There are NO things that should not be joked about. Humour in all its diversity (sarcasm and satire included) is an extremely important tool of social analysis of the situation.

As someone who got roasted on this same sub for making fun of things and people, I agree but Lemmy does not.

The important part isn't what should be joked about, it's how it should be joked about. Anything can be funny, anything can also be taken too far.

I agree, but this is a hot hot take on a place like lemmy.

From my experience: I'm sure the best holocaust jokes were lost in crematorium smoke. So it's fine.
