Asklemmy

It started off okay, but I'm about to give up on Lemmy after a couple months.

My main problems are:

• The comments here are hit-or-miss. Every big thread deteriorates into pedantic arguments. It's seemingly a worsening trend and is on-par with the bullshit you'd see on Reddit.
• Lack of comment moderation in larger communities. If a thread devolves into off-topic arguments or name-calling, the mods should step in.
• The default active sort is pretty terrible in so many ways. It's much too slow to change and you'll often see repetitive content. Smaller communities tend to have no visibility, but instead see 5 posts from the same large community.
• Lack of any content. I wouldn't mind a bot reposting an RSS feed or something into a community just to start discussion... But many are vehemently against that idea (leading to small communities dying completely). I'd argue the reason !technology@lemmy.world hasn't died out yet is because of the l4s bot.
• Way too many politics. I'm so tired of seeing political discussion online---but here, you're just bombarded with it, even outside of political communities. Better moderation might help keep things on topic.

Maybe I'll come back after a year and see how things are. But as of now, Lemmy provides nearly zero value to me.
