{Series and Serious} 1/56. What do you feel [Anger] about? Why? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to do a series on 56 different emotions which we'll eventually get through as time permits.

Anger

Anger is an intense emotion defined as a perceived provocation, the invasion of one's boundaries, or a threat. From an evolutionary standpoint, anger serves to mobilize psychological resources in order to address the threat/invasion. Anger is directed at an individual of equal status.

Try to keep it fresh by what is current but its also cool to retrospect

It's much worse on Reddit. There is a growing lexicon of words you can't even use in a comment without having a bot swoop in and nuke your post from orbit, all because a snowflake moderator doesn't like reading them.

I too get your sentiment about Lemmy's double standards. At least Spez was consistent about banning people for calling for the literal murder of billionaires.

Case in point. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, recently shared his vision of using AI powered mass surveillance to ensure everybody was on their best behaviour. Pretty much everybody on Lemmy called for him to be guillotined, whereas on Reddit such a comment would net you a permanent ban.
