I just want to chime in and agree.
Treating any demographic like they’re too fragile to hear a clean joke (not hateful or malicious) is insulting in its own way.
Anyone who is offended by these needs to calm down and remember that it’s ok to not take everything so seriously.
None of these are hateful in any way. The one about mods definitely has some targeted sass to it, but that’s pretty light.
I align with the majority of the politics of “reddit left”, but I also have a sense of humor, so I don’t claim the pearl-clutchers.
It doesn’t even have to be a touchy subject.
I’ve seen plenty of complaints about lemmy.ml being the worst offender for this, removing stuff that is so innocuous that you could show your grandmother at church, because someone in charge found a contorted way to be offended by it. (or worse, because it was critical of China or something)
I think users will ultimately find the path of least resistance, and the least heavy-handed instances will have a healthier growth.
Thank god. I’ve been annoyed by their toxic nonsense.
This is like when the one insufferable dude at a party leaves on his own, and now the host doesn’t have to say something.
This should be upvoted as the most concise and simple explanation in this comment section.

Not the main point, but this is the first time I’ve seen “allowlisted”. Lol
…are they trying to avoid saying whitelisted because of the word “white”?
Is it weird to have subscribed even though I don’t pirate (yet)? The community seems good, and I might take the plunge eventually.
…ok, if you think it would help. Now what?
(edit: oh, you meant the images)
Am I missing something? The community you linked only has one post.
I’ve noticed the user you’ve mentioned reposting some of my greentext posts to similar communities on different instances (and vis versa), but that seems harmless. Maybe even a needed service.
