-democrat conversation.
What are other nonstarters you’ve experienced?
EDIT: seemingly asking people what the community doesn’t want to talk about is a nonstarter
EDIT: calling out men as being predominate perps of violence is NOT a nonstarter and accepted within the community. A select few think that’s being a terf but they are wrong.
You’re saying that people don’t want to discuss how science could be wrong or not universally true?
Yeah people just hear, “a study shows XYZ” and think, oh truth. When in fact there’s a lot of manipulation that goes into these studies similar to statistics and there are constantly debates among scientists who disagree with each other’s assertions.
