MODERATORS
There's a pretty big "dank" community that's pretty much just racism that I've already blocked
I had a feeling that's what the "dank" in "dank memes" meant back on Reddit when I couldn't get a straight answer from the mods there about what made a dankmeme dank and not just a meme, as it didn't have anything to do with moisture or weed. The memes themselves were mostly just reposted from regular memes; but the comments were flaming piles of shit covered tires.
Yeah, I feel like in addition to people choosing to leave reddit, a bunch of bigots who have been up banned from reddit are trying to come to Lemmy too.
I'd like to see something where admins have to opt in to generating rather than the current arraignment where all it takes is one user following any community for it to happen.
