Eh. I'd say there's exceptions. Maybe more to the point of "Don't Punch Down"?

I can laugh all day at the rich/privileged suffering the consequences of their own mistakes.

I think its more the way humor is used/intended.

The problem is that people use humor as a weapon. If you fall those people point a finger at you and laugh while calling you an idiot.

Others use it as a way to deal with stuff or in general just see it as something to make light of a situation. Those people would also laugh but they would come to your help, ask if everything is alright and would help you up. While knowing that everybody falls down sometimes and that it can funny.

Everything can be funny with the right people and that helps to cope.

The problem with racist humor is that theres a limited number of premises. How many ways can you make a slavery or no father joke about black people? How many math jokes can you make about asians? Muslim terrorists? You get the idea.

I dont want the same lazy bullshit over and over. I want my dark humor to be fresh! I want my Titan submarine jokes before the bubbles reach the surface.

Racist humor isnt "dark" humor, its lazy tired rehashed crap. Real dark humor is like kids with leukaemia, it never seems to get old.

Fair, I never went on those subs and I'd imagine most Redditors didn't. I'd also imagine there are some Lemmy instances which are just as bad if not worse. I guess that's a bit different because federation means those communities are isolated from other instances, but I don't know if practically it's any different when it's so easy to have accounts across multiple instances. I'd imagine anyone using one of those highly isolated instances on Lemmy will have an account on another instance.

Well damn that's some weird shit to be posting

88 lol

Uhm, who knows. Since everyone can create an instance there is no telling.
