I'll go first. I wish Lemmy communities existed for: destroyed tanks. Ukraine War video report. sopranos duckposting. benzodiazepines.

I will comment more as I think of them.

my point was that politics and religion shouldn’t ever be mentioned unless you want to start an argument

Firstly, I agree that there is a time and a place and a lot of people seem to not know the boundaries.

That being said, bringing up a controversial subject isn’t always just about a fight. It might seem like it is, but sometimes we just want to discuss an issue.

Also, even arguing has its merit. While you’re not going to change the mind of the person you’re arguing with, you might sway the opinions of bystanders.

But yeah, I agree keep it out of shitposts.
