Extremism - Reddit as its share but also has millions of "normies" to balance things out. Here there doesn't seem to be any moderates.
The platform itself is dysfunctional and will prevent any real growth in average users.
Just TOO many Linux fanboys/martyrs, it is a good OS but damn stop trying to go full on religion with it.
Bot accounts archiving/copying posts from Reddit. If I wanted to see them I’d go to Reddit. Some of these bot accounts I can’t even block because of a bug, maybe do to sheer amount of posts from these accounts.
what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?
That far too many can't stop talking about reddit...
Everyone just talks about Reddit and Linux. Also people are just generally jerks on here. I don't comment much because I just see people getting dragged for not being as knowledgeable as others.
Obsession with Reddit, Linux, being communists. Everyone here is a former reddit mod/addict, I'm not surprised. This place is somehow worse than reddit in a different way.
The defederation topic and how it impacts me.
I'm an adult, if I find something offensive I'll either block it or ignore it. However, not giving me the choice offends me and IMHO goes against what Lemmy and the fediverse was suppose to deliver.
I understand (and read) the reason's why site owners defederate and I view it largely as "Lemmy isn't mature enough to support more granular blocking - yet", so I wait patiently and hope this trend towards defederation doesn't turn into a powertrip by site owners "for the good of their users...."
The instance isn't yours. It doesn't belong to the users. You are graced with being allowed to use it. The owner of the instance is the one that gets into legal trouble because you want to post your loli furry pictures to the world. If I ran my own instance I would be restricting content as well. And federating with an instance that hosts that shit forces them to also host that content.
Political extremists are about same as Reddit. If you're Left enough for them. They will miss you up.
All (but one) of the we need to defederate from [name of instance here] posts. I seen don't have proof (links or screenshots) to prove they're not lying. Nothing but trust me, bro.
Not the users but lemmy itself. Sorting by hot is pointless since you see the same post for days at a time. I get lemmy is small but shit it can't be that hot for that many days.
I have a sense that the islands (instances) are concentrating/amplifying more extreme views echo chamber style. I'm sure it was there on reddit too... but I feel like I am exposed to more far right and far left viewpoints that are presented in a toxic/offensive manner on lemmy. It happened occasionally on Reddit but it is daily on lemmy. I am browsing All to find new content and not really liking what I find.
The number of pro-communist posts in here is comical. The amount of anti-capitalist posts is almost comical. Obviously related to some degree.
The lack of posts outside of a few main news and politics communities is frustrating.
People not marking nsfw content nsfw.... Front page is a minefield whilst in public transport
If anything Lemmy users so far have been much less annoying than most reddit users. I feel like I'm reading through less garbage, and comment sections don't look like the same joke repeated ad nauseum.
Super opinionated people who are completely blind to the thing they're discussings shortfalls.
See: anything to do with Linux.
They're either far-right/"both sides," or tankies defending China when no one even mentioned it.
Being really eager to defederate over relatively minor crap. What's the point of Lemmy then, man?
There aren't mod tools yet. They are working on it. The only option is defederation which is kinda overkill and dramafilled right now. More mod tools will come because it is open source after all
You make a good point. Do you have any ideas about what specifically should be added? I'm way out of the loop regarding what's missing and what mods need.
