What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Gender critical ideas are based on truth and reality. If those ideas are censored here that would be terrible.

Hi! I'm trans. If you're looking to change your mind about that I'm happy to chat! Otherwise I suggest you look to get out of here as soon as possible.

That's the beautiful thing about being a federated platform. You can create your own island and fill it with all the hatred and bad "science" you want. it's worked for the British for centuries.

No hatred here. Just leave the kids and women spaces alone.

I’ve never understood the need to militantly oppose others’ personal situations when they have no impact on your own. Even playing devil’s advocate - what is the point of the hate? You don’t believe in gender identity, then don’t personally be trans. The fact that others may be would seem to have literally zero impact on you or your life. Why should Lemmy accommodate negativity that does real harm to people in sensitive circumstances?
