There are more general conversation posts than shitposts in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.ml If you wanna discuss about something just post it on the appropriate discussion community, not in !memes@lemmy.ml
Half of the “”“fun”“” stuff is extremely depressing. Can someone explain to me how an overused meme about “Big corporations are destroying our world, stealing our wealth and you can’t do anything about it” is “fun”
I don’t wanna sound like a dopamine addict or a “Commies ruined my Lemmy” type of guy because I’m really not. I would happily take part in these discussions if they were posted on !politics I just don’t wanna get reminded of these things while I’m just lurking around and trying to empty my head
Only !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone knows how to post properly but even they suffer those same things and they are still not as great as r/196 from Reddit before it was closed
Again my complaints are not about the content, it’s great but rather it’s about how nothing is categorized properly. If I wanna have fun and laugh a bit I don’t wanna get interrupted by doomer posts and if I wanna get serious and discuss something I want an actual discussion post and not the comment section of a meme
Although for the most part I have grown to appreciate the lack of possiblility to downvote on the instance I use, it really does get in the way of community self-regulation. I understand the argument that downvotes can, and have, led to echo chambers and piling on, but there has to be some middle ground.
Yeah, I actually migrated to a new instance today because of a few users who were seriously begging to be downvoted, and lemmy.one didn’t allow it.
Way too many ignorant bigots hanging about to not downvote.
