They're either far-right/"both sides," or tankies defending China when no one even mentioned it.

MODERATORS
what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?
That far too many can't stop talking about reddit...
The bot spam is quite a bit worse, even when turning bots off
-
The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly... Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it's like the wild wild west over here... I promise I'm not fearing for my life every time I go out.
-
The extreme left views (I'm liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)
-
The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.
-
The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let's be real, how many casual users are doing this?)
-
People always asking if something is FOSS...
These are just a few off the top of my head.

Extremism - Reddit as its share but also has millions of "normies" to balance things out. Here there doesn't seem to be any moderates.
The platform itself is dysfunctional and will prevent any real growth in average users.
Just TOO many Linux fanboys/martyrs, it is a good OS but damn stop trying to go full on religion with it.
