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 feel that it’s not something that the community would or should immediately balk at

    This happened to you recently, right? This post itself is getting a negative reaction because we can tell, and it comes across as whiny.

    People have opinions on and offline. You can contradict them, which is okay, but people are never going to like it, and that’s okay. Lemmy has a strongly left-wing, open-source bent, and reacts accordingly.

      I’m trying to gauge where the community has landed as of late, because like I said in the original post, there have been big shifts like opinions on Democrats and in regards to your questions, I’ve experience some strange intersection between misogyny and pro-transness.
