What is your biggest complaint about Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

For me, it's the lack of diversity in opinions. IDK about you but I've only seen people from here and lemmygrad.ml, and nearly everyone is pretty far left. I'm not having a big problem with it, but the site is very, umm, single-minded.

And this mind is particularly hostile to my ideas

Eventually we'll add a user setting to hide scores, which would mitigate a lot of ppls anxiety about seeing scores / downvotes.

We had a similar idea in lemmur, though we were thinking about the bias it causes rather than the anxiety. But of course anxiety about scores is also a very valid reason to hide them. Therefore we will hold off with implementing it and wait for the official user setting to appear :)

That does make sense to do, we'll have a proper user setting for it.
