No, antivaxxers, anti-worker propaganda, climate change and fucking antisemitism aren't "mildly infuriating", this shit is fucking enraging.

What's your favorite breakfast food?

[–] STRIKINGdebate2 14 points 1 year ago

Cookie Crisp.

[–] adj16 3 points 1 year ago

Well I’ll ask the obvious question then - can we start removing things that don’t qualify as mild? If so, what has been the issue up to this point: That users aren’t reporting these posts, or that you didn’t want to overstep in your capacity as mod?

[–] Wrothgar 73 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn sounds like you're mildly infuriated by the type of content here.

Should there be a !fuckingenraging ?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely, I think one of the small perks that come with moving out of Reddit is being able to create your own communities as you see fit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could do that on Reddit, too...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Kinda. If your sub on Reddit ever gets to a certain popularity you will be forced to fall in line with the beliefs of the head corpos or you will or be ousted and replaced by an in house puppet.

We all saw what happened last month

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

There's also only one sub of any name, and if that gets banned or privated.. time to make "r/reallyfuckingenraging"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I would join and post a screenshot of interesting comments in this thread! ;)

Allow antivaxxers to remain so we can treat them as the worthless pieces of crap that they are.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Antivaxxers are literally dangerous, if platformed - I personally and indirectly know people who very nearly accidentally killed themselves with that stupid bullshit - still might, actually. "Here to be contradicted" is a nice, optimistic thought. It doesn't work though: this is not reasoned debate with reasonable people. They are the pigeon on the chessboard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The only danger they pose is to themselves and the witless.

Having said that, they can be really boring and monotonous. Their arguments are gormless at best, and don't have the intelligence to know when their vacuous arguments have been shot between the water line.

Will they learn anything. Nope. They are immune to intelligence (see what I did there?).

Next thing you know, youll demand women have control over their own bodies, pft.

What about the rich white men??? Have you ever thought about their needs?!?!?!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Mildly infuriating: calling this place a "sub", which is short for "subreddit". On Lemmy it's a "community".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with OP. There's a lot of political energy in the comments and maybe a second, more political board, is a good idea.

[–] c0mbatbag3l 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently there needs to be a "MildlyInfuriatingNonLinuxProblems" too.

Every other post is someone complaining about Microsoft/Apple products. Like Geez I hate them too but shit half of these aren't even real problems, you just want to complain about every little thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know what antiwork is, but what is anti-worker propaganda? the same or something else?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just from the name I'd say it's the opposite. Antiwork is a community/movement opposed to capitalist exploitation of workers. Anti-worker propaganda is propaganda which is against workers. Saying they're lazy, incompetent, don't deserve increased pay etc.

Damn, brutal. I haven't looked around enough but is that like commonly coming up in conversations here? Obviously enough that OP would be not thrilled with seeing it lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Personally, I've never seen it on here. I'm just trying to translate what it seems like they were saying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The great thing about fedi is you can make your own MildlyInfuriating and mod it how you'd like. If enough people feel the same way it will grow.

[–] kwekkie 1 points 1 year ago

Best promotion this sub could ever ask for, thanks.
