In fairness to them, they’ve massively outgrown the subreddit format and are only there because of legacy reasons and inertia.
It’s so uniquely and heavily moderated, it’s one of the few communities where it would make more sense to spin off into it’s own site where everything is custom made for them as opposed to continuing to jam reddit’s square mod tools into their circular requirements.
I like Lemmy for the few weeks I’ve been here, but the nascent moderation tools are even less appropriate for that particular sub than even reddit post-July 1st nerf.

The process of loving an institution or a country or an idea is fundamentally different from the process of loving a person.
To love a person is to accept them on every level of their being.
To love an institution is to be its harshest critic, in the hopes that we can better direct the strokes from our hammer and our chisel to reveal the sculpture within. Nobody has ever created anything beautiful by loudly claiming their block of marble is better than the rest.

I mean they basically do. $20m vs the $56m raised by customers.
But don’t let facts get in the way of you frothing at the mouth.
No, it fucking doesn’t and every mouthbreathing moron who parrots this needs to have a long hard look at themselves.
Ronald McDonald House is a good charity. Pays for parents to stay near their sick kids’ hospital. They do good work.
Stop trying to discourage people from donating to charity. You’re actively making the world worse through your own ignorance.
