I mean, one of my favorite foods is a Reese’s peanut cup. I wouldn’t exactly call that nutritionally dense.

I don’t think we’ve got a ton of room to judge here.

I am not referring to those with legitimate phobias, obviously. I am referring to pop culture bandwagoners who follow trends without reflecting on whether or not they’re even enjoying their participation. Like people who “hate the word moist,” as I mentioned, which is not something that anyone actually legitimately organically does.

I’m not sure the situation is improved by a faux authority figure coming in and shouting “we don’t allow slap fighting here!” They’re assumedly adults, so like… let them slap fight and just deal with the eye rolls from onlookers?

I guess I just don’t understand what benefit this kind of moderation is offering and I believe it’s a holdover from the corporate sanitized social media we’re used to that we can and should eschew.

I can’t speak for others, but I’d rather scroll past and ignore bickering adults than a flood of “removed by moderator.”

Not necessarily objecting or complaining, just expressing a viewpoint. Cheers.

edit: For clarity, I have not checked the modlogs so i don’t know the discourse that happened here. Obviously if somebody is only posting in continual bad faith then that’s a detriment to the community and they and their posts should be removed. Things have nuance and context matters, so I’m not trying to make any blanket statements here and acknowledge my potential specific ignorance in this scenario.

Equally as scary as hearing there’s a carebear under my bed. I’ve done theater, I’ve known clowns; dorky James who just wants to make somebody smile isn’t a threatening character and it’s so boring watching people pretend he is just because a meme told them to.

Being afraid of clowns is like being afraid of Sesame Street. Like most pop culture opinions such as pretending to dislike the word “moist,” I will just never understand the appeal.

This isn’t reddit, we don’t have advertisers we have to appeal to. Do we really need this kind of nannying? Can’t adults have adult discussions, even if they’re arguments that get heated?

I didn’t see the removed content, admittedly, but unless it’s overtly hate speech I can’t understand the need to moderate Lemmy as if it was corporate social media. Like isn’t the whole point that it isn’t?

I’ve been to a Weird Al concert. Nobody works harder than Al, I have zero doubt he’d be a vastly better employee than I am.

Fr just try being sad when this is in the room:

Anything memetic is a meme. This has been shared organically with no monetary incentive by users for the sake of amusement. That makes it a meme.

You’re thinking of an image macro. You’re right, this isn’t an image macro.
