The toxic behaviour found in a lot of subreddits. Its an inevitable thing that it brews in communities or instances, but it'd be nice if Lemmy held itself above repeating the patterns of the lowest common denominedditor.

MODERATORS
While I absolutely agree with you and would love to see a total absense of toxicity, that is a people issue, not a platform one.
Guaranteed Lemmy will be the same, and the bigger it grows the more you'll see.
I might be in the minority here (also maybe I don't want "DAE" questions coming either..), but it'd be nice if the political discussions stayed in their respective communities. It's important, but it was getting to the point where EVERY thread would deviate into childlike insults at the political level.
- I also chose this man’s ____, and my axe, “we did it”
- incessant reposts
- nazi’s / skinheads
- karma bait / outrage bait
- small handful handful of moderators overseeing hundreds of magazines. (Gallowboob situation)
Repetitive over posting of same content (looking at you Dadario) across channels/instances.
Fake stories made up for engagement (be it poop stories or fake cum-related bullshit aimed at mouth breathing teens)
i really wish that most threads - such as threads on asklemmy or similar where "serious responses only" by default
coz otherwise all we'll see is the jokes being upvoted because people like to laugh. but... often you'd either have to read 200 comments to find a proper response, or you'd never find it.
alternatively, you can have a "seriousquestions" and a "askwhatever" community, so everyone is happy
