Respectfully mention that it’s kinda insensitive, kinda like, “hey man, don’t you think that’s kinda insensitive?” and you’ll probably figure out fairly quickly which one is the answer. Additionally, if they legit don’t know why it’s insensitive, then you can educate them!
Just remember that tone can be difficult to convey on the internet, and sometimes you have to exaggerate the intended tone for it to be understood. Additionally, in my experience, asking the question from the other person’s perspective (“don’t you think that’s kinda insensitive” vs “I think that’s kinda insensitive”) seems to help a lot.
Yeah, no. The Internet isn’t meant to be a safe space for bigots. They’re free to post and everyone else is free to chase them back under the rock where they belong.
and this is where the conversation usually devolves into a hate fuck of everyone actually agreeing but they used the wrong words so I’m all in on you being the bad guy now.
I’ll make the analogy more clear to you. In 1984 the government got absolute information control, thats what you guys are worried about. In Fahrenheit 451 people themselves censored everything that offended anyone, eventually leading to all the books being burnt.
People have opinions, and lemmy is becoming a worse echochamber than reddit.
Except the irony here is that the people we don’t want here are those offended by everything, like different people existing, and are also the one banning books. most people aren’t as easily offended as you make out to be, but most people expect jokes and behavior to be done in good taste, which translates to meaning no harms and no hate. only extremists of all sorts usually break that “rule”.
But nobody is burning books, we’re just saying don’t be a piece of shit on our website. If you feel like being a piece of shit, https://boards.4chan.org/b/ is right here, perfectly safe and unburned.
People have the right to say what they want (at least in the US, mostly), which includes people voicing their disagreement with stuff. It’s a two-way street and we’re better off with it that way. You can’t force someone to listen to you, just like someone can’t force you to listen to them.
What you can do, however, is attempt to educate people if they’re willing to be educated. If successful in doing so, you help decrease the amount of bigotry that exists. In my opinion, attempting to engage with an individual to determine their intent is a way of dealing with it. Why stay silent when you could help make the world a better place?

I hate concern trolls even more than I do being confused with a nazi, and I’m pretty average so ymmv
How about just deal with it? Internet is meant to be free space, that includes racists, bigots, rednecks, people you disagree with.
Lemmy is worried about 1984 but in actuality is becoming Fahrenheit 451.
Yeah, no. The Internet isn’t meant to be a safe space for bigots. They’re free to post and everyone else is free to chase them back under the rock where they belong.
While you’re not wrong he said free space not safe space
And had it pointed out they’re free to post …just not free from consequences.
Unleash the kevins.

I don’t think you’ve read either book because that analogy makes absolutely no sense.

Oh so you ARE and ignorant, uninformed shitbag.
insulting someone’s intelligence while being unable to form a sentence will always be funny
Hey man, don’t you think that’s kinda insensitive?
Nobody on the left is burning books if you’d look outside your bunker asshole.
“but why can’t I say offensive shit, it’s so funny every single time”
It’s not, edgy humor is stale especially the likes of 4chan
Love you telling on yourself with that list
