I have exactly zero confidence that these or other bad pattern will not emerge as the community grows larger

MODERATORS
Posting for the sake of posting, this decreases the quality of posts significantly. Let's say there's a new meme trending, what would happen on Reddit (and other social media) is subs would be filled with uninteresting slight variations of the same meme. I'm not against memes, but we also should pay attention to whether what we are posting is minimally interesting, useful or meaningful. Lemmy does not have a "recommended", "trending" or "hot" feed, so this should help significantly in this regard.

i really wish that most threads - such as threads on asklemmy or similar where "serious responses only" by default
coz otherwise all we'll see is the jokes being upvoted because people like to laugh. but... often you'd either have to read 200 comments to find a proper response, or you'd never find it.
alternatively, you can have a "seriousquestions" and a "askwhatever" community, so everyone is happy
I might be in the minority here (also maybe I don't want "DAE" questions coming either..), but it'd be nice if the political discussions stayed in their respective communities. It's important, but it was getting to the point where EVERY thread would deviate into childlike insults at the political level.
- I also chose this man’s ____, and my axe, “we did it”
- incessant reposts
- nazi’s / skinheads
- karma bait / outrage bait
- small handful handful of moderators overseeing hundreds of magazines. (Gallowboob situation)
Repetitive over posting of same content (looking at you Dadario) across channels/instances.
Fake stories made up for engagement (be it poop stories or fake cum-related bullshit aimed at mouth breathing teens)
