MODERATORS
For me it's the over representation of self described communists that take over every thread to poetically or unpoetically just keep saying capitalism=bad and then do shit like justify bad behavior because capitalism=bad or pretend to care about making sure employees get paid while advocating for piracy of everything being justified.
I have no problem discussing political opinions. I hate how every thread gets co opted by un critical hot takes for the circle jerk of up votes. It's frustrating that any post about digital media has the top comments all saying "Yarrrr, time to sail the high sees." Or anytime there's any news about a corporation, the top comment seems to be "fuck capitalism and those greedy greedy share holders." Those kinds of comments aren't critical, aren't contributing to any meaningful conversation. On reddit I think it succeeded when you had communities of enthusiasts having conversations about the thing they are enthusiastic about. Lemmy seems to have a lot more people enthusiastic about a political position just try to spread that on any and all communities.
