I posted it 4 hours ago now and thankfully, it only seems like we have a couple of bigots. That's pretty good for the internet.

Lemmy always seems to be pretty good. Nice being on a social media platform where people can have compassion for others.

I'm still behaving myself like it's new furniture or something.

Lmao same. Or like having a new friend you don't act too weird around

[–] dis_honestfamiliar 14 points 11 months ago

My take is: Guess Lemmy just hasn't stretched out far enough.

I love that I refreshed the front page to find this meme at the top with "-2 new comments" but at least the whole thread hasn't been nuked.

Nice work mods, let's keep hateful comments to a minimum while still encouraging healthy discussion with people that might honestly not know better.

Lol. My only regret is not taking a screenshot of that one guy getting destroyed by like 20 different research papers

[–] FlyingSquid 18 points 11 months ago

He ignored those and kept replying the same nonsense to everyone else. Looks like he got hammered by a mod.

I think it's sad that all replies (especially positive, helpful ones) are automatically deleted too. They shouldn't be.

They're mostly pretty funny.
