… I just want to find and post about an amazing sports game and this is what I see.

What in the hell does AR 15 have to do with baseball?

This is America type shit? I’m not even sure where to drop this … I’m asking lemmy.

      as the top result on “baseball” … that’s the point of the post :)

      I just wanted to find a thread to talk about AZ comeback on Philly.

        Fair. Unfortunately, I hear moderation isn’t a priority of Lemmy devs.

        I hope you can find your people.

      Are you suggesting that’s the lemmy algorithm for baseball? I just wanted to talk about sports and the search result provided the top result as a discussion about weapons. I hope you don’t misunderstand me, as I think we’re taking the same position, that something needs to change because what was desired is certainly not what was provided.

        I was giving a joking mouth breather response to anyone saying they don’t want to fetishize firearms 24/7.

        Honest response:

        It looks like the search function is broken.

          We agree. Though, I’m getting down-voted. My reddit days are coming back to me… I’m sweating. I made a point that I think is valid and it’s unpopular. What do I do now? Omergd… guess i’ll just go to sleep. My first post ever is at -3. :: shrug ::

            imo it’s probably because you didn’t acknowledge the fact that the result that came up is satire. This may have led to some confusion about the point of the post.

              That’s fair. I know the onion is satire …I was just stunned it was the top result for a generic search term for “baseball.” To be fair I’m fucking wasted and was just looking for a place to shout and be rowdy … omgergd AZ tied the series up. … but alas … was met with some shit about guns.

            Don’t worry about that shit. DVs mean nothing.

            Now you see why I posted the original comment, any mention of firearms that is not 100% glowing admiration will bring out the gun fetishists.

        Maybe they accidentally put it in the wrong burrow (the Lemmy equivalent of subreddits). It happens. If things get carried away, you can also report something to mods. A report first goes to the mods of a burrow, unless they let it drift out of their hands and then it goes to site admins. Admins here are incredibly nice.
