lemmy.world has a massive Zionism problem. Most people appear unable to handle any criticism of their cult.
I’d like to see fewer angry communists. Regular communists don’t bother me, but don’t be so aggressive about it.
happier communists? do you mean slrpnk.net?
Well, whenever the actions of capitalists stop affecting me and start being more escapable, that’s the exact minute I’ll stop being so angry. Sound like a deal?
Giving some real “live your life however you want but don’t jam it down my throat” energy and that’s… Nah, fam. That’s not the wave.
We all have problems.
Edit to add: yelling about them on the internet doesn’t do anything to solve them. Talking about it might.
Okay, do you think people have the right to get angry at problems they have in their life due to an incredibly violent and inefficient system?
Yes, there’s plenty of anger all over the world. Plenty of people who have been wronged. The type of stuff I’m referring to is more like “owning a house and having people pay you money so they can live there is criminal”, but in an “all caps” sort of tone. That sort of thing.
Feel free to talk about how rent is too high, we need legislation, etc. etc., but if you go straight to some sort of off-the-wall ideology and you’re very loud about it without discussing the nuances, my preference would be for the culture of Lemmy to not be that.

Well, it’s a nice strawman you erected to put on a piñata show for the class. Let’s hear what you think is “some sort of off-the-wall ideology”; 'cause at this point, I’d bet my left eye you’re about to say some shit that eventually terminates at “I’m okay with the global north murdering anyone they need to to maintain hegemony”.
owning a house and having people pay you money so they can live there is criminal”
The system that makes housing operate that way is criminal. Housing should not be a commodity

Honestly in most discussions I find the communists to be the more nuanced of the bunch.

People do talk, sometimes talking doesn’t work, and yelling does.
Where are you finding non-angry Communists, except in Communist spaces?
Not on Lemmy, hence it’s what I’d like to change.
Hexbear.net is generally pretty happy until a liberal walks in.
I think I have that instance blocked.
You may, or your instance may not be federated with them. You can browse it anonymously or make an account that is federated with them if you want to see it.
My instance doesn’t block it, but I blocked it with the recent feature added in 0.19.3 or 4, give or take. I think I got tired of seeing the angry people.
fewer reposts from reddit, fewer reddit copycat communities, fewer redditors.
100%. I don’t know why people, who are presumably banned from Reddit or left Reddit for reasons, want bring over the same garbage they left for.
It’s gotta be more user-friendly to regular non-tech peoples, and it has to be explained/pitched to people in a more simplified way. Also there really should be an official mobile app.
more diversty, more normies, and maybe at little less politics
A complete excision of all overlap with USA culture.
I feel like the last remnants of the New Atheists have retreated onto lemmy. Often when you reference spirituality, religion, or even reflections on group dynamics and psychology that doesn’t portray humans as perfectly rational self-interest decision-making machines, you get raided by these edgy “facts and logic” kids that are extremely annoying.
On reddit, they are contained in their own zoos, while here they seem to pile up even in generalist communities. It feels like 2012 all over again.
I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.
The real logical stance is “I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable”.
They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.
Atheism is just rejecting the claim that Hod or a specific God claim exists, it isn’t claiming that you believe with certainty he does not. I am an agnostic atheist, I reject the claim that the Jewish, Christian, whatever God exists and in fact positively believe they do not exist because of its self-contradictory nature. I admit that there might be a higher power that created our universe and is outside of time, etc, but it’s unknown/unknowable.
Perhaps a bot to auto ban quotes from ben shapiro or jordan peterson?
I want the bot that replies with horrendous shit they did or said whenever they’re mentioned.
You mean repeating the same post?
My absolute 100% main response to this topic is, by far and away, “TOO MUCH FUCKING EDGINESS”. In all its forms. I say this as a staunch atheist. Get the fuck over yourself, lemmy.
I would love to stop seeing posts in other languages pop up in my feed constantly - just some type of feature to help organize the languages of each instance a bit better.
Don’t be afraid to block instances if you would like to see less politics and doom scrolling. I listen to NPR and read my local news, so I don’t need to see all that here as well. I just want gratuitous memes and good convos about nothing important with internet strangers.
Simply, stop being dicks to each other. Politically motivated or not, a lot of people are just straight up cunts when someone says something that they don’t disagree with.
I can forgive the political extremism, and being heavily biased towards Linux, but you don’t need to insult anyone that’s to the right of Bernie, or someone that uses Windows and is happy.
Lemmy is small enough that it cannot afford to alienate people, or afford to have a superiority complex over the likes of Reddit or Twitter. The best advert is to be a welcoming community.
less politics. ive blocked like 10 political communities yet still see it all over how can people talk about this shit all day
also need more niche communities idk how to create communities on jerboa😬
Reddit is too US-centric and male-dominated. Lemmy must change that
I just wish more of the reddit escapees would understand and embrace that, technologically speaking, Lemmy is not Reddit and that this is a good thing, actually.
There will be splintered communities hosted on different servers. There will be servers that decide to defederate from each other, be it for understandable reasons or stupid ones. And you will, probably, end up having to create more than one account because of drama that had nothing to do with you.
This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. For everything you lose in convenience by not having “the everything site” where you go for literally all things, you gain flexibility and freedom. If my home-instance decides it doesn’t want legal trouble and bans talk of piracy… I can just get an account at one that has no such qualms. My browser/phone will remember my passwords for me.
A community’s culture shifting over time is inevitable, but these newcomers seem to want to change Lemmy on a technological level, and change it in ways that would rob it of the things that make it interesting, yanno?
I also wish it’d be less US-centric around here. But I guess that is inescapable.
It seems I often don’t get stuff in my inbox that should be there. Like direct replies. But honestly, I’d also like to get notifications for sibling posts or replies to replies and so on. I just want to subscribe to that discussion.
Another thing is that sometimes eternity forgets where I was doom scrolling, and it takes me forever to get back to that point. I probably just clicked away from the feed or closed all my apps.
I’d love it if we let it develop organically.
Totally with you. Just want to say that there is certain growth that comes organically that isn’t necessarily desirable.
For example many subs would start out cool and informative and then as they grew it somehow attracted an idiot crowd that was only capable of sharing memes. Or they group shift into some extreme perspectives.
In what way(s) is it not doing precisely that?
You know what never develop organically? Corporate social media platforms.
I think they’re referring to people casually mentioning that growth is desirable, which comes across as corpo think.
As you say, that perspective doesn’t have any direct relevance, but is does have impact. For example regarding the decision to defederate from threads.
The absurd European elitism.
The leftist echo chamber.
The Linux or die mentality.
The tankies.
The lack of content for smaller niche communities.
The duplication of communities across instances fracturing content even further.
The tankies.
The tankies.
