making brigading more unacceptable here than it seems to be on reddit would be nice

Massive amounts of cross-posting / re-posting of the same memes over and over again for klout farming. It's seriously awful on Reddit.
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.
Everything on that AMA
Neoliberalism and collaboration with various State Department agents.

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.
Poe's law mate. Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
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.
I like the anonymity of Reddit (I had multiple accounts there too) but it would be great if we could use our own domains as a handle as a way of being βverifiedβ. I know this is possible on the AT Protocol with BlueSky, might even be possible here, but I thought it would help with giving some authority/authenticity to users who want or need it.
I feel the same, I mostly lurk.
