    I prefer the LW icon though :( There really should be an fedivent for mods to create icons for their comms. ^But maybe i should just make one myself and propose it.^

    I certainly hope the comments stay wholesome too. Too many times I have seen posts in communities meant to be uplifting that talk about a bad thing getting stopped or repealed or what have you (fitting), and then the comments being super negative by talking about how the bad thing will just start again, or going super into how the bad thing got passed and in less of an informative tone than a doomer one (unfitting). They might be factually correct so I never downvote that unless positivity is actually in the rules, but it’s still disheartening and counter to what I believe (but the rules don’t say, so I don’t report or downvote) is the purpose of the community, so I end up not participating.

    Although I understand “then why not go make your own,” I don’t because I mod several communities already, don’t want to go all Reddit powermod by adding even more (though I do think it would be a bit more forgivable on this newer social media where someone has to start the thing in the first place), and I’ve had less time for Lemmy as life picks up so adding even more Lemmy responsibilities doesn’t seem smart for me.

    I’d rather be called slurs than participate in a forced wholesome environment.

        Check out mine, it makes me look like an absolute monster. But I’m really not, and my views are objectively centrist on basically all topics. There is a genuine problem with viewpoint diversity - and IMO with straightforward tolerance - in Lemmy’s mainstream communities.

        That said, I think it’s great that a community can be explicitly “wholesome”. Like sibling I would probably steer clear of it, but I wish it every success.
