We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
You can say whatever you want about whoever you want, but this is not the place to litigate those issues. This is “Linux Memes”, not “Linux Circlejerk”. Have your Spicy Hot Takes somewhere else.
If you have an issue with a post because it’s about or was made by a person you disagree with, kindly downvote and move on. Throwing a tantrum will never be productive.
Is there a way on Lemmy to block everyone from that instance so I won’t see comments from them? In my settings I did block the instance, but I still see comments from there.
Not as far as I know, sadly. I wish we’d just defederate from blahaj. That place pretends to be a “Nice safe space for everyone UwU” but is nothing but a breeding ground for hate and negativity. Hexbear at least doesn’t pretend to be a good place …
He got pissed and called someone a bleeping n word. This isn’t really just a bad word its not like he said shit. It is gross behavior and it wouldn’t just “slip out”, as he said after the fact, if he weren’t actually racist.
I’d like to preemptively direct prospective commenters’ attention to rule 6 about public figures.
Okay, buh-bye c/linuxmemes 😘
And nothing of value was lost
For the lazy
6> . (NEW!) Regarding public figures
Lmao. What an unbelievably stupid rule. “Just pretend everyone is cool even if they’re a total loser or whatever”

Just say this isn’t the right place for it. No need to debase yourself and call it a tantrum.
Average blahaj user if he’s not allowed to be toxic lmao

There is on the mobile version. I think the feature will eventually make it to desktop.
That’s actually crazy lol
None of the items listed in the rule state that
Nah he was right about Linux so be quiet about the racial slur stuff for sure.
Yeah, that rule is stupid and short-sighted.
Someone drops a bad word and you want to cancel them? “Why is everyone moving to the right?”

Sure, we’ll all just ignore the fact that Tux tried to circumvent totally legitimate and logical tariffs because of rule 6.
