What mildly infuriates me is the lack of content control in this sub

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...

- 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?).

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?!?!?!

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?

2
- 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

The great thing about fedi is you c a make you're 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.
  
  39
  
  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 ?
  
  -26
- All he said was that it doesn't fit here.
  
  27
  
  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?

- Do you need a shark to go with all that jumping mate ?

  I kind of hoped that my reply made it obvious...
  
  -19
- What a fucking donkey
  
  12
- It's called reviewing content to stay on topic.
  
  11
- 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

- 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....

- Did someone make a screenshot to post it in this sub yet?

- 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
