This is a self-hosted sub. You are going to see a lot of anti-establishment, anti-corporation stuff here because it's a core principle and/or concern of many users looking into self-hosting. That tends to come with attached behaviors like you described.

While I would tend to agree that it's unfortunate that you have to wade through a lot of folks knee-jerk blanket commenting on certain topics, and that those screeching comments are annoying, Lemmy is generally a big tent, so you will need to accept their presence, the same way we have to just ignore all the AI Slop software presented here.

The price of freedom is accepting the screechers.
