I kind of agree with the sentiment from the other answers. In the last weeks I’ve seen quite a few comments made by users, threatening to leave the platform because of one thing or the other. I want to be clear that I think everyone should be welcome here, and should feel there is a place for them as well. However, I am under the impression that most of these people commenting this are not really generating content themselves.
I think it’s important to realize that lemmy is in a growing stage, with growing pains. The content is as good as we, the community, make it. If you feel disenfranchised, it is certainly your right to respectfully complain, but I think it would be even more valuable to create a community that reflects your needs, and to create content that will please you and people with interests aligned with yours.
Edgelords here making me question my lemmy account. I really hope lemmy crawls out of this phase and becomes a place that normies can feel at home.

I blocked the meme subs, which massively improves the experience.
You’re on a meme sub though?
Sometimes I enjoy getting my balls kicked.
