No, antivaxxers, anti-worker propaganda, climate change and fucking antisemitism aren’t “mildly infuriating”, this shit is fucking enraging.
Damn sounds like you’re mildly infuriated by the type of content here.
Zinger!
Should there be a !fuckingenraging ?
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.
You could do that on Reddit, too…
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
There’s also only one sub of any name, and if that gets banned or privated… time to make “r/reallyfuckingenraging”
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.
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.
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?).
Of course they are. I personally only feel that the only tragedy to an antivaxxer getting run down in a parking lot would be if the driver didn’t immediately shift into reverse and repeat the process.
However, the ultimate price we pay to shut these idiots up is too high. If we continue to adress them with the scorn and lack of respect they deserve, they tend to go away on their own.
You seem like a really nice person
the truth is hard
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?!?!?!
Hi. Mod here. I am free to discuss this with any users here. If anyone wants to ask me anything you all cam go ahead.
What’s your favorite breakfast food?
Cookie Crisp.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
European or African swallow?
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?
Mildly infuriating: calling this place a “sub”, which is short for “subreddit”. On Lemmy it’s a “community”.
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.
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.
I know what antiwork is, but what is anti-worker propaganda? the same or something else?
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
Personally, I’ve never seen it on here. I’m just trying to translate what it seems like they were saying.
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.
Best promotion this sub could ever ask for, thanks.
Did you know there’s a block button for things you don’t like?
So… your suggestion is turning lemmy into an authoritarian regime that censors whatever you or someone might consider “enraging”. lemmy.world did that with piracy instances… lol. You’re proposing openly banning options/speech that doesn’t conform to your view of the world? Like China, Russia, NK and others do? What’s the point of an alternative to reddit if you turn it into a system that has the same restrictions and centralized control?
Look I’m not saying I agree with the “political” views of that people you mentioned, what I’m saying is that you can’t just censor stuff because it “enrages” you. That would be… turning lemmy into a “safe space” ahaha 😂 😂 😂 😂
Dude. You figuratively just walked into a public library and shouted “HAVE YOU GUYS TRIED MOVIES? THEY ARE WAY BETTER THAN BOOKS!!!”
And then to top it off, when you got shushed, you followed up with “HELP HELP! I’M BEING OPPRESSED!”
It doesn’t matter how many people agree that movies are great, it’s not the time or the place for that.
I mean, not to rain on your metaphor but they’ve had movies at my library for like thirty years. They just got a board and video game collection too. I recommend checking out your local libraries again if you haven’t done it in a while.
The way I see it, the OP is the one crying about his views being oppressed by opposite views… Why do people go for that, why can’t he simply scroll over the posts that offend him? or comment instead of getting all triggered ?
I understand that you don’t think that OP should complain about posts that don’t belong in a community dedicated to ONE VERY SPECIFIC THING.
If I go to the Lego store and it’s full of lingerie, I’m hoping to be confused, check where I am, and then say, “Why do you guys keep stocking underwear instead of Lego?”
“OH MY GOD! STOP CENSORING ME! I LIKE LINGERIE AND THAT’S MY RIGHT! IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, QUIETLY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND BE ANTI UNDERWEAR YOU FASCIST!!!”
Ok, that’s fine, but this is a LEGO store.
I’m trying to explain why everyone is tearing you apart for your comment. Neither the time not the place. I’m sorry, but if you can’t understand, you’re just going to keep looking stupid.
Wanting shit to be properly categorized isn’t oppression. Your take is flat-out idiotic.
I think OP is complaining about a subreddit being filled with off-theme stuff.
Mildly infuriating is like the fact Ikea doesn’t put sporks in their silverware sets when it’s clearly the best utensil.
He’s saying people are mis-using the subreddit.
(sporks are) clearly the best utensil.
I’m posting this to the sub
I don’t think anyone is offended or “getting all triggered” (projection, maybe?), I think OP is annoyed that the community isn’t properly moderated (and I share that annoyance). Moderator action only became “oppressive” when we had centralised social media; in the old days of forums if you didn’t like the moderators you just made your own forum, you’d complain about the old moderators but to complain about “oppression” would be laughable because they can have their website and you can have yours. Thankfully both OP and I have that option - if what the people here want is low-quality off-topic crap then that’s what they can have, I could make my own mildly infuriating if I cared enough, and if others wanted they could go there - it’s totally democratic.
All he said was that it doesn’t fit here.
Who’s he to decide what fits and what doesn’t fit? What if someone else decides his posts doesn’t fit here? Who’s right then?
The person/people who run the community.
So… back to the authoritarian regime style of dealing with issues.
Careful there, you’re may hurt your back trolling so hard
Ahaha that’s fair :)
Fellas, is moderating a community authoritarianism?
Everything is if you stretch hard enough
Exploding heads approves of this message!
Home to all things “Mildly Infuriating” Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that. I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined.
~~ Literally the community description
I’m not saying “this place has no place on lemmy”, I’m saying this is not the sub for that.
Do you need a shark to go with all that jumping mate ?
I kind of hoped that my reply made it obvious…
It’s called reviewing content to stay on topic.
What a fucking donkey
Gotta admit, your reply fits the sub perfectly
god forbid lemmy not be a place that makes people feel like shit, that simply wouldn’t do.
Everyone must be as miserable as me at all times
Did someone make a screenshot to post it in this sub yet?
Ooof take your meds bro
Sounds good to me.
We all make choices about the company we keep.
I choose not to hang out in biker bars because for me a motorbike is a form of transport and really not interesting to talk about. I get really bored.
My brother is a bike enthusiast with the tattoos etc and he can go on about bikes…What never ceases to amaze me is how the same arguments that the “antivaxxers, anti-worker propaganda, climate change and fucking antisemitism” use can be applied to all sides and opinions on those subjects ahah
