several posts per day here are a clear troll posts and bids for drama but are not removed. until this community’s mods start acknowledging and responding to this problem, this community is simply providing a platform for drama fiends who get off on making you upset. simply put, this is both destructive and frankly not fun.

and i’d like to point out that reddit’s r/unpopularopinion bans political posts. not saying that this is the best move for this sub in particular, but it is something that can perhaps give guidance on what can be done.

      Two examples from today are “Gaza war is a lie” and “Christopher Columbus discovered and saved America”

        If you report those posts then your instance admins will decide if they want to keep the posts. It’s not just up to the mods on lemmy.world, it’s your instance admins who are also letting it happen.

        They sound like unpopular opinions to me.

        You do realize the average American is MUCH dumber than you think, right?
