Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

MODERATORS
I don't like that it's basically Reddit. people from Reddit came here and they act like it's Reddit and it's basically Reddit
No particular complaints regarding the people or topics, but I wish we could do more than just up or downvote a post. In other online communities you can 🤣, or ❤️, or even 🤡 a post and that makes the experience much more enjoyable IMO, lol.
I think piefed allows that and you can interact with all lemmy posts.
I've been hearing a lot about this piefed business, time to check it out in earnest, maybe. 👍
People complaining about not enough variety when they don't post in those niche communities they talk about
Anytime any question about age of consent comes up there's a lot of really creepy responses. Really really creepy.
Can't completely delete a post or comment.
not enough users and content
Tankies
That a lot of people can't help themselves but read way more into the comment than it's actually saying. I can't count the times I've had to be so explicit and airtight for those bottom feeders to get it.
The topics aren't as varied here, reddit pretty much has a subreddit for any niche community you can imagine.
I like the community more here though. People are generally supportive and there seem to be fewer unrestrained jerks.

I wish. I'd say it's proportionally about the same.
I am forced to see posts in communities I am banned from for having an anti-ai stance AKA a working brain. I didn't block all of them soon enough.
What I am saying is that you should still be able to block communities you are banned from. Seeing them in my feed and being unable to get rid of them is like seeing cockroaches in a kitchen.
You should be able to add them on the Blocks tab of this page. There's a text box you can fill in with the community name. It's more annoying than pressing a button but maybe less than continuing to see the content.
You are a genius.
Sounds like it would be a good bug report.
Honestly, they should just automatically be blocked if you are banned from them.
Which is also not good because people are usually banned from channels they like and want to see the posts.

People calling each and every one an extremist, fascist or nazi for no other reason than they are being blinded by their own inability to understand their counterparts viewpoint. As irony would have it causing themselves to become extremists, often proclaiming they wish voilence or sometimes even death upon other people.
Seriously, I'm so tired of people here baselessly slinging those insults every time someone has the wrong opinion. I'm tempted to start naming and shaming.
The fucking politics oh my god, in every fucking community good lord. No way to filter it out either.
This is a mostly Western place and two big Western players might have just started WW3 (okay, hopefully and probably not but still), I feel like it's warranted.
Blocking people is just the same as muting them. I prefer people I block to not be able to see or interact with me ever again.
People keep supporting socialism when it is painfully obvious they don't know what the word even means.
Not every positive thing the government does is "socialism"
Social programs instituted by the government are not "socialism"
What you're actually supporting is democratic socialism and has nothing to do with communism or socialism as a philosophy.
Nah comrade, I want to seize the means of production!
Aka the most useless argument that gets repeated on lemmy over and over. It has about as much use as "I'll join the revolution as soon as some other people start it."
