  • If you’re talking about the greentext and 4chan-y sort of meme communities… I mean… it’s 4chan.

    Like, the latest post in !greentext@sh.itjust.works is about James Bond and mixology. And then at the end it’s ableist.

    I’m not sure whether that community is run/modded by people that think “it’s fine if it’s just jokes” (which I don’t agree with, for the record) or if their justification is a bit more convoluted. (Maybe something like “everyone knows to expect this community to be filled with bigotry of every single sort, but at least if they come here to this community, they’ll see such stuff in a community/climate where few would try to pass that off as a good/normal thing than if they went to 4chan for these memes, and people probably won’t stop viewing them even if they’re not available here.” Though, then again, the comments section of that community is pretty bad as well. At least far worse than most of the rest of Lemmy as far as I’ve seen.)

    But yeah. Any community that’s mostly dedicated to 4chan content is gonna be pretty well dripping with every sort of bigotry you can imagine.

    Are there other meme communities that have these issues, though? I can’t say I’ve noticed any, but would love to know at least some examples.







  • As dual_sport_dork said, you really shouldn’t worry about it, and you’re probably better off not having anything to do with Admiral Patrick, but if you really wanted to pursue it, you could PM Admiral Patrick and (very nicely) ask him how you ended up on the list and ask him to remove you. (Right now, he’s probably getting flooded with messages that are likely to generally piss him off (more so than usual), so it’s definitely worth being extra nice if you want that to have any chance of success.)
