I’ve found a few and they seem to be growing as of late:

  • questions about Lemmy demographics
  • anything discussing negative effects of porn
  • benefits of AI
  • negative effects of “wokeness”
  • critiquing of individuals in trans community
  • calling out men as predominant perpetrators of violence towards women
  • anything US pro-conservative

One topic that I’ve noticed used to be a nonstarter and is now popular is anti-democrat conversation.

What are other nonstarters you’ve experienced?

EDIT: seemingly asking people what the community doesn’t want to talk about is a nonstarter

    Alright…since you’re being devil’s advocate I’ll lay out some criteria:

    • Topic would almost entirely be received negatively
    • You feel that it’s not something that the community would or should immediately balk at
    • It’s a serious discussion

      This happened to you recently, right? This post itself is getting a negative reaction because we can tell, and it comes across as whiny.

      People have opinions on and offline. You can contradict them, which is okay, but people are never going to like it, and that’s okay. Lemmy has a strongly left-wing, open-source bent, and reacts accordingly.
