Why can't you post a real shitpost on shitpost@lemmy? (lemmy.zip)

I've been banned twice from shitpost because of a shitpost. It seems the people on there are more sensitive than 5 ply toilet paper.

I thought Reddit was bad but they allow for a lot more shitposts than lemmy, where I thought lemmy would be more free but it is way more conservative.

And no it wasn't even anything racist or degrading. Anyway from now on just rainbows, butterflies, fairies and unicorns are allowed as shitpost. Maybe rename the sub to softpost.

Why do people always feel the need to bitch about Lemmy on Lemmy?

#1 Nobody gives a fuck if you don't like it here, it's not "for" you

#2 If you don't like it, YOU CAN GO START YOUR OWN SERVER AND DO AND SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT. Either go make your own echo chamber, or deal with the rules of the people who allow you to use their shit for free.

Let me guess, you posted some racist or homophobic slop and now you act surprised that most people on Lemmy think this is offensive?

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

But a funny picture of a fat woman lying on a skinny man, is absolutely not acceptable.

Close, it was probably sexist.

In case you don't know, there has to be more than one shitpost@lemmy. Like, I think I've seen the .world one.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

Why don’t you just start your own shitposting community?

You still have to follow instance rules though.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

Without a screenshot of the post and context, how are we to know what was offensive or not.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Do you have a link to what got removed?

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 1 points 4 days ago

Couldn't press the post button with poo all over the keyboard. Tried to report the flaw to mods, but keyboard was still acting shitty.

I just made a post there that people did not like. I thoght it was funny. I'm not banned though...yet

[–] LordFireCrotch@lemmy.today -3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

And then you'll post a question on this community and it will get locked for being a question or some shit

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

Isn't that the whole draw of Lemmy and the fediverse?

Just make your own community. If people are interested in what you and stumu want to post, they'll join.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 5 days ago

Well, this one here will probably get locked because questions about Lemmy aren't allowed.
