I like that when someone creates a community, It usually just becomes a diary for them being able to post what they wanna see, I think we could all be nicer to each other in these trying times

Edit: damn y'all, don't just say the bad thing you gotta say a good thing too

I like that lemmy is more international than reddit was/is, and so we get more viewpoints on different events.

I don't like how slack some community moderators are. There are too many communities that allow too wide a variety. I saw a post in mentalhealth.world that was a political complaint that didn't have any relevance to mental health, and the one commenter who tried to call that fact out got harassed by the OP.

I don't like how xenophobic a lot of users here are. I've seen a lot of users attack others over things individuals can't control. Hating citizens of XYZ nation rather than their politicians/leaders.

Not every Russian is evil. Not every American is evil. Not every British, Hungarian, Isreali, etc. Yes the people have the majority, but most regular citizens are just as scared of their government as anyone.

Yeah there's people that support their government to delusional degrees, but a lot of what I'm referring to is umbrella'd as, 'your leader is still in power so you must be a baddie.' It's not just on .ml either, it's on .zip, piefed, .world, all of them. I personally have been treated as a trump-loving ice-supporter or otherwise complicit, just for saying I'm American.
