Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts? (lemmy.world)

I don't get it, every post here that isn't about Linux or some serious topic seems to get downvoted to hell.

I like Linux as much as the next guy, but c'mon, not everything here has to be about it or serious topics...

!jokes@lemmy.world, !jokes@lemmy.ml or maybe !humor@lemmy.world to name a few

There's also !shittyasklemmy@lemmy.ml but it doesn't seem very active.

Ugh. Nothing is more tone deaf to human culture than telling a person there’s a room down the hall dedicated to telling jokes.

How so? I think it perfectly encapsulates human culture.

People literally gather in rooms to listen jokes (comedy clubs, stand up performances etc). And others gather in different rooms to listen to music, for example. But if you show up in the music room and start performing stand-up, people will tell you, you're in the wrong place.

I'm glad he did. It isnt a problem at all, I was excited to learn about new on-topic communities to join and add to my feed ;)
