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

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years 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

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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 😞

[–] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 16 points 2 years ago

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˜‚

[–] dlhextall@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years 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

[–] GadgetGirlOz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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?

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The dislikes are only the ones in the middle

[–] GadgetGirlOz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years 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.

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i hate cops because most of them are assholes

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Encode1307@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like you may have hit a nerve

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I know. It's great!

LOL

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

[–] gsa5556@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check out !lemmymoment@lemmy.world to critique and playfully mock those type of lemmings.

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Huxleywaswrite@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years 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.
