several posts per day here are a clear troll posts and bids for drama but are not removed. until this community’s mods start acknowledging and responding to this problem, this community is simply providing a platform for drama fiends who get off on making you upset. simply put, this is both destructive and frankly not fun.
and i’d like to point out that reddit’s r/unpopularopinion bans political posts. not saying that this is the best move for this sub in particular, but it is something that can perhaps give guidance on what can be done.
Why not apply as a mod if it bothers you that much?
Get your hands dirty and improve the parts of Lemmy that you think are lacking, which in turn improves it for many other people. That’s my favorite part of the FOSS community <3
not a bad idea. if i do so, this post is certainly a good first step, sort of getting a temperature reading of if the community even wants the change.
