No matter where I sign up, the server eventually shuts down and I have to migrate all my subscriptions and lose any posts I’ve contributed.
Look out, lemmy.world. I’m on this one now.

Tankies with incoherent ideology, "AI is bad, except if I self host a FOSS version that's just as bad for the environment as the corpo one, then it's good actually"

People who post Ask Lemmy threads then delete them (or their whole account) a day later.

No particular complaints regarding the people or topics, but I wish we could do more than just up or downvote a post. In other online communities you can 🤣, or ❤️, or even 🤡 a post and that makes the experience much more enjoyable IMO, lol.
I think piefed allows that and you can interact with all lemmy posts.

Probably the federated nature of it... i know the whole point of it is decentralisation but with the likes of reddit or discord at least you could attempt to have all your content salted or deleted (whether it actually is is another story) from a single server. Knowing anything and everything you post on here will stick around forever no matter what you do, by design, makes me uneasy.

The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are "hosting" the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.

Tankies and random Ai stans once in a while.
but lack of women is not one of them.
See now this is a lie, at least if you filter by certain subreddits lol.
The last time I was on that slopfest of a site, r/Gaming was filled to the brim with posts that all followed the title of "Playing X game with my female SO" and a photo that in no way showed the SO.
So I know for a fact everyone was lying that they had a SO to play with lmao.
I do kinda miss having a total karma count. Not that it ever really meant anything, but number go up is fun

Tankies and neutral voters
I haven't picked up my knitting in ages, but I guess I could...
Can't completely delete a post or comment.
