Nazis.
This is the big one
Yeah, fuck Nazis!
Yeah, but actual Nazis. Not "you disagreed with me or voted for someone I don't like so I'm going to call you a Nazi."

Upvote/downvote counts mangling. Just show the real numbers, don't mess with them with an unknown "algorithm".
Mods locking threads because “y'all can’t behave” jfc just ban accounts breaking the rules and let the rest discuss
Zero tolerance for fascists, and zero tolerance for state propagandists.
The fact that Lemmy is federated means you don't need to be tolerant of anyone and if they want to keep spewing bigotry and lies. If you make it impossible for them to exist in an instance they'll have to either give up or spool up their own instance that we can isolate.
Because running an instance requires some organization, maintenance, and money, anything that becomes too isolated from the rest of the fediverse will eventually die out.
Reddit has a longstanding reputation for being a hive of scum and villainy (like hosting the_donald for years, or kotakuinaction, etc). I really hope that Lemmy keeps with the general left-leaning vibes of the fediverse overall, hopefully being a good space for queer people, women, people of colour, etc.
I think you do have to be careful here though. If you're too permissive you allow bigotry, but if you're too restrictive you cut off honest, good faith debate and create echo chamber silos where beliefs are never challenged.
Bigotry should never be accepted but that means non-discriminatory opinions, especially ones you disagree with, should be allowed.
Good faith is the key here. I'm all for disagreements leading to lengthy discussions and even some controversy as long as everyone is arguing in good faith.
I can't stand trolling, outright bigotry, and the normalization of literal fascist opinions as a mere "disagreement". If a "disagreement" (you know which ones I mean) will lead to people dying if enabled, I'm pretty happy keeping those ideas out.

The word "based"
I'd like less nazis. Including the dog whistling kind.
Since Nazis took over a Bluey Memes (children's cartoon) Facebook page, I realized the only way to be rid of them is to have a zero tolerance for Nazis policy. Anything community purports "free speech" should be considered an immediate dog whistle for fascist creep.
You should say "fewer Nazis." Ha! Didn't think you'd meet a grammar Nazi so soon did you?
You should actually say "No Nazis at all"
The forced 'inside jokes' that filled so many threads, so many times you would see a post and be able to predict the top comment and its replies. Hoping that the lack of account karma helps with that.
Ah, the ole Lemmy switcheroo.
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger.
