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.

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.

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 ?

Wanting shit to be properly categorized isn't oppression. Your take is flat-out idiotic.

I understand that you don't think that OP should complain about posts that don't belong in a community dedicated to ONE VERY SPECIFIC THING.

If I go to the Lego store and it's full of lingerie, I'm hoping to be confused, check where I am, and then say, "Why do you guys keep stocking underwear instead of Lego?"

"OH MY GOD! STOP CENSORING ME! I LIKE LINGERIE AND THAT'S MY RIGHT! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, QUIETLY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND BE ANTI UNDERWEAR YOU FASCIST!!!"

Ok, that's fine, but this is a LEGO store.

I'm trying to explain why everyone is tearing you apart for your comment. Neither the time not the place. I'm sorry, but if you can't understand, you're just going to keep looking stupid.

I think OP is complaining about a subreddit being filled with off-theme stuff.

Mildly infuriating is like the fact Ikea doesn’t put sporks in their silverware sets when it’s clearly the best utensil.

He’s saying people are mis-using the subreddit.

(sporks are) clearly the best utensil.

I'm posting this to the sub

I don't think anyone is offended or "getting all triggered" (projection, maybe?), I think OP is annoyed that the community isn't properly moderated (and I share that annoyance). Moderator action only became "oppressive" when we had centralised social media; in the old days of forums if you didn't like the moderators you just made your own forum, you'd complain about the old moderators but to complain about "oppression" would be laughable because they can have their website and you can have yours. Thankfully both OP and I have that option - if what the people here want is low-quality off-topic crap then that's what they can have, I could make my own mildly infuriating if I cared enough, and if others wanted they could go there - it's totally democratic.

All he said was that it doesn't fit here.

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?

The person/people who run the community.

So... back to the authoritarian regime style of dealing with issues.

Fellas, is moderating a community authoritarianism?

Everything is if you stretch hard enough

Home to all things “Mildly Infuriating” Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that. I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined.

~~ Literally the community description

I'm not saying "this place has no place on lemmy", I'm saying this is not the sub for that.

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

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

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....

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
