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

EDIT: calling out men as being predominate perps of violence is NOT a nonstarter and accepted within the community. A select few think that’s being a terf but they are wrong.

    I’m convinced people railing against wokeness are just AI bots at this point. OP, can you prove you are not a stochastic parrot without saying something silly?

      Countering arguments with ad-hominem puts you right up there with AI bots when it comes to providing value to online discussions.

        I’m not even from the Lemmy world instance. I’m from the instance that specifically rails against AI slop. Thank you for being silly.

            What is your intention with this response? Do you expect me to suddenly give you something you value as a response? That would be silly based on the conversation this far.

              You never replied to the question in the post. You just came in with your own silly anti-AI agenda. Essentially showing that this discussion is a nonstarter for you. So I guess this was a valuable discussion after all.
