Pretty much accepted it was the end of reddit when that started appearing.... /s
That and 9gag immigrants
If lemmy can avoid the use of /s and 9gag immigrants I'll be a happy little lemonian.

You're stepping on the joke, once by mentioning it, and again by ripping out the best thing about low-key sarcasm: that some people don't get the joke.
Frankly, its racist against the British.

Writing and reading sarcasm on screenplays work, though. So why not on any Internet social platforms? This buffles a lot of Redditors. They really take the post/replies too serious.

Fear of dropping the hammer down on bad actors.
And power mods too. No point moving to the Fediverse just to have all the content moderated and censored by 8 or 10 power trippy losers.
That's a good thing about Fediverse. Anyone can create their own instance and recreate the board/community/magazine there. Nobody needs to be under the thumb of some sore mod.
We just need a well maintained core and installer so anyone, anywhere can get an instance going.
That's how I understand it anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I wish there was multidimensional voting, and a way to filter out downvotes from people you don't align with. Minority opinions matter, but then getting downvoted to oblivion because the majority doesn't agree is damaging. It tends to lead to lowest common denominator content or proven reposts.

One thing that I think would be interesting would be a small change to the upvote downvote system. Instead of just showing the total upvote -downvote, you could instead have a percentage, say as a pie chart. That way a user could visually see how agreeable/disagreeable a controversial topic is, instead of just + and - karma.

Zero tolerance for fascists, and zero tolerance for state propagandists.
The fact that Lemmy is federated means you don't need to be tolerant of anyone and if they want to keep spewing bigotry and lies. If you make it impossible for them to exist in an instance they'll have to either give up or spool up their own instance that we can isolate.
Because running an instance requires some organization, maintenance, and money, anything that becomes too isolated from the rest of the fediverse will eventually die out.
