Rant

A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

it reflects extremely poorly on lemmy/threadiverse in general that this type of behaviour is tolerated at all let alone encouraged
The community isn't configured to screen it out, pretty much by design.
There's not a great technical solution for screening out this kind of malicious conduct
fair point but it's not mainly a software problem. there's no reason that e.g. an article on vpn use in response to the UK online safety act shouldn't be posted/reposted to technology@instance.uk, privacy@instance.ml, worldnews@instance.elsewhere etc
what is disappointing about this cm0002 stuff is what i've seen of the general community response to the high effort attempt to flood the timeline with low effort posts. the supportive comments and upvotes suggest that people like it, and that is baffling to me
There's a naked skepticism towards any kind of moderation. And after a string of sites full of ugly administrators and sadistic moderators, who can blame them?
