    Things you should never get caught liking on Lemmy:
    Nintendo
    Windows
    Auth-right, lib-right, or lib-left politics
    A can of beans
    Police
    Man vs bear hypothetical
    CalyxOS
    Etc.

      I know Lemmy’s objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert! Honestly, I consider myself quite lucky I hit a group where I actually do match the hivemind instead of being different yet again. Except I think Lemmy has a much higher tolerance for political posts, and for personal insults towards people who don’t share the hivemind than I do, but hey, you’ll probably never hit 100% consensus with any big group), except: I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans? What’s wrong with canned beans?

        It’s a reference to this post. A lot of people found it funny but a lot of lemmings also thought it was insulting and spam
